DROP IT: The excuse habit
When it comes to excuse, the world is full of great inventors. Failures are expert at making excuses. There are always enough excuses available if you are weak enough to use them.
Mistakes have hidden powers to help us, but they fail in their mission of helping us when we blame them on other people.
When you use excuses, you give up your power of change and improve. So, "never mind whom you praise, but be careful of whom you blame"
you can fall down many times, but you won't be a failure until you say that someone else pushed you.
So, find a way, not an excuse. Never complain and never explain. Admitting errors clear the score and proves you wiser than before.
Doing a job right is always easier than fabricating an alibis for why you didn't. You waste time and creative energies thinking up excuses.
Nearly all failures cone from people who have the habit of making excuses. The book of proverbs says, "work brings profit, talk brings poverty. If you are good at making excuses, it's hard to excel at anything else
Admitting you are wrong when you make mistakes does not make you an idiot, it only prepare you for the next task ahead. Now, you have learn the lesson on how to do it better the next time
Be yourself, who else is better qualified?
Every person has specific gifts, talents and strengths. The book of Corinthians assets, "Each man has his own gift from God. Incredibly, many actually spend their entire lives trying to change the way they were made. The Bible says when God made us, it pleased Him (1 cor 12:18). If God is pleased, shouldn't we be too?
Take full account of the excellencies which you possess and in gratitude, remember how you would hanker after them if you had them not.
Too many people over value what they aren't and under value what they are.
Too many people take only their wants into consideration, never their talents and abilities. Deep down inside, if you are a musician, then make music. If you are a teacher, teach. Be what you are and you will be at peace with yourself.
When you accept who you are, you will become responsible for what you do and it will in turn save you from making excuses for all your actions
Have this in your mind that whatever you become, either good or bad is as a result of your choices, not anybody's fault.
