Excuses are nasty buggers. They can sound so genuine and plausible that I almost forget that I just made them up. They can be disguised as explanations that lend them certain credibility that they don't deserve. And when I have shut down one, there is another waiting right behind it.
The trouble with excuses is that they cause me to settle, and while it gets me off the hook for doing something bold or vulnerable or unpleasant, settling doesn't feel good inside. The Handel Group calls it Dream Decay because every excuse allows us to take our dreams a little less seriously. In my eternal quest for growth, I am ruthlessly weeding out my excuses, so there is room for something else. That is part of the theme in the MICRO FICTION section this week, and then there is, of course, some silly stuff.
In the WHAT I AM section, you can find out more about what inspires me to give my excuses the heave-ho right now.
