Buy yourself a one-way ticket away from Excuse Island, I just left that place and there’s nothing is happening there – Jacqueline
I have learned that excuses are as bountiful as ever but opportunities are so few and when our excuses become a habit, they simply perpetuate failure.
The choice to make changes or to make excuses is all yours, but remember to claim the results and not shift the blame on someone else.
Carol shares a beautiful post ‘Enjoy the gift of life,’ take a peek and find nuggets within.
Proverbs 26: 13 A sluggard says, “There’s a lion in the road, a fierce lion roaming the streets!” 14 As a door turns on its hinges, so a sluggard turns on his bed.

Agreed. I found in my 70 pound weight loss journey that excuses didn’t burn calories and excuses also didn’t get me any closer to my goal in my debt free journey. Had to drop the excess excuse baggage. It weighed and slowed down my progress.

Honestly if truth be told, I have to stop making the excuses each day. It’s not cutting it.

As always I’m still struggling with my health. Tomorrow 2 doctor appointments. It’s a continuous battle that never ends. I’m on vacation which is good but one day I hope to take a vacation that does not entail doctor visits. One day modern medicine might actually find a solution to my medical problems and I will be able to lead a more active life. Today bed. All day.
