No Excuses

 

WOW, found this on the internet and slapped me in the face - hard!

NO EXCUSE as to why I have ignored my blog for so long.

I am not for sure how I lost sight of how much I enjoy writing, how much I enjoy sharing my thoughts on topics or how much I enjoy seeing responses from others  regarding my writing ... but I did lose sight.  The one thing I do know, is I made a million excuses as why not to be writing, all of which were most likely pathetic.

Human nature is odd, if we have a task to do, like writing a blog, we can pull an infinite array of excuses out of our butt - I'm too tired, I'm too busy, I'm sick, I don't know what to write about, No one reads it anyway, blah, blah, blah.  But do we ever pull and excuse out of our butt regarding why we can't watch television, why we can't take a nap or my personal favorite, why we can't go to the beach?  Hell no!

I never realized how an excuse is really just a form of false justification.  When we make an excuse, we become delusional to a point, ignoring priorities and pay offs.  Watching rerun episode of Two and a Half Men offers no benefit to my day other than escape - yet there are much better escapes like writing a blog or taking a healthy bike ride.  

More importantly, who am I kidding, this blog will take me no more than 30 minutes to write, proof and post.  I waste more than 30 minutes a day just deciding what to freaking wear and eat!!!  And even though focusing on such important issues as fashion and the fast food gag in a bag culinary arts, rarely after my time investment am I as happy with the final outcome of my outfit or meal, as I am with the final outcome of my blog.

So, short and simple, monitor yourself (yes this is the pot calling the kettle black) to see if you are making excuses (delusional false justifications) as to why you are not accomplishing a task.  Then, review your day, and see if you can identify where you could have found that 30 minutes to complete the task.  If you find it, you have confirmed, delusion resides in your life!  Good news for me, now I have company.  Bad news for you, hopefully I will be leaving the "Excuse Party" and you can become the host.
