(Napoleon Hill, Think and Grow Rich “57 Famous Alibis”)
Alibis are the contrary and misappropriated use of your imagination rather than out of habit to use your mind, creative thinking and imagination to consider the possibilities before you.
“The first and best victory is to conquer self. To be conquered by self is, of all things, the most shameful and vile,” Plato.
Instead of accepting excuse, address the excuses, be ready to have thought response (P-MAR) of overcoming them and standing up to them.
Don’t let life pass you by because of excuses. Choose habitually to think possibilities and when you do, you embrace them.
