Day 11 - good lesson

I found  todays lesson to be very inspiring, very practical.  It is all common sense and yet I have never even considered all the excuses I make in order to get out of doing what I don't want to do.  

It makes me wonder why I make all the excuses I do.  Is it to sustain my sense of ego?

That seems plausible considering that a lot of the time I like to think of myself as above doing such and such; therefore, I blame it on other things because it is impossible for me to do such and such and A must be caused by B and not be me . . . not by me. 

Another possible reason is that if I feel something is of little relevance or importance to me, I just take the path of least resistance.  It's much easier to say that such and such happened because of this or that rather than to say "It was my fault," and feel the guilt or whatever else that comes along with it.

This lesson combined with the ones before it showed me that even if an activity may seem irrelevant,  it is not.  The actions I take in any activity form habits in the mind that will affect other seemingly more important activities and sabotage my success. So my final words are . . . you guessed it.  NO EXCUSES!
