No Excuses!

Excuses are indeed useless. Excuses have not place in our lives, excuses only serve as a reason for why something did not get done. For this reason nothing gets done from excuses, which makes excuses in there very nature counterproductive; no one is remembered for what he would have accomplished. The sole measure of success is accomplishment. People are remembered accomplishing things in spite of excuses, when they certainly had many they could have used; it is not as if they lacked excuses, but rather choice to forego the use of many plausible excuses. In History it is not important the obstacles that were there as it is the overcoming of the obstacles, for if one had not overcame those obstacles what would we have to remember except for the obstacles and the lack of accomplishment. The thing that really matters in History is that the excuses were overcome, not what the excuses were. Therefore anyone who wants to achieve a worthwhile goal must certainly forego many excuses to achieve it. Once we begin putting away our excuses we have taken the first step; we will have seen our failure and be able to move past using our failures as excuses. We must strive to eliminate excuses from our lives as much as possible. This will also assist to eliminate stress, for we will not be worrying about what excuse to use and therefore will increase our own self respect; we will have moved to a state of accomplishment. Anything else is simply an excuse.
