No. Not anymore.
Not a single one I need. No more excuses, no more options. No more "I will start tomorrow." No more flaws to be ignored. Options changed into necessity and decisions when excuses were avoided. Everything started falling into place when I accepted myself, ignoring thoughts that defended failures.
With time, acceptance vanishes all excuses and their notions.
I thought to write. I hid behind hesitation. I wrote blogs. I hid behind blankness. I tried improving myself. I hid behind flaws. At last, I decided to stop making excuses and grow. I never tried to force any of my thoughts to justify themselves with reasons that had no worth. Nor did I skip my streak, effort, or any day because of an excuse.
I acknowledge them to ignore them. I acknowledge them so that I do not carry such notions into the future. When things don't go well, it's quite natural not to accept failure and to defend ourselves. But failure isn't the end. It's the start of learning something. It's the beginning of improving flaws and becoming better.
The permanence of excuses doesn't let effort reach its full potential.
Excuses are a trick to avoid ourselves. Avoiding our thoughts, perspectives, and opportunities to grow. Ignoring this trick isn't an easy task. But once acknowledged, hope directs growth again. Hope that had been buried beneath comfortable thoughts.
Awareness and excuses have always been a contrast to me. One makes me uncomfortable with the truth, while the other makes me comfortable with lies.
Excuses are good when avoided for growth. When avoided while seeking improvement. When avoided while thinking to evolve. I ignored them for myself. I told myself that if I wouldn't improve, I wouldn't be true to who I am.
Voice out. Avoid excuses. Evolve.
