Inspirational Quote

Things to delete from your life: excuses, fear, and negativity. -Unknown

In life, there are things we need to add and things we need to remove.  We need to add positivity and remove negativity.  Today’s quote reminds us of things that we should delete from our lives.  Excuses, fear, and negativity are all things that can hold us back from achieving our dreams in life.  As an ASVAB tutor, I notice some of my students have these different characteristics.  Some make excuses as to why they cannot study for the test.  Excuses I hear include:

I don’t have time

The test is too hard.

I am getting too old to enlist.

Some show signs of fear.

Examples of fear include:

I am afraid to take the test again.  I don’t want to fail again.

I don’t think I can handle basic training or boot camp.

Some face their situation with negativity.

Examples of negativity include:

I am too dumb to pass this test.

I don’t think I will ever make it.

I can’t lose the weight I need to lose.

The best thing they can do is delete all that is holding them back.

Delete excuses, fear, and negativity.

Replace them with a plan, with courage, and with positivity.

Rise up to life’s challenges and overcome.
