Excuses Begone! How to Change Lifelong, Self-defeating Thinking Habits by Wayne Dyer






End the blame game once and for all.  Begin to see all of your personal traits and the conditions you experience as choices rather than factors that came about because of some external circumstances.    Be willing to say these words and mean them: “I’m the product of all of the choices I’ve made in my life.  I have no one to blame for anything that isn’t going the way I’d like it to go, including myself.




Every self-limiting thought that you employ to explain why you're not living life to the absolute fullest -- so you're feeling purposeful, content, and fully alive -- is something you can challenge and reverse, regardless of how long you've held that belief and no matter how rooted in tradition, science, or life experience it may be.




Simply being cognizant of your excuse making will open you up to the vast arenas of new possibilities.




All excuses are avoidance techniques to keep you from taking charge.




Our relationship to the present moment defines our relationship to life itself.




Am I willing to shed all unwillingness?




The payoffs for having a blank unwillingness sheet are monumental.  The biggest and most basic one is that you have no excuses to fall back on when you're explaining what's missing in your life; there's nothing to find fault with and no one to blame.
