Excuses Why You Can't Do Anything

Life is a real challenge when you have so many things to do in a day. What makes it worse is when you hear those negative voices ringing in our head, making excuses why you can't do things or get motivated.

What would you think if you heard someone speaking out loud those exact negative words that rattle around in your head making up excuses why:

• you can't get out of bed
• you can't go to school - YAY!!!   
• you can't go to work
• you can't go for a walk
• you can't do this
• you can't do that
• blah! blah! blah! blah!!!

You know what I'm talking about.

How can you get motivated just to get out of bed and do just the simple things that need to be done in your day?

How would you feel if you were confined in a wheelchair? You had a motor vehicle accident and you were told you are paralysed. How would you feel? We don't normally think about this, but just imagine how frustrated you would feel when:

• you can't walk
• you can't run
• you can't go out like you used to
• you can't get into your favorite fast food outlet or cinema because they don't have wheelchair access
• you can't go to school because it doesn't have wheelchair access - Yay!!!
• you can't work in your job any more because the work place environment isn't wheelchair friendly

This would be a good reason to come up with excuses why you can't do anything at all.

Here is a video that will help you reflect on your life, when hearing all the excuses in the world not to do anything.

Conclusion
Doesn't it sound awful when you hear someone rattling off all the excuses in the world that everyone has to listen to in their heads.

Lets turn that around in a positive way and think about what more you can do in your life and how you can help others enjoy life to the full.

Don't just give a thought for people with disabilities. Do something about it. Give some of your time and or financial support to help people with disabilities enjoy a qood quality of life.

As I always say: Don't think about it, just do it.
