I am confident you have your favourite excuse story, that hilarious one.
Mine dates a few years back - a rural grocery store manager recounts Her experience:
"I had a very reliant employee - she was working at the cashier. And, then, for no reason, she disappeared, only to return to work three days later. Of course, I was outraged yet curious to discover what had happened. So, I asked Her to give me an explanation. The response blew my lid off. She explained that Her boyfriend was leaving for a contract in a distant country, and they had sex; non-stop for three days because She would be missing him! Well, I was speechless, didn't know how to respond."
Indeed a bizarre case! You can't fire Her for lying or reprimand her for not telling the truth, yet the excuse was outrageous.
What would you love to do, yet only come out with an excuse?
Reasons why you're still not doing what you love:
⠀
- No motivation. It seems that you want self-realization, but everything is good as it is - a caring husband, obedient children, a stable job with a salary once a month, etc.
- No self-confidence. You think that you do not have anything special, that you have no talents, knowledge, etc.
- Laziness. You have to work hard to be successful. Chatting with friends on social networks or watching another series is much easier.
- Fears. There are so many of these fears - fear of public opinion, fear of failure, fear of starting something new, fear of success (yes, that kind of fear exists too!)
- No support. Everyone around you says that your problems are insignificant. So just keep working at your stable job. You don't need to change anything.
- Bad past experience. You've tried something before, and it didn't work out. And now you think you won't do it again.
- You need to figure out what you want to do. You seem to have a wish and support, but you need to figure out what to do.
- Daily routine. You have no energy for anything by the time you come home from work, clean the house, and do everything you must do.
- You don't know how to make money at something you like. Or you think you can only make a little money at it.
The most incomprehensible part about humans: We are made for comfort, yet desire lofty goals, Hencewhy - the excuse comes first, then, perhaps in a distant future, only an action.
