Embrace your EX cuse

Embrace your Excuse

Our days are so full potential. How do excuses interfere with our progress?

What is your plan ?

This is the response I often give when I am in a conversation with someone who has decided that they are unsatisfied. This discontentment can be the result of many phenomena. Frequently, when someone is expressing angst, I question what can they do about it.

Circumstances

I know full well that there are many things in our lives we cannot control. The obvious is always fun, so lets point some things out .

We cannot control :
To whom or where we are born.
Our socio-economic status during childhood and adolescence.
Which hair type we inherit (for all of you familiar with “Good” and “Bad” hair) .
The weather.
The time of the sunrise.
Gas prices.

If you find yourself utilizing any of the above as an excuse, you have been a victim of circumstance. I urge you to rescue yourself .

If you find yourself on the couch, or under a table, you need to recite the following phrases to yourself.

I am not prey .
I will not be taken by surprise, Therefore I will be prepared for life.
I will not be held hostage by this circumstance.


If you feel as though you need to get your life in control. Please consider what Michael Hyatt has to say(see michaelhyatt.com).

Considering Circumstances

You cannot plan for circumstances though you know they are coming and that they will have an effect on life.

I am not denying the fact that some decisions beyond our control may have negative effects on our lives. For example:

You did not decide to be brought up in foster care.
You did not decide to lose your job.
You did not decide to have your identity stolen .
You did not plan on becoming ill.

Please do not misinterpret my words, I do not mean for this to come off as harsh. I am not insensitive to all of the current conditions you are facing . I understand that today you may be experiencing many undesirable situations. More importantly I understand that tomorrow is coming and you will have to face the day .

I encourage you to read the story of W. Mitchell (see WMitchell.com). After reading this article I hope that you have a different perspective on your personal circumstance.

I hope the molehills you are currently trying to overcome explode into a huge mountain of success for you.

I urge you to embrace you EXCUSE, whatever it may be and turn it into a mile marker. Then you can say you have been there and done that there is no need to go back.
