What’s Your Excuse?
We all have excuses. We blurt out a reason for why we’re less successful than we want to be. Or we excuse our poor behavior.
Excuses run rampant in our lives. It’s become an epidemic of massive proportions.
I was recently thinking about a few excuses I’ve used. My excuses include:
- But I don’t have a compelling and challenging upbringing
- But I was raised in a great home
- But I don’t have the great immigrant story to tell
- But I have never truly struggled for much in life
- But I don’t have enough experience
Many of our excuses lack substance. Other excuses people use are:
- But I’m too young
- But I’m too old
- But I’m a white male
- But I’m an African American male
- But I was born an immigrant
- But I’m not an immigrant
