The moment you let someone else’s opinion define you, you’ve given away your power. Feeling small doesn’t come from their words—it comes from your agreement with them. Conviction means cutting off that agreement and standing firm in who you are. When you stop handing out permission slips for people to decide your worth, your belief in yourself becomes unshakable. Where in your life have you been giving away your power to someone else’s opinion?

Excuses are just pretty lies you tell yourself so you can stay comfortable while your dreams collect dust. You can keep proving why life’s unfair, or you can shut up and do the work that changes it. Being “right” won’t pay your bills or build your future—it just feeds your pride while starving your potential. The second you ditch that crap and choose action over ego, you start stacking wins instead of regrets. Stop babysitting your bullshit and replace it with moves that actually matter. What bullshit are you still holding onto that’s keeping you broke—in money, joy, or peace?

Stop drowning in a pile of excuses and busywork—it’s killing your power. You don’t need 20 half-assed moves; you need one bold step that actually changes the damn game. The truth is, your excuses aren’t protecting you, they’re robbing you blind. You can’t keep holding onto your bullshit and expect life to hand you a breakthrough. Kill the excuse, grab the one thing that matters, and go all in. That’s how you take back control and step into the power that’s been sitting there waiting for you. What’s the one excuse you can drop right now that would blow the door open to your next level?
