So in just over 3 weeks I head to Navy bootcamp. Crazy stuff.

Hard to believe 6 months ago I didn’t even know if it was something I was going to do.  And now here I am about to leave.

That’s how thing go though.  One minute we aren’t even close to something and then we make a decision and we ask ourselves why we didn’t do it sooner.

All of our decisions are like this though.  We deliberate, we hem, we haw, we find excuses not to do things, time, money, family, kids, work, the list goes on.  It’s quite amazing how many excuses we can find when we look for them.  They are around every corner.

We need to start looking as excuses for what they are.  Stop signs to our dreams.

They keep us stuck, keep us on hold, and keep us from moving forward.  They are not something to be embraced, but rather something to knock out of the way.  The really bad thing about excuses is that they are addicting, once we start with one, it’s just the start of the domino effect, and pretty soon we are making excuses so fast, we actually come to believe them.

So quit making excuses, if there is something you know you need to be doing, whether it’s in a relationship, with your dream, your goal, your work, your education, quit messing around, quit giving excuses and just start it.
