Stop Making Excuses. Stop Waiting. It’s Time to Move

Let’s call it what it is:

Some people make excuses for everything—and then stand there scratching their heads, asking, “Why isn’t anything happening for me?”

The answer is simple: because you’re not moving.

Excuses don’t move mountains. Excuses don’t open doors. Excuses don’t put food on the table or bring your dreams to life. They keep you stuck, and worse, they make you feel justified about being stuck.

But let’s take it further.

Some of you aren’t just stuck because of your own excuses—you’re stuck because of people.

The ones who hold you back on purpose. The ones who have what you need but purposely delay it—out of control, out of pride, out of fear.

You know exactly who I’m talking about.

And then there are the spotlight hogs.

Those who love being the center of attention so much that the idea of you shining terrifies them. They’ll stall you, block you, or slow you down—not because you can’t do it, but because they know you’ll do it better.

And let me tell you—when this comes from the people you least expect? That’s when it really stings. That’s when reality hits you in the gut: not everyone who claps for you is on your side.

But here’s the good news: you don’t need their permission.

If they delay you, work around them.

If they hold you back, break through.

If they fear your light, then shine so bright it blinds them.

Stop waiting for the perfect timing. Stop waiting for someone to hand you the spotlight. Get up. Roll up your sleeves. Take it.

This is your wake-up call:

• No more excuses.
• No more delays.
• No more playing small.

You already know what you need to do. So do it.

Because success doesn’t come to the ones who wait politely. It comes to the ones who decide, “Enough is enough. I’m going to make it happen.”

Here’s your one-liner to remember:

“Stop asking why nothing’s happening — and start being the reason something does.”
