Trading Truth for Comfort

from Productive Not Busy Podcast · host Wayne Weathersby

What's the biggest thing holding folks back? I'm going to tell you a straight truth. It's not money. It's not time. And it's not talent. It's excuses! Good old-fashioned well-dressed lies we tell ourselves so we can sleep at night instead of showing up in the morning. Let me say it like this excuses are where you trade your truth for temporary comfort and the problem with comfort is it's never made anybody a legend! You see most folks don't fail because they tried and lost. They fail because they never started. They never picked up the phone. They never blocked out the time. And they never face themselves in the mirror. And I get it excuses. Feel good in the moment. They wrap around you like a warm blanket on a cold morning. But eventually they become the chains that keep you from where you want to be.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/productive-not-busy-podcast--6261465/support. Subscribe today and join a community that’s growing stronger every week.
