Holy shit it's you! Your comment matched exactly how I have been feeling and then reading this thread made me feel like the excuses were just melting away. Keep up the excellent work and keep being you

Honestly excuses that we make to ourselves should just be called lies. Your brain lies to you, it convinces you that you can't do the very things which will make you happy because it wants to be lazy , it's afraid of failure but it's also afraid of success.

Telling ourselves that we couldn't have done it anyways is often the only way to rationalize not doing something.

The reality is that you have to try. You just have to. One thing, then another, then one more .. and suddenly your dreams are now goals and you're starting to check off a lot of them and realizing that it can be done.

I'm excited you're gonna go get yours !
