Sunday Story…Excuses, excuses

Lead, follow or get out of the way.
There are 3 kinds of people…those who watch what happened, those that make things happen and those who wonder what happened.
Excuses or results you can’t have both.

Platitudes abound around this subject but the bottom line is simple: you must decide what person you are going to be. You must sit down and look in the mirror and honestly assess which you are…a leader or a follower…a results person or an excuse maker.

The fact is pretty simple…if you aren’t where you want to be you have probably been manufacturing excuses. Maybe you have a quiver full of excuses for every occasion…went off your food plan? Business dinner…Kids birthday…Team on TV or team losing or team winning. Lots of excuses, every one of them good.

Excuses get in the way of your results. Excuses are you watching what happened. Results are you making things happen. Results happen when consistency, motivation, and a solid plan come together. Results happen when you ditch your excuses. There is not room for both. Ditch the excuses, make room for results!

Find a quiet place and do some soul searching. Maybe you are an action figure in most of your life but in one or two places you are just window dressing. A figure sitting in the window watching thing happen making excuses why you can’t quite grab the brass ring in that part of your life…maybe relationships or finance or food. Be brutally honest and start getting the results you want…if you really want them.

Results matter.

Namaste
