No more excuses
No more victim mentality
Blaming other people for my problems
I'm taking full responsibility
Yeah my dad left me at 5 years old.
And committed suicide
Left my mom alone to raise me and my sister
It was hard but I will not use it as a crutch or an excuse.
To not be successful
My past will not shape my present or dictate my future
I'm my own man now
I'm the architect of my life
I will re-write my story and finish my race strong
God truly is the father to the fatherless
Even if you can't see Him, he sees you
And there is still a purpose and plan for your life
So what if they took advantage of you
Ripped you off in the deal
Sometimes you win, sometimes you learn
I will grow from this
But I not be one of those people who re-tells there story
Of wo over and over again to anyone who will listen
They say life is 10% what happens to you
And 90% how you respond to what happens to you
Stop pointing fingers and placing the blame on others
Your life will only change when you accept full responsibility for it.
It's not about the hand your dealt
But how well you play that hand
Leaders flourish in times of crisis
Don't be so quick to give up your peace and your power
Instead of feeding myself excuses why I can't
I will feed myself reasons why I can and will
Don't tell me you're too tired,
Too sore
Too busy
I don't have enough time
We're are all given the same 24 hours a day
It's how you spend your time that differentiates
The successful to the unsuccessful
If it really matters to you you will find a way
No money
Lack of connections or geography can stop you
But I'm too old or too late:
Ray Crock didn't start McDonalds until he was 52
Steve Jobs released the first iPhone in his early fifties
If you think trying to go for your dream is risky
Wait until life hands you the bill 10 years later for not trying
Fear is temporary... Regret is forever.
I've already got a million reasons why I can't
But I just need one reason why I can do it.
Everyone thought the 4 minute mile was impossible until
On a wet cool day May the 6th 1954 Roger Banister broke through that barrier.
Even his rivals breathed a sigh of release that this crazy goal was actually attainable.
That which seems unreachable becomes the benchmark now with
Thousands who have conquered that 4-minute mountain.
If you think you can you can
No excuses
