  If Only I Stopped Making Endless Excuses 

  You will have to excuse me. I can’t write this update because I don’t have time, it’s not the right time, my backside hurts from sitting at the computer, I have a headache, I am being constantly distracted by this fly buzzing around the room, I am unable to think clearly because of the wind raging outside, I am preoccupied with more important tasks that just can’t wait, and to be very frank, my hand hurts from all this typing

  Hang on… I just made all these excuses and yet I am no better off. In fact, I feel terrible, incapable, sad, discouraged and absolutely worthless. If only I spent my time DOING instead of EXCUSING… If only I spent my time searching for SOLUTIONS rather than focusing on PROBLEMS… If only I spent my time on what I CAN DO instead of what I CAN’T DO… If only… than maybe I would discover that life is filled with endless POSSIBILITIES and OPPORTUNITIES rather than roadblocks and problems.

  Circumstances are Irrelevant, Responses are Paramount! 

  There have been moments in my life where I have sobbed and frowned for days on end I was shunning responsibility for my life and looking for excuses and someone to blame for my problems.

  I realize today that it’s not what happens to us that matters, it’s what we do about it, how we focus our minds, interpret experiences, and the means by which we respond that makes the biggest difference in the end.

  Life is Not Fair! 

  As I was growing up I often complained to my Parents & others that Life simply wasn’t fair. The response I usually got was that “Life isn’t fair, learn to deal with it!” It actually took me quite a long time to realize the very truth of this statement. And the moment I started to accept the fact that Life wasn’t fair, was the moment I stopped making excuses and began taking personal responsibility for my life and circumstances.
