There are many obstacles that must be averted in order to keep you moving forward. One is the power of justification.

Justification is the action of showing something to be right or reasonable.

Now it's very tempting for justifications to occur on Monday.

Getting to work late. (Traffic)
Missing a doctor's appointment. (Unorganized)
Forgetting something for the kiddos at school. (Forgetful)

And we've all had them. Plus, justifications benefit us because we are giving a reason that something is right.

And with any benefit, you continue to do it because it ADDS to what you get out of it. It's positive!

Most of what is needed though to keep moving forward when obstacles present themselves. You gotta SUBTRACT!

Justification builds confidence in your limitations.

Justification discounts your dreams.

The thing is... You've got to look at what you need to eliminate, so your obstacles don't become your boundaries that put you in a constant state of limitations.

A limited mind-set only holds you back from your purpose.

So in order to move forward, you must declare your direction.

The K.I.S.S. ~ Declare your direction!

Of course, you can keep living amongst your limitations, but that will hold your dreams at bay.

Instead speak life into your day and declare your direction.

Stop complaining. Anytime you complain, you are adding fuel to your excuses.
Look at your obstacle head-on. This allows you the opportunity to see what is possible when the impossible is right in front of you.
Declare where you are going. It's the ONE step.

Today, I challenge you to look at your obstacles with the eyes of opportunity, instead of the justification of failure and defeat.

For example: Let's say you burn dinner. You are making scrumptious chicken but you burn it. Instead of saying that you got distracted or forgot to set the timer, see the opportunity.
