It takes a certain level of awareness to stop making excuses and letting our actions make or break our ego.
And we can get to that level of awareness by doing some inner work.
Let’s get started!
Excuses
An excuse is an attempt to lessen the blame, defend, or justify a fault or offense.
Ever try to talk to someone about an issue and all they do is list the “reasons why” said thing happened the way it did. One big story time.
When really all you want is for them to just acknowledge their mistake and promise to do and be better.
That being said, we don’t gotta explain why something happened the way it did, because the details make no difference.
Take responsibility quickly and quietly. If you messed up, own it and promise to work hard to improve.
Things don’t have to be in perfect alignment for us to take small steps to be a better person. We can start with where we are today. What can we do right now?
“I start from where the world is, as it is, not as I would like it to be.”
– Saul Alinsky
Ego
An ego is a person’s sense of self-esteem or self-importance.
When we do or don’t do something, it’s easy to let that affect how we feel about ourselves.
Maybe you accomplished something big – does that make you feel better than others?
Maybe you said you’d do something and didn’t – does that make you feel shitty about yourself?
We don’t wanna get too high or too low. Whatever happens, let’s allow it to be a small thing. Good and bad.
“Be satisfied with even the smallest step forward and regard the outcome as a small thing.”
– Marcus Aurelius
