Your Excuses Are Creating Your Reality

Published 2025-04-18 16-34

Summary

Caught myself repeating excuses for not changing. Realized our personal stories shape our reality. My book “The Journey” explores how small habits and challenging assumptions create transformation.

The story

Yesterday I caught myself telling the same old story about why I couldn’t make a change in my life. Then it hit me: these stories we tell ourselves become our reality.

This was exactly why I wrote “The Journey” – because at 21, I was trapped in beliefs I didn’t even know were holding me back.

The biggest thing I’ve learned is that transformation happens in small daily habits no one sees – reading for 20 minutes, questioning old assumptions, writing down thoughts.

What shocked me most was how much I needed to unlearn. Ideas I once thought were absolute truths were actually limiting me. Growth meant being brave enough to let them go.

When I stopped seeing failures as signs to quit and started seeing them as feedback, everything changed. The obstacle became the way forward.

If there’s one thing I want you to take from my book, it’s this: persistence beats everything. Taking action, especially when motivation fades, is what separates those who change their lives from those who just dream about it.

Your journey to leveling up starts with noticing the stories you’re telling yourself right now. What if they could change?
