Excuses Are Only for Yourself

Excuses are not reasons. Reasons are legitmate happenings that keep you from accomplishing what you want to in life. Excuses are those things that are blamed for outcomes that could have been prevented. In other words, excuses are within your control, and reasons are not. Now that we have that out of the way, here’s the truth about excuses: In reality, nobody else really cares about excuses. They just don’t. They want something real and tangible to see and hold, and until then, they’re just waiting.

The purpose of this post is to give that extra little push in the endeavors you have been contemplating. Are the excuses you’ve been using valid reasons, or are they excuses? This truth could apply to your small goals or your huge goals. Whatever the case may be, the only way that excuses will ever stop is by taking the first step in the right direction. You need action to fight excuses and to make your dreams become reality.

Instead of taking time to come up with excuses, use your time to come up with solutions, because that’s the only thing that will make the world a better place.
