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.
