Life is funny, it's always twisting and changing and full of challenges. It's during these times that things fall through the cracks. Ultimately one has to find the root cause of failure in order to prevent it from occurring again. When I was at FedEx, I learned that there are reasons for failure and that there are excuses for failure. Excuses are avoidable, and though not always easy to predict or prevent, they are ultimately preventable. An excuse may be a detriment on the path of success, but the not sole cause for failure alone. Reasons are not preventable and out of your control. Reasons are legitimate obstacles that prevent success.
That being said, what is it that prevents me from proper training! Why haven't I completed a marathon yet. Family life and work are very important, and certainly take a lot of time but are they excuses or reasons? I battle with this all of the time.
So today it is going to rain (excuse), And I can't run tomorrow because of my kid's soccer game(another excuse) and work (WTF! another one!) I need to over come the excuses and get after it!!
This blog is imported to my site at sweat365.com. There I have had the good fortune of meeting a guy who no longer accepts excuses. If you need to be motivated, or just want a good read check out http://brad.sweat365.com/. Brad was a regular guy, until he stopped making excuses. Now he kicks ass in Triathlons.
So there you have it, it will be raining today when I leave work, am I going to run or am I going to persevere?????
