Just because You didn't do something before doesn't mean You can't do it. You do it for Yourself and for Your loved ones. It can be hard but not impossible. And You will be amazed after You will start living according to Your best interests , achieving Your goals and dreams one step at a time what person You'll become. You need to cultivate optimism . Or do You want to live in doubt for the rest of Your days what You could do and didn't do? So yes of course You need to get rid of all excuses .. and become a person God wants You to be. God is willing to give all You need You just have to take it. Thank You Denzel Washington .. if I would be a fighter in a boxing ring and my trainer would speak as You do, I would win all the time.
