I can’t, you can’t, who can’t …
What’s that? What can’t you do? How many times have you heard that? I don’t buy it (most of the time). It’s all about risk and reward. How much do you really want it? This is stopping me, that’s stopping me. In most cases, why should it stop you? No one really wants to take a risk, no one really likes change but if you want it bad enough, you’ll go for it. Each and everyone of use are capable of doing whatever we want.
Break it down. On first glance, there are so many things in our lives that seem absolutely impossible. Give it a chance … sit down and take a real look at it. If you’re on an emotional high, cool off a bit and don’t worry. Break it down, figure out what the goal is, lay out all the steps into pieces you can chew, then decide if you can do it.
Focus hard. I want to get into UVic. Damn, messed up my exam again. I’ll study harder. Let’s party instead; let’s have fun. See a pattern? There’s a right time in life for everything. I can’t do blah blah blah at work - I don’t have the skills. There’s always something better, there’s always something to distract you, it’s up to you to filter it out and focus. Yet your priorities straight. You’ve got 40+ years ahead of you. Just try to balance things out and have a little fun 
A lot of the times, some of the excuses we come up with are really are just that. If that’s the case, what are you waiting for? Get with the program. The time to do it is when you’re young and you don’t have any responsibilities to other people.
