Staying on the Most Direct Route

Designing a passionate life and creating life balance is a journey and like any journey is much faster if you go in a straight line from point A to point B. I'm sure that you have experienced that life doesn't always work that way. The route to destination

B may veer off in different directions and sometimes for very good reasons. However, as you move forward you will eventually reach your destination if you are clear about what it looks like, stay focused on the end point, and consistently take action.

But what often can happen is that you get distracted. Distractions come in many forms and they are simply excuses for not taking action. Some are conscious decisions and others are unconscious so you don't even recognize when you let distractions veer you off of your target point. Excuses are the easiest distractions to detect. There are a number of very commonly used excuses. See if you can relate to any of these:

• I don't have time
• I don't have the energy
• I don't have the money
• I don't know what to do
• I don't know what I want to do
• I'm too old
• I'm too young
• I'm not smart enough

Any of these sound familiar to you? What excuses do you use veer you off course and to stop yourself from taking action? They are simply distractions and many times they are covering up unconscious beliefs about yourself, but that's a topic for another blog post. The first thing that you can do is to notice what you say and what you do when you don't take action. Simply notice it and make a list of when it happens. See if you can spot a pattern as to when you use excuses. You never know what you will discover. Start eliminating the excuses and make stay on the most direct route to your destination.
