I make excuses because I’m scared. I’m in a zone, a comfort zone, and I don’t want to go outside the zone because, good grief, something might happen! I’m always thinking the worst: I’ll be embarrassed by someone or something, I’ll get lost and no one will come to my rescue, I’ll screw something up and fumble around until I make it just okay. But you know, usually things don’t turn out as bad as I had dreamed it up in my mind. Yeah, sometimes I do get lost or mess something up but really it isn’t all that bad. But more and more I’m pretty happy to stay at home and not do anything different from what I’ve done for the last 10 years. There’s nothing wrong with being a homebody but I need to meet a few people and socialize. It’s time to stop, go out and meet some people and enjoy life (another goal). No excuses.
People doing this are also doing these things:

Im tired of putting things off, missing things and just pissing around. I want to stop not doing things just because I can’t be bothered.

only1oLIVia it's your life! what you gonna do?
I have been making excuses on why I want what I want.
“I need it…I want it…it’s mine…it doesn’t belong to anyone else…why would it have happened this way if….”
The excuses are maddening! I have to stop and let go! No more excuses on this issue. I’m letting go and things are what they are.
I totally surrender!
I really don’t do this at all anymore. I get my stuff done that I need to get done. And no excuses! =]
Lornel is going to clean this place
There is always an excuse as to why this wasn’t done or that wasn’t done…I have an excuse for almost everything! It is very unbecoming and I guess I just can’t own up to my mistakes.
This is pretty much my main goal right now.. I need to stop making excuses and get my shit done. There’s like only 2-4 more weeks of real work and then after that I’m going to be set for a while and won’t have to work.. But until then.. I need to stop making excuses and go to work. I’m going to go def. tonight.
Excuses are the cowards way of absolving himself of responsibility. For so long I’ve been a coward, living a mediocre existence while others are laboring to make their dreams come true. It’s time to take a stand, to realize that it’s my responsibility to make my life what I want it to be. It’s my fault that I’m a failure.
No more excuses. It’s all on me!

I really feel I’ve done this. This was primarily a work goal, and I think this component of my performance issues, I’ve appropriately addressed. I’ve feel I’ve made progress regaining the respect I once had. There are other things I still need to work on. Primarily numbers 1 and 2, “Get Motivated,” and “Be Good.”
