Excuses Be Gone

We tend to make excuses when we don’t reach our goals.  It’s time to stop making excuses and take responsibility for our actions.

There are going to be times when we don’t reach our goal.  Sometimes it is not our fault, but it is our responsibility.  It does not mean you are a failure when you don’t reach a goal.  It could be that your goal was not realistic or it may not even be a goal you need to reach to begin with.  Just know that you are not a failure for not reaching a goal. Failure only comes when we quit or give up.  Making excuses for coming up short will not make us look any better.  Admit it and move on.  Determine whether or not you need to try again or move on to something else.  It is not the end of the world when we fall short of the mark.  Many times it is the just the beginning of something bigger and better.  Take time today to check your goals and the progress you are making toward them.  Also, make sure the goal is a goal you should be striving toward.
