Episode 3800:

Tyler Tervooren shares two powerful true stories of individuals who overcame extreme odds by refusing to make excuses, an 11-year-old Ugandan boy who risked everything for an education and a Detroit man who walked 21 miles daily to keep his job. These examples underscore how taking full responsibility, rather than blaming external factors, boosts motivation, resilience, and long-term success.

Read along with the original article(s) here: https://www.riskology.co/making-excuses/

Quotes to ponder:

"Making excuses now has a cascading effect on how you behave in the future."

"When you ask yourself those questions, you feel like you’re still in control of your destiny."

"If you focus on the story you can’t control, you’ll spiral towards failure. But if you focus on the story you can, you’ll spiral towards success."
