Excuses
I watched a movie with my boyfriend last night called 2012, about the world coming to an end on December 21, 2012. I wasn’t too impressed because I felt like I’ve already seen too many movies like this – Armageddon, The Day After Tomorrow, I Am Legend, and the list goes on. But the message I got from the movie was that we take a lot of things for granted. There was a scene where a father tries to get in touch with his estranged son but never had the chance. How many opportunities have been lost because you waited or made excuses to avoid it? They don’t have to be big excuses, but what have you told yourself lately that is holding you back?
“I’m bad at keeping in touch.”
“I’ll never be a good cook.”
“Who has the time for volunteering?”
“I’d exercise more if…”
“I don’t have enough time.”
It helps if you know the difference between your reasons and your excuses. Reasons are based on your priorities, where as excuses are covering up something you know you should be doing. Almost all excuses can be overcome, but it is our burden as individuals to either accept or break them.
