What’s Your Excuse?

I have a personal philosophy:

We live in an Excuse Based Culture.

Most people have a list of Want to Do’s/ Have to do’s/ Should do’s that’s a mile long.

This list usually includes,

“I should eat better”

and

“I should exercise more”

But for some reason a lot of people today would rather grow old rapidly, live in pain, be dependant on medications, move like a stiff man, be depressed, be physically weak, be overweight, be fat, look bad, and generally feel bad.

Then be responsible ADULTS and spend 4% of their day (or less) to work on most of those issues.

It’s Easier to make Excuses than Results–

I’m too busy.

I’m too old.

I don’t have anyone to go with.

It’s boring/no fun.

This hurts, that hurts, I hurt.

I’m so out of shape.

I have kids.

I can’t afford it.

I’m already in good shape.

I don’t want to waste all that food.

I don’t know what to do.

I’m a social person and eat out a lot.

It tastes too good.

Healthy food is too expensive.

I need someone to hold me accountable.

I have no support.

It takes to long to see results.

Dieting is too restrictive.

I don’t know how or like to cook.

But a small minority of people have just the opposite attitude.

They’re excuse-less.

Instead of making up an excuse, finding a reason why they can’t, they consistently find ways they CAN.

Unlike the excuse-making group, these folks tend to have a list of accomplishments and things going on in their lives and get a LOT of their stuff done.

Simple fact:

                       The people I know who have the MOST going on in their lives and are seriously busy FIND the time to take care of themselves and the ones who spend 5 hours a day in front of a T.V. on a smartphone or in front of a computer on Facebook, NEVER have the time and ALWAYS have an excuse.

Surprising, isn’t it?

Same 24 hours in the day yet some people just plain get things done and others talk about what they want to get done.

Which bring me to a Simple Truth:

If you have an hour a day to watch TV you have an hour to workout.
