These are all the things that I have told myself I want to do and the excuses I have told myself to keep them from happening. I need a reality check.
I want to...
run a sub-4 hour marathon
I cannot run that fast
training would be a lot more intense
I would have to give up somethings from my social life
live in another country
give up some things in my life right now
figure out how to afford it
would miss out on family things
move to Colorado or California
make a career move
abandon things in daily life
uproot my life
leave people
climb Mt.Everest
it is expensive
I don't know how to climb
I have always said "in another life"
change careers
I would have to know what I want to do
go back to school or figure out how to get experience
teach people about health
go back to school
learn how to build a successful online business
there are so many people out there doing this, it is crowded
who would listen to me?
start my own business
I don't know what to do
who would support me?
how do I start?
learn to invest
I don't want to lose money
fall in love
I don't want to throw away my plans because of some guy
I will never be treated right
I will never be someones forever
This is a list of excuses I have told myself over and over again. I have been stopping myself from following my dreams for years. I have been putting my best life on hold for too long. I'm done. I cannot keep doing this to myself, complaining everyday, happy but not deeply happy. I need to put myself into my dreams or my life will always be mediocre.
