A lot of people like to make excuses.  Often we make excuses and don't even know it. For example if you are blaming the market or the economy for your poor sales performance - THAT IS AN EXCUSE!

We make the choice whether to have a productive day or not. It's all up to you. I am not immune to times of pointing my fingers at something other than me.  Thus I have learned that I need a reminder that I have a choice to do what I need to do. 

Here is another part of the daily declaration that I say that serves as a great reminder:

"Instead of using my energy to make excuses I chose to use my energy to make progress. I was not born a winner or loser, but rather a Chooser, thus I chose to win daily.  I will not be broken by adversity but rather I will use adversity to help me break records. I know that within any pain lies hidden power and harnessed power can be used to create profits. Trouble never comes to a woman or man unless she brings a nugget of gold in her hand. I may look like a caterpillar, but I see myself as a butterfly flowing freely through the sky."

So are you choosing to win today?  Or would you rather make excuses?  Sure there might be some adversity to overcome.  But adversity is good because it can be an opportunity for tremendous breakthrough! It's up to you!  You HAVE THE POWER within you to overcome, win and transform into the person you were created to be!

 BE who you were created to BE!
