What's your EXCUSE?

Oh, how we love to make excuses!

In all honesty, we know that there are infinite possibilities. It’s actually scary sometimes, because, our dreams are not impossible but could really come true!!! 

It is just a matter of focusing our thoughts and acting on it and it will happen!

A very simple rule, and yet we seem to always have our excuse!

You know what the truth is? The truth is, we know it is not impossible, we are simply lazy. So we make our long list of excuses!

Right?

- It is more convenient for us to watch TV all day than start working on that project that we have long been thinking of.
- It is more fun to talk about another person’s marriage failure and problems than to start looking at our own and doing something about it.
- It is more easy and simple to live day in and day out asking for support from parents and relatives than to start our own living.

We are so good at making excuses that we are even able to make others around us believe that we have no more choice.

Crap. We always have a choice.

We will always have a choice. Let’s not wait for the doctor to tell us we only have so much time to live before we finally start doing what we really love! 

Shhhhhhhh … no more excuses, please!

    No one has excuse for not doing something he should have done. Regrets follow after one's failure to follow the right thing. Making excuses is no excuse for what happened.

    Yeah, all too often we don't actualize our potential because we hide behind our excuses. Some people are afraid to push themselves because of fear of failure; others are just lazy and would rather blame others for their failure.

    sabi nga pag gusto madaming paraan pag ayaw madaming dahilan...

    We make excuses to prove that others are correct. We make excuses to prove that we're like others who are irresponsible. We make excuses to prove that others are better than us. Making excuses does not make you credible and honest. Better keep your mouth shut to lessen your mistakes.

    Some are just too dependent with others that they make their excuses. some people envy other's people successes and consider themselves unlucky but in reality they are just not pushing through what they wanted in life!!:)

    Yes, I do agree with you that we make a lot of excuses. We are what we are. We make our own destiny. We may have problems along the way, but we get that because it's a challenge, not a stumbling block.

I do what I do

Writing is my outlet! I have been doing this since Grade 4. When I’ve written what I have in mind, I would sleep really well and would move on.  So, it’s like a therapy to me! Lol! http://gemsdaily.blogspot.com I love writing, I love the process of unfolding, unraveling, cocooning, De-boning as I put the exact words in my piece.. Kind of like a puzzle... Almost there, but not quite... yet! I know I am involved in the process of becoming as I continue to write, as I continue to grow, yearn and learn. I am still challenging myself to be so much more, do so much more and make my dreams come true for myself and for my family.  I look forward to have us all achieve our grandest desires for ourselves and our loved ones.  My mission is to continuously inspire, encourage and motivate myself and hopefully – you! (if by chance you read this) to just get out of our shells and be, do and have more in life.  To BE MORE, D...

Learning Life's Lessons!

Image
I heard or read somewhere that life will continue to give us lessons until we learn it. Two weeks after graduating from college, I was already teaching college students.    I was so idealistic, perfectionist and wouldn’t tolerate students who were cheating, talking while I was teaching and not doing their work. Ye s , I was really strict! Many of my former students would attest to that! The thing was even if I knew I needed to change, I continued on doing what I was doing because I was afraid if I lost my control, if I became friendly and acted my age (I was just 20 then!, some of my students were even older than me!), I felt my students wouldn’t respect me and may took advantage of my kindness. So I continued on with my demeanor; I pushed my students to meet my expectations! I abhorred cheating, if they did so (I was good at finding out; because all our activities were computerized), the next day they would find their names written in bold caps posted in t...
