Excuses Are Like...
Excuses are like ass holes, everyone has one and they all stink. Yep, I sure did. I just said it. I put it out there for everyone to know. I have the vocabulary of a well-educated sailor, but in all seriousness is anyone ever interested in someone's excuse? When is it that we learn the behavior of blaming others for our shortcomings and failures? No seriously. When? When is this taught to us? Grade school? Middle school? High school? Or do we learn it as young adults? I've learned in my nearly 40 years, that's it's just better to man up and take the blame for the misstep and move forward. That's not to say that the perfectionist in me doesn't beat me up for a few days after the misgivings of the failure, but if everyone survives without injury it's all good. Yes. I am still learning to let it go, but I do accept blame for the missteps I take. What I'm wondering is why is this so hard to do? Do we hold ourselves so highly,
