Quotes to ponder:
"Excuses are lies we tell ourselves to avoid dealing with unpleasant truths."
"Whenever you hear yourself making this statement, you know deep down it isn’t the truth."
"It’s easier on our egos to blame failure on external, uncontrollable factors such as lack of time, information, or resources."
