Excuses Get Us Nowhere

Many people believe excuses have value. But as any authority on how to succeed has pointed out, no one has ever achieved success via the avenue of excuses. Recovering people do not need to be taught this. If a Nobel Prize were given for excellence in rationalization, addicts would win hands down. No one can concoct as many excuses as an addict. These champions also testify to the futility of even the most ingenious excuse. Good performance and responsible behavior are what succeed. Poor performance and irresponsibility fail. Recovering people know this, but a reminder never hurts.
