   The acceptance of complete responsibility, the giving up of all your excuses, is not easy. It’s one of the hardest things you ever attempt. That’s why most people never do it. When you desire success with the same intensity that you desire to breathe, then nothing will stop you from getting it. The only thing that stands inbetween you and your big dreams are the excuses you keep bringing up for not achieving. If you see yourself now as you wish to be, and you walk, talk, and behave as the very best person you can imagine yourself being, your dominant thoughts and goals will materialize as your reality.
