This "short and sweet" post is inspired by the quote below from the page-a-day calendar "UNFU*CK YOURSELF" by Gary John Bishop.
"Who or what have you blamed for your life being the way it has been? Maybe your life was turbulent and upsetting when you were growing up, or perhaps it was boring and uneventful. The thing is, there are plenty of people who grew up in similar situations who haven't turned out anything like you."
This quote encapsulates one of my life mottos, "Do NOT make excuses!"
To say, "I cannot stand excuses." is a significant understatement. As the quotes below state, you will not accomplish anything if you make excuses.
You do not need to be the best; you just need to do "it"! You can talk and make excuses until you are "blue in the face," but action is the only way to get results.
We live in a world of people struggling to survive. The antidote to struggling is solutions (with an emphasis on the plural of this word). This is because human beings are meant to solve problems. This is why I say...
"Without problems, there would be no life, and without solutions, there is no living."
If you find yourself making excuses not to try something new, finish something you started, and so on, it may be time to ask yourself if what you want to try, finish, etc. was suitable for you and if you believe it is why are you making excuses not to continue?
Similarly, it is okay to discontinue something if it is not right for you, but you have to TRY!
