Happy Father's Day to all the men who show up to provide for their families, I hope you remember to enjoy spending time with your children this weekend as you have earned it. Don't let others rob you of YOUR time, they will still be there on Monday, but your children will continue to grow older every day whether you participate in their lives or not. Remember to show them you care by spending your time in ways YOU choose that create happiness. Be the example of balance you want them to experience now, as well as learn how to treat their off-time and their own children when those days come.
That means you have to start recognizing the excuses you allow to make up your day, and on a deeper level, your character. Each day, you wake up with the freewill to choose every action you make, or disregard. Stop making excuses and start focusing on executing. If you want something to happen, make a plan you can follow that will make it achievable. The plan isn't meant to be the only way to obtain your success, but to serve as a reminder of the goal and possible checkpoints if you find yourself straying from your motivation and commitment before completion.
Don't say you are going to do things you know you have no intention of ever doing, that only makes your word that much weaker and unreliable. Justifying your excuses won't get you any closer to actually accomplishing your goals, it only wastes your precious time. Allowing others to overpower your values in order to fit in is ingenuine to who you are and will wear you down to someone unrecognizable. YOU have to be the one to stand your ground when it comes to your beliefs. If they truly love you, they will accept you even if they do not agree with your values. If they choose not to support your decisions, then maybe it is best to do it without them involved.
Commitments are hard enough without justification of all the ways you can cheat yourself. Remove those obstacles now if you really care about seeing the mission accomplished. QUIT CHEATING ON YOU. Separate yourself from the people who don't share your values of success and enthusiasm for betterment as a human being. Discover those excuses you keep making, face them head-on so that you can eradicate those shady justifications, and move on intentionally towards the goals you desire most.
