I attribute my success to this. I never gave or took any excuses – Florence Nightingale
I’m not really sure how I feel about this quote. I totally agree with the not giving excuses, but I’m struggling with the not taking excuses. I don’t have any control over how other people are, nor do I have any right to judge why they do or don’t do something. I only have control over me. I do try hard not to make excuses. I may have reasons, but reasons are not excuses. And there is a big difference between a reason and an exucse. Think about it, and you can see the difference in yourself when you’re making an excuse. Don’t make excuses, just own it. Make it become yours, like your success. Your success is up to you, and it is NOT dependent upon the actions of anybody else. You alone control it. So reach out with both hands and grab tight to your success!
