No Excuse Living and Working with Your Vision for Yourself
The first step of living a no excuse life is creating a vision for the life you want to lead.
“Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he.” Proverbs 29:18
Whether you consciously know this or not, you are living your life based on a vision that you have of yourself. The question is… Are you living your life based on YOUR vision or the living from the vision of yourself that you have accepted from others.
So which one is it for you?
When you start to create a vision of for yourself and you start moving towards that vision, you are living your life on purpose which would be considered living with the law. The Success Laws that is.
What areas of your life should you develop a vision for:
1. Relationships – How do you interact with others? What type of relationship do you want to have with your family?
2. Career – What do you want to spend your life doing? Do you want to enjoy what you do? Do you want to work for yourself or someone else?
3. Fitness – What type of physical shape do you want to be in? What weight do you want to maintain? What do you want your body fat % to be?
4. Financial – How much money do you want to have in the bank? How much do you want to have in your retirement plan?
When you have answers to these questions, then you can formulate your mission statement. This is the statement that you measure all your activity against.
There are no excuses for not living the life that you want to live.
Simply plan for your desire, take action towards it and never stop until you reach your desire. You may have to make some adjustments in your plan as you move forward but these should be considered learning periods, bridging the gap between where you are to where you want to go.

No Excuse Living and Living a Life of Service to Others
Living a no excuse life is a rewarding and enlightening thing, when you take FULL responsibility for your life and realize that everything that happens to you in your life is a result of the action that you put forward, your whole life changes.
There is a hierarchy of success principles that have been documented since the beginning of recorded history. The problem that we face is that we have become too fast to give up and not follow through and then we blame others for our lack of success.
Here is the list of steps towards living a No Excuse Successful Life:
1. Desire – The starting point of all success come with desire. We all have an internal guiding system that is in tuned with our strengths. We can find this in our interests and what grabs our attention.
2. Plan – When we identify the desire, the next step is to devise a plan to get to our desire. This will require us to pay a price for that what we desire.
3. Action – This is where we pay the price. Without action, we will not get what we desire. There will always be a price to pay for what you want, there is not such thing as something for nothing.
When it comes to the action step there are two categories:
1. Personal Discipline – This is where we make sure to do the things that we know we should do. Examples: Eating the right things, exercising, working on our communication skills, working on our job skills. These are things that we do to maintain proper health, and making sure that we are valuable in the market place.
2. Service to others – We have a need to eat, put a roof over our heads and clothes on our back. This is called survival. In order to make this happen as a sound human being with all physical and mental faculties, we need to be of service to others.
The more we desire the more people we need to be of service too.
