Excuses

I realized something recently. Excuses, when we apply them to ourselves, weaken us. If there is a good reason for us to do something and we would like to accomplish it, then we only limit ourselves by later finding excuses not to do that thing. Of course, excuses may be perfectly valid and true--but if they are preventing us from doing something worthwhile that we really want to do, we should evaluate how much weight we want to give our excuses.
