One of my core beliefs is that some people have a built-in system for dealing with yeahbutt-itis.  Yeahbutt-itis is the God-given ability to come up with all kinds of reasons NOT to do something.

Whether it is changing careers, finding the right college or even how to make a presentation to your boss, we all can conjure up Yeahbutts. 

 ”Yeah, but if i do it this way, this might happen.”

“Yeah, but if i go to Harvard, I won’t be able to see Susie on weekends.”

“Yeah, but if i go to med school, what happens if i don’t make it?”

“Yeah, but if i don’t get the promotion, what will dad think about me?”

Need some more?  Think back on almost every decision you ever, i mean EVER, made and admit that you did have some YEAHBUTTS in your mind, convincing you to take the easier path.

Your ability to handle these yeahbutts says a lot about how successful your life will be.Â
