Once Tom Terwilliger said to me, "Hey I'm sorry I'm late. The traffic...oh hell...I'm late and I'm sorry."
My favorite excuse is that I'm sooooo busy. This morning when the alarm went off at 6 am, immediately the excuses not to drag my fat butt to they gym were flying through my brain. Then my stepson got up to join so I HAD to go.
When we got there, the parking lot was PACKED.
Hundreds of people denying their excuses.
*Today is Earth Day? EVERY DAY should be earth day. What's our lame excuse?
*We still haven't found Osama? How the hell do we excuse that?
*1 out of 4 children are obese? What excuse makes that OK?
*1 out of every 3 women and 1 out of every 5 men are sexually abused in some way? Anyone think up a good excuse for that?
* There is a pile of trash in the ocean twice the size of Texas floating around there disintegrating and killing the marine life...but we were soooo busy....
*People living in tent cities? In America? What happened? Did we forget something?
*Gay Marriage is still an issue? Did our evolution alarm not go off? Was there a traffic jam on the progression highway?
Does anyone see the pattern here? My little excuses that have allowed me to gain 15 pounds over the winter have put my body in a domino tumble the wrong direction. Those excuses become a habit. Not just about the body, but about life.
How I see myself is how I see the world. There is no separation. You are your world. You cannot allow your excuses to rule it.
We all have so much work to do...I'm sure we are going to be sooooo busy. Let's get to it.
I've lost 6 of those pounds in 2 weeks. It's work. My wanting to quit makes me push harder.
Your turn.
No more excuses.
