Pile of Excuses

"An excuse becomes an obstacle in your journey to success when it is made in place of your best effort or when it is used as the object of the blame." -Bo Bennett

There it is, the big rock in the middle of the road. It looks large and imposing on the road we are taking to our future. What more could go wrong? How will I get to the other side? Maybe I should just stop here and give up.

There it is, the big excuse keeping us from succeeding. It seems large and imposing in our mind keeping us from moving forward. What more could go wrong? How will I get beyond the problem? Maybe I should just stop here and give up.

Each of us develops excuses that prevent us from achieving success. We allow the small pebbles in our path to become large boulders. When confronted with a challenge, we view it as insurmountable. We do so by coming up with excuses, more excuses and even more excuses.

Instead of allowing the excuses to build a wall in our life, use your energy to find a way past the challenge. Turn those excuses into solutions and keep moving forward.
