What are excuses and why do people make them? Excuses are explanations or alibis to conceal disappointments or negativity. Failure will definitely move closer when numerous excuses are made so certain actions must be done to overcome them and do well in either work or life. People who are always making excuses are headed towards the path of weakness that pushes them to feel denial, unaccomplished, resentment and frustration. If you want to become successful, you must not make any excuses and agree to the other people’s excuses. Such action will certainly bring about the drive, effectiveness, authority and control over your life and career. It will be the ground for people to become curious and hungry for more knowledge which can greatly help in immediately recognizing the mistakes and correcting them. Different excuses are made every day when it comes to health, relationships, life, friendships or work with statements like “I don’t have money,” “I am not capable of doing it,” “I’m busy” or “I am not feeling well.” The negative thing about frequently making excuses is that they have the possibility of becoming a reality. In life, people have different work schedules and duties. Allotting even the smallest period of time to do something will help in achieving what you want to accomplish. Just like what they always say: “One step at a time.” You may not have all the time you need to finish everything at once but you will still have enough time to get it done with focus and determination. At work, it would be better to ask someone to teach or help you in getting the job done correctly if you do not know what to do instead of pretending to know everything or deciding not to ask because of embarrassment. And when the outcome does not turn out the way it should be, the excuses and blame begins to surface and it will not help you grow personally and professionally. Believing in yourself will no longer push you to make some excuses about the people surrounding you like family, friends or colleagues. Identifying what you love to do will certainly develop positive relationships at home or at work. Meanwhile, try to list down all of the excuses that you make every single day as a measure to overcome them. Mentally identify the special statements that are proactive from the listed excuses making you in-charge and in control of the situation or the destiny of your life. From there, spend some time to ponder about those statements like “I am responsible for that,” “I apologize” or “I will do better next time.” Ask God to give you enough wisdom in establishing the mistake you have done and correcting the problem as soon as possible. Do not accept the excuses of other people. If you do not accept your own excuses, then you should not acknowledge theirs. Make this action you new practice in life or work and you will be on the path to success and greatness.

What Is Your Life’s Purpose?

When you rise up in the morning, do you pause for a second to ponder and then eventually answer the million dollar question: “What is your life’s purpose?” This question could serve as a wake-up call to those who take their daily busy lives for granted. Life happens so fast and there is the inevitable knowledge that all of the people in this world will expire in their respective time. In order to have a meaningful life before it is taken away from us, one should make a difference in their personal life as well as with someone else’s. Why? It would be very ideal that when a person expires, he or she will be remembered with a pinch of happiness and sadness from the people around. Sadness, of course, because the presence of that person will be missed while on the other hand is happiness because he or she was able to live a meaningful life and leave a legacy of accomplishments behind that family and friends will always remember and may even utilize to carry on with life. No need to fret if you can’t seem to find the purpose of your life because some people are most likely going through the same thing. Keep in mind that God has already arranged His plan for you but He is just waiting for the right time to come and give it. Have faith in God that He will show your life’s path and purpose in His time so be patient. Nearly everyone thinks that getting a life purpose means doing and achieving something that you truly yearn for. When things become unclear for you, certain actions can be done to know if you were able to find your life’s purpose or not. Take the time to list down all of the activities that you do with pleasure. From there, you can determine what could possibly be the true calling of your life as you exist. For instance, if your job performance does not make you feel pleased, take the risks of trying new and interesting things. Remember that even though God closes the door, somewhere He will open a window for you so grab that opportunity. Living a life with purpose can be emanated through a person’s feelings. Obviously, you will feel contentment, ecstatic and energetic every single day. The minute that you no longer feel that way, you better look through the list and determine if something must be added to make life more meaningful. One must also be surrounded with people that will help you become a better person and not drag you down. Do not let people make decisions for you because you are in-charge of your life. It sounds painful but sometimes you really have to say no to family or friends if you think their suggestions will not do you any good. Finally, never ever give up because you do not know the exact purpose of your life. Remember that life goes on and no matter how many times you stumble, you will still be given the chance to get back up and prove that you can fulfill your life’s purpose.
