Something worth thinking about:
http://www.momwithagun.com/2012/11/excuses/Excerpt:
"But you know what I’ve learned? We can always find an excuse not to do things that are unpleasant, that challenge us, that feel like work. We can always find a way to rationalize not putting in the effort it takes to reach our goals. We can always find a way to say something is too hard, too uncomfortable, too expensive. We can always find a resource we lack – time, money, ammo, good weather, the approval and support of others – that stands in the way of us achieving the things we want to achieve.
Excuses are easy. And when we strip off the excuses, what lies beneath them is this simple truth: If something is important enough to us, we can nearly always find a way to do it. If it’s not, we can always find an excuse not to do it. But far too often, when you buy the excuse you get a bonus pack of regret included free with it. "
