Podcasts about excuses

Jesse Itzler believes the key to goal setting is in the Misogi Challenge. Jesse's Misogi Challenge is one big, audacious goal that you accomplish during each year. For example, Jesse's one big goal for 2025 is to run 2025 miles. Every day, that's the major goal. Sure, he does the things he has to for work and play, but his Misogi goal is always top of mind. 2025 was the first year I tried Jesse's challenge. My Misogi Challenge was to focus on optimum brain health.  And I have to admit…focusing on the one big goal got me super focused, which is why I believe this all seems to be working for me. Jesse states that to do this properly, your Misogi Challenge goal needs to be three things. 1. It should really push the limit. 2. It should scare you a little bit. 3. It should be for you…not anyone else. What should your Misogi Challenge be for 2025? Need help?

Social media is mirroring our mess.

So, apparently all it takes is four emails telling me you liked the solo episode for me to get back on the mic - here we are. Today's episode is short, slightly chaotic, and all about the difference between suffering and hard work. Big topic, big feelings, but don't worry, it's under 13 minutes and I manage to spiral only once or twice. If you've ever found yourself pushing through something just because that's what you were taught to do, this one's for you. Lets dive right in.Highlights: (00:40) Only took four compliments to get me back(02:05) Suffering vs. hard work - know the difference(04:48) You can literally choose discomfort.

Excuses, Excuses, Excuses - Pastor Zac Nazarian

What happens when you're raised in chaos, start drinking heavily at 13 whilst navigating autism, dyslexia, dyspraxia, ADD & PTSD, plus wanting to get sober before you're legally allowed to drink then stopping at 18?! I sit down with actress, dancer and reiki healer Scarlett Alice, who opens up about growing up with two parents addicted to alcohol and drugs, the trauma that shaped her and the moment she chose sobriety at just 18. Then comes the flip - her parents enter recovery and give her the inspiration to join them on the path to joy and serenity! 12 years later she's still sober and strong. Her story is brave, emotional, and proof that it's possible to rewrite the script — no matter how it starts. Scarlett shares what it felt like growing up in a household that looked perfect on the outside but was riddled with dysfunction behind closed doors. We talk about being a kid who could sense addiction before she even understood it, and how that shaped her early need for escape and intensity. She shares her earliest drinking memories — from getting drunk on trampolines at 13 to blacking out in nightclubs by 17 — and what finally pushed her to make a decision most people wouldn't at any age - let alone as a teenager. Scarlett doesn't glorify addiction — she talks about the coldness, the shame, the emptiness, and why it's never just about the substance. It's about the feeling underneath that needs soothing and how hard it is to let go of something that once made you feel safe — even when it's killing you.We get into how getting sober isn't the end of fun — it's actually the beginning. Scarlett shares how she handles awkward questions at parties, how she deals with FOMO and what sober dating really looks like when everyone else is still romanticising chaos. She gives practical advice on coping without numbing, how to spot when a ‘treat' is actually a trap and why not all recovery paths look the same. Whether it's the sober-curious movement, microdosing mushrooms or complete abstinence, Scarlett believes recovery should be flexible, honest and rooted in self-awareness. Her advice for young people is honest, unpatronising and grounded in lived experience. Scarlett is warm, funny, unapologetically honest and says the quiet parts out loud.

HAPPY MONDAY MOTIVATION! Welcome back to another episode of No More Excuses! In today's episode, I talk about how marketing isn't optional if you want to grow your business. If people don't know you exist, they can't hire you, refer you, or support you. Yet many business owners hide behind excuses: “I don't have time,” “I'm not good at social media,” or “I don't know what to post.” Those are choices, not facts. EXCUSES not reasons! Here are 3 ways to start marketing in a way that actually moves the needle: Show up consistently. Visibility is currency. Pick one platform where your audience is, and commit to posting regularly—tips, behind-the-scenes, or client wins. Educate, don't just sell. Share your knowledge, answer FAQs, and post stories of client wins to build trust and credibility. Ask for engagement. Don't talk at your audience—invite them to comment, vote, or DM you. Conversations build relationships, which lead to sales. My CHALLENGE to you today: Start with ONE of these actions this week. Remember, marketing doesn't have to be complicated—it just needs to be consistent and authentic. Report back or email me at Sandi@SandiBallard.com and tell me what you are focusing on and how! No more excuses!

Excuses - Chase Holsomback - 07/13/2025 by Chase Holsomback

What if the very thing blocking your breakthrough is your disobedience? In this powerful message, Pastor Kristyn Rempel dives into one of the strangest passages in Exodus — when God almost kills Moses — to show how obedience is often painful, inconvenient, and misunderstood… but essential. From spiritual warfare to pruning and resistance, this sermon challenges you to release what you're holding back and step fully into the life God's called you to. Your miracle might be waiting on your "yes."SUBCRIBE: https://www.youtube.com/@2911Church?sub_confirmation=1FOLLOW: https://www.instagram.com/2911church/?hl=enLISTEN: https://pod.link/1456498714LEARN MORE: https://www.2911church.com/SUPPORT: https://2911church.churchcenter.com/givingJoin us live every week from 2911 Church in Tempe, AZ as we worship together, hear powerful teaching, and grow in faith as a community.

Mego says the Red Sox are out of excuses not to spend heavily at deadline

Finding a balance between taking responsibility for our lives and taking too much responsibility for what is going on is a tricky matter. Taking too much responsibility may seem like a silly notion, but it can happen in many ways. One of these ways is when we refuse to allow ourselves grace or forgiveness. We recognize that we have made a mistake and then, whether consciously or unconsciously, we decide that we are not allowed to get past it. As part of our penance we beat ourselves up, thinking it will lead to us making better choices in the future. When we think about the context of the mistake we think, "That is just an excuse. I should have done better!" It is possible for us to know that we could have done better AND to recognize the context at the same time. We aren't making an excuse when we do this, but we are giving an explanation. In this week's podcast, I explore the difference between excuses and explanations. Understanding the key difference between the two will help to find a path that includes both taking responsibility and offering ourselves grace. Not understanding the difference will keep us stuck.

Ever wondered why some people effortlessly manifest dreams into reality while others stay stuck? Take billionaire Richard Branson. When stranded in an airport facing a cancelled flight, he didn't sulk; he saw an opportunity and seized it. He didn't pretend his wish was fulfilled.Because he IMAGINED an opportunity - from his UNSTOPPABLE identiy.You can pretend all day, but pretending never made anyone great. Have you ever noticed that? Maybe you did something like I did…When I was just a tiny, itty-bitty Mr 2020, my name was John, and I pretended to be an astronaut. Spoiler alert: I never flew into space and I never walked on the moon.Later, I pretended to be a policeman. And guess what? I actually became one. I didn't become a cop because I was pretending to be a policeman at age six. I became one because I began seeing the world like a policeman does. I started hanging out with them, asking questions, and catching how they perceived life.Manifesting is all about perception, not pretending.Now, let's talk about Richard Branson. Today he owns an island.Today, he is a billionaire.But back in his mid 20s….Picture this: Branson is stranded at a Puerto Rican airport, dying to reach a babe on the beach in the Virgin Islands. The announcement comes: "Flight cancelled." Now, most folks slump back into their seats, whining and moaning. But not Richard Branson.He didn't just refuse to sit in the shit; he literally couldn't. His identity, how his identity percieved  the world wouldn't allow it. He saw opportunity instead of obstacles.Branson marched up to an FSBO…A fancy airport term for private flight operators and asked, "Hey, what's it gonna cost me to fly me there, right now?" The answer was something crazy like $2,000 or 4,000, way above what he could afford then. Did Branson give up? Hell no.Because of his IDENTITY, he grabbed chunk of cardboard, and made a sign.He scribbled something bold like, "One-way flight to Virgin Islands, $39 bucks. Welcome to Virgin Airlines!" Guess what? He filled that plane and, boom, Virgin Airlines was born.He wasn't pretending to be successful. He wasn't acting as if.He saw himself as the guy who makes shit happen. Branson didn't have time for excuses. The dude saw possibilities, endless opportunities.Here's your gut-check: How often do you settle for shit town make excuses? How often could you start strutting into possibilities? Because every single moment you sit in Shit Town making excuses, can't possibly even dream of excellence.Branson didn't go into a trance and make mind movies….He didn't come up with the perfect affirmation…He didn't ned the planets to align with his Grabovi numbers…He used the sacred fire of Imagination.Neville Goddard called the imagination Jesus Christ, within you.And that's exactly why pretending doesn't work.Pretending doesn't activate your INNER FIRE!You can only ignite it by SEEING as the person - who has their wishes fulfilled.By becoming the kind of person who literally can't sit still in the Shit Town of excuses.Pretend and play with sticky tapes….Or change your identity  and become unstoppable. It's simple, and it's easy.But only if you drop the bullshit that tells you otherwise.Visit me at MrTwentyTwenty.com. Drop me a note.Invest in you. Because here's the deal…If you don't believe in you and invest in your dreams today….You never will.You can make excuses or you can make millions.Dive deeper.

What happens to your big goals when life throws you curveballs? In this episode, I break down what Allen Iverson's infamous “practice” rant can teach us about the journey to mastery—especially when personal challenges threaten to knock us off course. Learn how showing up, even in tough times, is the true path to excellence in both business and life.Here are 3 Key Takeaways:1. Context Shapes Commitment: When life hits hard—loss, stress, or personal challenges—it's tempting to put your craft on hold. But mastery demands you understand the context and still show up. Excuses are easy; showing up consistently is what sets the masters apart.2. How You Practice Is How You Play: Whether on the court or in business, your level of effort in the unglamorous “practice” moments sets the tone for real results. Giving less than your all in preparation means you'll come up short in high-pressure situations that matter most.3. The Power of the Five Ones: Cut the overwhelm and amplify results with the “Five Ones” framework—one ideal client, one offer, one traffic source, one conversion method, and a one-year commitment. Focus and repetition, combined with community support, are the keys to moving from average to extraordinary.

Today, we move into the fourth episode of a series on quotes that coaches should NOT use in their own personal development or with their teams. Today we continue to cover some quotes that start with or are dominated by the pronouns "I," "me," or "my." Last week, the quotes focused on the concept that, "It's not about YOU, coach!" This week, I focus on two statements that end up being excuses for coaches to fall back on and then a bonus "I" statement that I hope none of you are ever saying!Speaking of excuses, coach, there is no excuse for you to NOT send in a statement or two that you have heard or used that you know we should not be using as coaches! Please email me with them at scott@slamdunksuccess.com. The more we can get out there for coaches to be aware of, the better off we will all be.For more information to help you on your road to becoming your best, check us out at SlamDunkSuccess.com or email me at scott@slamdunksuccess.com.As always, our background music is "Dance in the Sun" by Krisztian Vass.

Lessons From Legends Series: Burn Your Excuses | Pastor Vinnie Trivelli by Connect Church

We all hit seasons where nothing makes sense—where it feels like God is silent, progress has stalled, and hope is drying up. In this powerful message, Pastor Mark Rempel unpacks Moses's 40 years in the desert and the truth we often forget: God does some of His deepest work in the quietest places. If you've ever felt stuck, delayed, or overlooked, this message will remind you—you're not abandoned, you're being prepared.SUBCRIBE: https://www.youtube.com/@2911Church?sub_confirmation=1FOLLOW: https://www.instagram.com/2911church/?hl=enLISTEN: https://pod.link/1456498714LEARN MORE: https://www.2911church.com/SUPPORT: https://2911church.churchcenter.com/givingJoin us live every week from 2911 Church in Tempe, AZ as we worship together, hear powerful teaching, and grow in faith as a community.

Trudi talks about our excuses and the places they lead and the place they keep us from.

In this episode of the Jewish Inspiration Podcast, Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe continues his study of Orchos Tzadikim (Ways of the Righteous), concluding the chapter on laziness. Drawing from King Solomon's wisdom in Proverbs, Rabbi Wolbe highlights the pitfalls of laziness, particularly in failing to seek or maintain friendships with wise and God-fearing individuals, which he deems the epitome of laziness. He uses the metaphor of the ant, which tirelessly gathers over a thousand kernels of food it doesn't need, to contrast with the lazy person's endless excuses, such as fearing "lions in the streets" to avoid Torah study or good deeds. Rabbi Wolbe emphasizes the need for balance, noting that while excessive laziness is detrimental, strategic laziness—such as avoiding evil pursuits or working on Shabbos—can be virtuous. He encourages listeners to be eager in pursuing Torah, mitzvot, and positive influences, while being "lazy" about negative actions like slander, envy, or frequenting inappropriate places. Rabbi Wolbe shares a personal strategy inspired by his grandfather, who used his love for Mussar study to motivate Talmud study, illustrating how one can leverage enthusiasm for enjoyable tasks to accomplish less appealing ones. He recounts a story of agreeing to pick up a friend at 1:30 a.m., viewing it as a divine test of willingness to act, even when the task was ultimately unnecessary. The episode concludes with a call to overcome laziness by proactively pursuing good deeds and Torah study, using modern tools like YouTube and podcasts to access Torah effortlessly, and strategically applying laziness to avoid harmful influences, thereby aligning with God's will.Recorded at TORCH Centre in the Levin Family Studios (B) to a live audience on March 3, 2025, in Houston, Texas.Released as Podcast on July 3, 2025_____________This series on Orchos Tzadikim/Ways of the Righteous is produced in partnership with Hachzek.Join the revolution of daily Mussar study at hachzek.com.We are using the Treasure of Life edition of the Orchos Tzadikkim (Published by Feldheim)_____________Listen, Subscribe & Share: Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/jewish-inspiration-podcast-rabbi-aryeh-wolbe/id1476610783Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4r0KfjMzmCNQbiNaZBCSU7) to stay inspired! Share your questions at aw@torchweb.org or visit torchweb.org for more Torah content.  _____________About the Host:Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe, Director of TORCH in Houston, brings decades of Torah scholarship to guide listeners in applying Jewish wisdom to daily life.  To directly send your questions, comments, and feedback, please email: awolbe@torchweb.org_____________Support Our Mission:Our Mission is Connecting Jews & Judaism.

In this episode of the Jewish Inspiration Podcast, Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe continues his study of Orchos Tzadikim (Ways of the Righteous), concluding the chapter on laziness. Drawing from King Solomon's wisdom in Proverbs, Rabbi Wolbe highlights the pitfalls of laziness, particularly in failing to seek or maintain friendships with wise and God-fearing individuals, which he deems the epitome of laziness. He uses the metaphor of the ant, which tirelessly gathers over a thousand kernels of food it doesn't need, to contrast with the lazy person's endless excuses, such as fearing "lions in the streets" to avoid Torah study or good deeds. Rabbi Wolbe emphasizes the need for balance, noting that while excessive laziness is detrimental, strategic laziness—such as avoiding evil pursuits or working on Shabbos—can be virtuous. He encourages listeners to be eager in pursuing Torah, mitzvot, and positive influences, while being "lazy" about negative actions like slander, envy, or frequenting inappropriate places.

6-15-25 AM God's Answers to Man's Excuses by Clays Mill Baptist

Following the series of post-Paschal feasts that are intended to be consoling, Holy Mother Church steps forth to remind us that salvation is not automatic. This warning is intended to keep us vigilant even outside of the penitential season of Lent. Moreover, the Church desires us to know that the Catholic Faith is not just about consolations and that we must not make excuses for putting off the work of our salvation when we do not receive them.

In this episode of the Jewish Inspiration Podcast, Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe continues his exploration of Orchos Tzadikim (Ways of the Righteous), focusing within the chapter on laziness. Drawing from King Solomon's teachings in Proverbs, Rabbi Wolbe outlines seven characteristics of a lazy person, emphasizing their tendency to make excuses to avoid effort, such as fearing imaginary dangers like "lions in the streets" when urged to learn Torah from a visiting rabbi. He illustrates how laziness manifests as a refusal to act, even when opportunities—like free access to Torah resources in the modern era—are readily available. Rabbi Wolbe highlights the accessibility of Torah study today through platforms like YouTube, ArtScroll, and the All Daf app, noting that there are no valid excuses for ignorance in Judaism due to laziness. He shares a personal anecdote about learning Russian in the former Soviet Union by persistently collecting vocabulary, demonstrating how consistent effort transforms one-dimensional knowledge into a rich, multidimensional understanding, applicable to Torah study. Quoting Moses, Rabbi Wolbe underscores that Torah is "close to you, in your mouth and heart," requiring only action and desire to achieve greatness, not reliance on external blessings or lineage. He contrasts the lazy person, who procrastinates and fails to act, with the proactive individual who maximizes time and opportunities, such as listening to Torah classes while multitasking. The episode concludes with a Talmudic analogy of a lazy servant who feigns illness to avoid a king's missions, underscoring that laziness renders one unfit for both this world and the next. Rabbi Wolbe encourages listeners to train themselves to be proactive, overcome laziness, and seize the abundant opportunities for spiritual growth.Recorded at TORCH Centre in the Levin Family Studios (B) to a live audience on March 3, 2025, in Houston, Texas.Released as Podcast on July 1, 2025_____________This series on Orchos Tzadikim/Ways of the Righteous is produced in partnership with Hachzek.Join the revolution of daily Mussar study at hachzek.com.We are using the Treasure of Life edition of the Orchos Tzadikkim (Published by Feldheim)_____________Listen, Subscribe & Share: Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/jewish-inspiration-podcast-rabbi-aryeh-wolbe/id1476610783Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4r0KfjMzmCNQbiNaZBCSU7) to stay inspired! Share your questions at aw@torchweb.org or visit torchweb.org for more Torah content.  _____________About the Host:Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe, Director of TORCH in Houston, brings decades of Torah scholarship to guide listeners in applying Jewish wisdom to daily life.  To directly send your questions, comments, and feedback, please email: awolbe@torchweb.org_____________Keywords:#Laziness, #Torah, #Productivity, #Neglect, #Excuses, #Growth, #Balance, #Pitfalls_____________Support Our Mission:Help us share Jewish wisdom globally by sponsoring an episode at torchweb.org.

Send us a textCould the solution to America's health crisis be simpler than we think? Jim Walter, cardiovascular exercise physiologist with 35 years of experience, believes so. In this eye-opening conversation, Jim challenges conventional wisdom about exercise by promoting a refreshingly accessible approach: just move more throughout your day.The statistics are sobering—25% of Americans are completely sedentary, while 60% barely do more than basic daily activities. But rather than pushing the standard 150 minutes of weekly moderate-to-vigorous exercise that many find intimidating, Jim offers practical, bite-sized movement opportunities that anyone can incorporate without disrupting their schedule.What makes Jim's approach so powerful is its simplicity. Take the stairs to a different floor for the bathroom. Stand while waiting for water to boil. Walk while talking on the phone. His "radius rule"—committing to walk rather than drive within certain distances—exemplifies how small changes compound over time. These aren't just theoretical benefits; research shows that simply replacing sitting with standing throughout the day significantly improves blood sugar and reduces body fat.Beyond physical health, Jim addresses how movement enhances family dynamics and relationships. Evening walks with spouses create meaningful conversation time. Parents can move around sports fields during children's practices instead of sitting scrolling through phones. These practices not only model healthy behaviors for children but strengthen family bonds simultaneously.As Jim eloquently rephrases JFK's famous words: "Ask not what your healthcare provider can do, ask what you can do for your health." Our bodies weren't designed for prolonged sitting—they were made to move. Start today by identifying one simple way to introduce more movement into your routine. Your future self will thank you.Support the showLearn More at: www.Redefine-Fitness.com

You'll learn: *Why excuses feel safer than change (brain + behavior science) *How emotional discomfort drives rationalization  *The real cost of protecting your limitations  *How to spot when “self-compassion” has turned into self-sabotage *Proven strategies to shift from passive insight to lasting action.
