15 Motivational
Quotes to Stop
Making Excuses
By Lydia Sweatt | March 23, 2017 | 0 !

Before you make your next excuse, ask


yourself this: What can I do to improve?

Be honest with yourself about what you can


do better, and you can free yourself of the
blame and the denial that is sure to hold
you back. Take responsibility for your
actions, and you can live an incredible life of
integrity. Make time to create positive
momentum, and you will keep moving
forward.
