Monday Morning Motivator & Some Points to Ponder...

If you really want to do something, you'll find a way. If you don't, you'll find an excuse.
~ Jim Rohn

In the game of life, it's easy to point the finger of blame. We blame our circumstances, we blame malfunctioning office equipment, we blame the economy. We point the finger of blame at everything but ourselves. We are in control of what we do and when and how we do it. If you really want to accomplish something, you WILL find a way.  What's your excuse for not making it happen?

Good morning Michael,

Very well said my friend and thank you for the gentle kick in the pants.  Now all I need to do is remember where I left my saddle.

GOOD MORNING MICHAEL!  Oopsss... what happened to James's comment?  Think it was his fault??!! OK - just kidding - anyway - if I don't accomplish something it's because of something I've done.  Love the ponies! -- G

Michael, so often when there's something to be done, I will pause for a few seconds and just think out loud, 'Who wants to help me do .... ". Once I have that out of my system, I do whatever needs to be done. I always know the answer, but I at least have to ask the question.

Throughout the years I've come to learn that excuses come in varying flavors. But action only comes in one. Just do it!

Hi Michael...Got busy early this morning and still at it.  Maybe it's time to saddle down.  (Now why don't we say that?  We say saddle up.)

Michael - I appreciate this post more than you'll know.  You are much more eloquent than I.  My post had the same message but was 3 times longer and made reference to lions and gazelles killing each other and other stuff.  There is no excuse for not working unless you are really sick, really wealthy or a CPE - certified professional "excusist".  I know many that hold this highly regarded designation.  You can find most of them looking for jobs on Monster.com
