#WisdomWednesdays One of my favourite quotes is: “you can either make excuses or you can make history, the choice is yours”. Something that really helps me is that I always try to remind myself; if I succeed or if I fail, everything is in my hands. This helps me with responsibility and accountability. This kind of forces me to make good, smart decisions with the right intentions.⁣⁣

I think excuses are just limited beliefs that hold us back so that we can’t reach our full potential. For me when I think about it, if I make excuses, it is because I am scared or nervous. In my experience, when I am scared and I force myself to do something, and I finally achieve it, I feel so much better afterwards. A lot of the time fear is just self-induced. Sometimes you just have to go for it because the end results can be extraordinary.⁣⁣

People say it all the time, “never live with regrets”, and I think if you want to do something anything is possible, with a little bit of hard work, self-belief, and support. All great things start with a simple idea. I think we were all born to do more than what we are actually doing right now. Every day, we have 84,000 seconds, why waste them?
