Andrew Wommack once told of a woman in his church who said something along this lines: "I know that God wants me to go to Colorado springs and go to Bible college so i can begin a better walk, but the issue is i have two dogs i am taking care of. And i can't abandon them and come to college."
There are several definitions for 'Excuse' as a word but in simple words I'd rather call it 'Success Murderer'.
My Mentor often says 'Excuses demeans (reduces) a man'. It begins as a tiny powerless insect on a Vegetable but never leaves the Vegetable until it is completely worthless. It is like an intangible and invisible harmless virus that operates with the aim of getting a man off Success track but operates at such a slow paste that the man never observes.
Some people, just too many persons have built up their worlds with
Excuses. They always have a reason for performing below their capacity
or below what's expected of them. In the book 'Failing Forward', John
Maxwell wrote, "Each time you make a mistake and you give explanation to
your failure, you've made another mistake." sometimes the explanations
are true and honest, but regardless, a thousand and one explanation for
Failure will not turn failure to Success. A top Motivational Speaker in
Nigeria- Fela Durotoye rightly said" Failure plus Excuse does not equal
success."
The thing is Some people are just so fund of Excuses, they wouldn't discipline themselves enough to live an Excuse-Free life. But Here is excuses for you; for the man who wouldn't discipline himself in school to make good grades, excuses will present itself in an accepted way when the man needs to give reasons for his failure. To the man who woke up late on the day of his appointment into a new line of employment, he will probably explain that he slept late. The pain is, there is always a reason for everything. You'll never have to struggle in your mind to get a suitable excuse for failure. Excuses will always present itself. But if you don't get a hold of yourself and stay in control of your life, excuses will control it for you.
