When you are serious about a goal, things like lack of money, lack of time, lack of connections, lack of talent, are all excuses; you would figure out how to get the money even if it temporarily involves work you couldn't care less about; you would figure out how to make more
@orangebook_ When you really want something, you don’t wait for it. You find a way. Money, time, friends, skills. all can be made if the goal matters enough.
@orangebook_ True. Munger said—take a simple idea and take it seriously. Serious goals demand sacrifice. Excuses fade when the desire is real. You adapt, you pay the price, and you grow into the person who can achieve it.
@orangebook_ đź’Ż You Put your heritage, pride etc aside and do what you got a do. Not what you want to do
@orangebook_ Brian Tracy's Goal Setting Method: List down all the things you want to achieve in the next 12 months. Now ask yourself: If I could have any ONE of those goals in the next 24 hours, which would have the most impact in my life? That is your singular long-term goal. Focus.
@orangebook_ What if focusing so intensely on “figuring it all out” actually slows progress more than any excuse? Sometimes stepping back, allowing space for creativity, or letting unexpected opportunities guide you can lead to better results than pushing nonstop could balance be the real
@orangebook_ you're right. when you want something bad enough, nothing can stop you.
@orangebook_ When it’s real, you don’t wait for the right conditions, you create them.
@orangebook_ If the goal is real, you don’t negotiate with circumstance. You sacrifice hobbies. You abandon comfort. You become unrecognizable. Because when it’s truly time? Excuses don’t sound like reasons anymore— They sound like chains. And a man on fire doesn’t ask for better weather.
@orangebook_ If you really wanted to be healthy, you would figure out a way.
@orangebook_ When something really matters to you, obstacles become puzzles to solve instead of walls that stop you. People who achieve their goals don't have fewer problems or better starting conditions. They just refuse to let anything become a permanent roadblock. The sacrifices and
@orangebook_ When you're truly serious about a goal, your internal question shifts from if to how. All the excuses time, money, connections are just the mind's way of endlessly debating if it's possible. A deep commitment settles that question, freeing up all your mental energy to focus on
@orangebook_ When the goal is real, excuses lose their power. Commitment turns obstacles into temporary detours, not dead ends.
@orangebook_ This is perfect example of, if you already had the thing, how would you act.
@orangebook_ The drive to achieve pushes you to find solutions, no matter how uncomfortable the path.
@orangebook_ When the goal is serious, excuses vanish and resourcefulness kicks in. True commitment means bending circumstances, not waiting for perfect conditions. Sacrifices, hard work, and persistence aren’t optional—they’re the only way forward.
@orangebook_ When you truly want something, you find a way no matter the obstacles. Every sacrifice, every extra hour, every hard choice is just a step closer to the life you want.
@orangebook_ Bottom line: when there's a will, there's a way
@orangebook_ no shortcuts, just uphill all the way
@orangebook_ excuses are just comfy blankets for the unambitious
@orangebook_ “If it matters enough, you’ll find a way. If it doesn’t, you’ll find an excuse.”
@orangebook_ Excuses are just comfort disguised as truth. Every man without money, time, or talent has still carved his way forward, because necessity burned hotter than fear. Sacrifice is the price, discomfort is the teacher, and persistence is the weapon. The world only yields to those
@orangebook_ Or most people just aren’t serious enough and hide behind excuses to feel comfortable. Hard truth: effort separates dreamers from doers.
@orangebook_ We're fast to give excuses as humans so we can feel good. I was giving excuses but had to tell myself the truth one day. In fact, it was an insult that pushed me. My lecturer would always say, "Excuses will not take you far in life." Take responsibility for your actions. Tell
