Reflection on Today's Quote
Let’s be honest—we’re all great storytellers. Not the publish-a-novel kind, but the internal monologue kind. You know, those dramatic little scripts that play in your head like, “I’m too old,” or “I’m not qualified,” or the award-winning classic, “What if I fail and everyone laughs?”
That voice? It’s not truth. It’s just noise.
And weirdly, we start to believe it. Not because it’s right, but because we repeat it so often, it starts to sound like fact. Like muscle memory—but for excuses.
But here’s the truth no one likes to say out loud: that goal you keep tiptoeing around isn’t blocked by money, or time, or talent. It’s blocked by the made-up reasons you’ve been rehearsing like it’s your job. You’re not trapped. You’re just stuck inside a story you’ve outgrown.
So rewrite it.
Swap “I can’t” with “Let’s see what happens.” Trade “Not good enough” for “Still learning.” That voice in your head? Fire it. Hire a new one who believes in you—even if it’s just a whisper at first.
The hardest part of any goal isn’t doing it. It’s convincing yourself you’re allowed to try.
And you are.
Step Up To The Challenge
Catch yourself mid-excuse. The next time your brain says, “I can’t because…”, pause. Say out loud: “That’s just a story. What’s the truth?”
Then take one small action toward the thing you say you want. No overthinking. No waiting for confidence. Just start. (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
