We tend to have lots of excuses: I don’t have time, I don’t have enough money, it’s too hard, I’m too old, I’m too young…. Excuses are a great way to avoid doing something you ‘ought’ to do, or having something you really (deep down inside) don’t think you deserve. Human beings tend to focus on the negative (I need to lose weight, I’ll never have enough money, there’s not enough time, etc.) rather than on the positive (I want to be healthy, I deserve this, I can make time for it). Since we tend to attract what we think, is it any wonder that most people are unhappy?
