The brutal truth is that not everyone is cut out to obtain the success that they dream about. In some cases they may have unrealistic expectations and in other cases they just don’t remain focused and committed to their dream. Setbacks are commonplace and may require adjustments in the plan but success still can be achieved.
On your path to success results are what matter the most. Assessing the past is important, but often people drift into the blame game or make excuses for their shortcomings as they consider past experiences. You should only carry forward the lessons that you learned and not dwell on uncomfortable or embarrassing past performance.
Three critical factors separate those with excuses from those with results:
Are you on the path and committed to achieving your success?
Are you making excuses or getting results?

Excuses are a symptom of fear of taking responsibility for what unfolds before you as a result of the conscious or unconscious choices you've made.
Great thoughts! Fear definitely conditions our moves and our results. We may give excuses to our boss, or to ourselves. Of course, fear typically brings forward the thought of risk. What are you willing to risk? Or perhaps, what level of risk are you willing to take?
