You were supposed to get something done
And you couldn’t
So you would come up with that elegant savior of all times
An excuse
As if, the excuse is good enough
Since you have an excuse, you are seemingly pardoned from the crime of not doing the job
Now go back to a normal day – and consciously count the number of excuses you throw at people, including yourself
To not do what you are supposed to do
To not eat right
To not work out.
To not binge watch.
To not get angry.
To not slacken.
To not be ungrateful.
To not blame others.
And ask yourself –
at what point did I allow my excuses to become bigger than my goals?
