Today’s Daily Stoic Meditation outlines how, in any situation, there is no room for excuses.
There is always a reason, a solution and an advancement.
Waste no time excusing yourself and move forward.
“It is possible to curb your arrogance, to overcome pleasure and pain, to rise above your ambition, and to not be angry with stupid and ungrateful people — yes, even to care for them.”
— MARCUS AURELIUS, MEDITATIONS, 8.8
Excuses
As a society, we make countless excuses.
We fail to be able to take responsibility for our actions, and so try excuse ourselves.
Excuses are a common thing, yet they are futile.
No Excuses
However, there is simply no time for excuses.
Excuses are futile, time wasting and pointless.
Nobody believes your excuses most of the time!
Waste No Time — Move Forward
Quite frankly, you don’t have the time for excuses.
You don’t have the time to be fabricating stories and lies.
You don’t have the time to be excusing yourself from your wrong doings, or trying to shift the blame.
