It’s easier to do nothing and tell yourself that it will never work out than to attempt something and find out.

Have you ever been in a situation where you see an attractive girl from a distance but not making an attempt to approach her because of fear of rejection?

Have you ever wanted to ask for a raise but ended up not doing it due to fear of failure?

Our brain is really powerful. It could work in your favor or it could work against you. When we make excuses frequently, we will have a higher tendency of making excuses more than taking action. In contrast, when we take action more often, we will have a higher chance to stop making excuses.
