Those with a negative mindset tend to be the "Debbie Downer" of setting and reaching goals. Not just their own goals but even goals of their friends.
They find what can go wrong in a situation faster than anyone else in the room. They always have a reason or excuse as to why they cannot reach a goal they have set.
Their inner voice often says things like this: “I can’t’ do this because...”, “If I were her of course I could do this”, “If I didn’t have to work all the time, I could….”, “If I wasn’t so fat, so stupid, so broke, so shy, so tired then I could….”
Do you find yourself making excuses all the time? Is it possible your parents gave excuses for you often?
