NO EXCUSES - Best Motivational Speech. What's stopping you? Are you tired? Did enough sleep? Don't have enough energy? Don't have enough time? Is that what's stopping you right now? Don't have enough money? That the thing? Or is the thing that's stopping you you? Excuses sound best to the person that's making above. Stop feeling sorry for yourself. Get off the pity party. Telling everybody you're sad and sob story, is trying to get people to show up to your pity parties and your pity parades.
