Are You Too Afraid of the Future? - Exposing the Lies We Tell Ourselves

in life •  4 years ago  (edited)

There are countless excuses for not starting a business. They are usually the same ones we use to explain why we never take the first step towards doing something.


Excuses are the lies we tell ourselves when we were too afraid of the future. In life, sometimes things just don't go your way, but we think we have nothing to lose by hanging in there and hoping things will work out for us. When things don't go your way, you might feel a sense of shame and blame yourself, but that is a lie, excuses are what makes life what it is.

Excuses are what help us to deal with the harsh reality of life. We have been conditioned from childhood to believe certain things. If we feel bad, we can try to rationalize it away and say we were wrong, we don't want to admit it, or that maybe we didn't do something right and that we will be fine in time. Unfortunately, that never happens and we always end up feeling bad about our behavior.

Excuses allow us to hide the truth about ourselves. When we tell ourselves "I don't like this", we are telling the world who we really are. If we hide the truth, we don't actually allow anyone to know the truth.

The real truth about ourselves is that we are people of character and that it is okay to be scared, it is okay to fail, and it is okay to take risks. In fact, it is the only way to achieve anything in life.

It is important to realize that you don't have to justify or rationalize an excuse with another excuse. It doesn't matter why you made the excuse, what matters is what it is for you. You might have been scared when you were young, but if you had just given yourself permission to feel scared, you wouldn't have to justify your fear any longer.

In life, there are no excuses and it is up to you to decide what you are going to do. The key thing is to find out why you have them, then decide what you can do about that. Once you know why you have them, you can do whatever you can to move forward and move past them. with conviction and determination.

When you start moving past the excuses, life is bound to be easier. Life is about finding the answers, getting up and taking action, and making the decision to move towards your dreams and goals.

So many of us feel as though we are stuck in a rut, but that's not true at all. All you have to do is stop looking for excuses and start getting on with your life. It's important to remember that even when you feel as though you are making the right decisions, that you can still make mistakes.

You do not need to keep repeating things over again to get over a single hurdle. Instead, it is important to make a fresh start at each stage of your life.

Avoiding the future is important because we tend to focus on what may be gone tomorrow, instead of what will happen tomorrow. If we get stuck in the past and focus on the past, we can become paralyzed from fear. This paralyzing fear is usually what causes all of our excuses. The fear of failure leads to more excuses.

One way to overcome the fear of failure is to talk about your past mistakes and failures, and to look at the consequences of your actions. Don't blame the circumstances, but instead focus on the decisions you made.


Avoid the fear of failure will begin to take root in your life. Remember that even the worst circumstances can be turned around, if you continue to make the right ones. Remember to forgive the past, and move forward with confidence.
