Excuses

I can make excuses for anything. I can justify anything. I can make any decision of mine seem "right" just because I want to be right and because I want to do what I want to do. But every time I head down that path of making excuses I come right back to the reality of personal responsibility.

I am the maker and creator of my life. If there is something about my life that makes me uphappy, it's my responsibility to change it. I'm not saying these changes are ever easy or quick, but they are in my own realm of control.

A lot of times when I'm miserable about something, it's a result of my own doing. It's very empowering to understand that I'm the director of my movie and the one place in the universe where I have control is myself.
