Excuses

Excuses are tools of the incompetent used to build monuments of nothing and bridges that lead to nowhere.
For those who specialize in them shall never be good at anything else.

Excuses are lies we tell ourselves to avoid dealing with unpleasant truths. But as long as we buy into those excuses, we can never move past them. Instead of addressing the underlying problem, we merely hide the symptoms. I read this earlier today and I thought it was poignant. There are so many times that we make excuses for any number of things; weight loss, jobs, family, relationships. Why do we make excuses for things? Is it because we don't really want to face what is in front of us? Is it because we don't want to let people down with the truth about things? Or is it because we've convinced ourselves that our problems don't really exist and that the true fault lies within everyone else?

What's your excuse?
