Turning The Pain of Excuses into The Seeds of Greatness

Written by Robin Sharma

I posted this piece on my Facebook page the other day and within hours it had over 45,000 likes.

It’s clearly touched something deep in a lot of people–and fueled a wealth of inspiration within them.

The main insight from the post: the instant we drop our excuses is the moment we enjoy freedom from pain…

…because potential unexpressed and dreams left undone are what cause the regret that powers all suffering.

In my ongoing devotion to be an instrument of service to you, I wanted to share the piece…I called it Turning The Pain of Excuses into The Seeds of Your Greatness…

Here you go…

“Why make excuses when you can start your dreams?

Why do nothing when you can begin something?…

Look, you know you have a lot more power within you than you’re revealing to the world. We ALL do.

But because of the distractions and interruptions and responsibility and excuses we sell to ourselves, we coast along–at the same level–for the best years of our lives.

Only a few have the guts to make A LEAP…

…a leap into new habits, new routines and a whole new story about their place in the world–and their service to it.

The Gandhis and Mandelas and Zuckerbergs and Mozarts were just ordinary people who had an idea, protected it from the voices of dissent, advanced it daily via tiny wins and got up every time they got knocked down.

YOU have this power too. But power unused deteriorates. And potential unexpressed turns to PAIN.

Now’s your time to fly and to shine and to rise up. This is your day to show all the world who you truly are.”
