"Excuses reveal priorities. When we offer an excuse to do [or not do] something, it’s only because there’s something else that’s more important to us."
So what’s the difference between an excuse and a priority? To most people, an excuse is an illegitimate reason why you choose to do (or not do) something. There may be some degree of truth to the reason, but ultimately when examined objectively, honestly, and in depth, it holds little water in justifying your actions or lack thereof.
In contrast, a priority is simply something you value more than the action you are replacing. If your life vision and priorities are well-defined, your choice of activities and behaviors become clear
Why is “busy-ness” an excuse? Because although it has some legitimacy, I know deep down I could have found the time. I procrastinated, and this just led to more procrastination- I let it build up and build up. You know the rest of the story.....lol :P
Motivation,
priorities, excuses. All of these things affect you and your work. We
are either extremely lacking or highly motivated. we either make
it a priority or we shove it to the end of our priority list. excuses
in many many forms then you probably can think of. For me
motivation comes in waves. some people get motivated from the
failures or attempts. I am not. I am motivated with good things good
feeling good people around me or some good act which somehow boot in
some positive energy into me for my work. Do not let the tears and excuses stop you from living out your life loud.
I feel we all have somehow figured this fact out that no one is busy in this world everyone is having some priorities to fulfill or abide by. the only thing that can make you still be alive in the same situation is having a dynamic change in your process thinking realization and prospective approach to the same problem. sometimes our life our environment is so stagnant or monotonous that we think of getting bored of the same work/thing which had a lot of enthusiastic motivation.
When you do things differently, giving up those parts of your life that have been self-defeating
for those which are self-affirming, your weight, your health, and your life change dramatically.
You acquire self-discipline and strength
Prioritizing our lives can be quite complicated, especially when it comes to working out. I know it is always lying on the bottom of our priority list.
Well to me Excuses and priorities are the opposite faces of the same coin. ( see photo above ) The first lines of this blog is also pointing on this fact that with your every simple logical tangible blah blah blah excuses you just point your fingers towards your priorities which has no space to keep the task in consideration. I am not posing to defend any part of the statement but if we either compromise with our priorities or move out with the flow then we are no other than others who always plans for the best and finds himself in the worst situation.
Be honest with yourself as to why you are or aren’t doing something. If you define your priorities and values in life clearly, you’re more likely to take actions that are aligned with them and avoid those that detract from your ultimate goals and vision.
I would leave you with your inner mind fighting over this debate and also end up this conversation by this one line which is :
"Just focus on
your priorities, excuses will come out spontaneously. "
