okay you are struggling you're struggling and we're gonna talk about
something really important how to stop making excuses and take responsibility
it's a game changer
do you realize that every time you make an excuse and not
take responsibility you lose power every time you lose power and what power am I
talking about I'm talking about the power to literally create a lifestyle
why would people who use excuses be given a type of power to build and
create a particular lifestyle you just don't have that people who use excuses
actually weaken themselves every time they use an excuse I mean really we
could look at a scale right here and let's say you use an excuse for
something that didn't get done and now what happened is you have taken yourself
from this point and you now have dropped yourself down to this point you're
dropping and then when you try to do better and you don't have the power to
literally follow through with what you said and you're wondering why you're not
strong enough and now you got to go use another excuse well the excuses have to
stop before the personal power can actually increase even when you do
something wrong and you take responsibility for it you come out ahead
and that's what you don't understand is that when you take responsibility even
when you've done something wrong you come out of that actually gaining
personal power because you called yourself out and we're accountable and
you know when people are accountable about something they did wrong they
they actually think that they're they're dropping down because they feel this
sinking feeling but actually accountability builds integrity
accountability built integrity excuses create weakness and I have watched
people use excuse after excuse after excuse and they literally weaken
themselves down to the point to the point that no matter what they try to
build no matter what they try to plan their plans won't hold together because
they don't have the integrity they don't have the integrity inside of them to
actually follow through and hold together their commitments their ideas
their plans their schedule and they just lose control of their life and then they
wonder why they can't make the money they wish they could make all right why
they're having difficulty in their relationships because they lost the
integrity inside of them because every time you say an excuse you drop down in
power an excuse is an avoidance of the truth an excuse is an avoidance of the
truth and an excuse can be seen as a lie an excuse can be seen as a lie now who
goes around saying oh your excuses are actually lies no an excuse is a flowery
way to lie you just come up with this well-crafted reason why something didn't
happen instead of just owning it and just owning the moment and going guess
what I didn't do it guess what I did wrong
guess what now if people really understand personal power and the power
to live a life and your plans work and your ideas come together in your
schedule hold if they understood that they would hold themselves accountable
in every situation even when they're making mistakes I would rather have
integrity and then you know have integrity because I'm talking about yep
I didn't do it right yep I made a mistake yes I cost the
company thousands of dollars but that integrity is what we'll carry
out in front of me and build the life I want to build even when I'm making
mistakes no it just sounds crazy they literally
can have the power to build an awesome life while you're making mistakes but it
means you're being accountable and responsible now those who don't
understand this personal power of integrity they think that excuses are
allowed and they're common it's okay to say all of them but when you start to
lose this personal power and when you start to really search your soul to
figure out why can't I fulfill my commitments why can't I show up why
can't I do these things and you really start looking at it and you realize your
integrity is down and your weaknesses are way down there then you might want
to change but starting today instead of coming up and creating some excuse you
get to like actually own what exactly happened now here's something to pay
attention to here's something to pay attention to you are the one who chooses
and designs how your mind functions and when something goes wrong where does
your mind go does it go to crafting an excuse or does
it go to explaining the actual facts which way does your mind go does it drop
down in trying to figure out oh well I could say this I could say this I could
say this to let me off the hook and if your mind is now naturally trained to go
that way you got yourself a lot of work to build the confidence to literally
start telling the truth to what's been going on it's gonna take you some work
because you can actually literally shape and form your mind to be really good at
excuses that you're so believable in what you're saying where people just
believe your excuses and they let you get away with your excuses
because you're so convinced but here's the problem if you get really
good at convincing other people about your excuses guess what happens to you
you don't even know what the truth is anymore you start to even lose the
ability of seeing truth because you have started a little life at life of excuses
and to tell partial truths and say things that get you off the hook
you actually start to believe these things and you're gonna struggle and
don't worry it's gonna catch up to you it will catch up to you a person with
low integrity can't last very long in a world that demands integrity why do we
have people so many people really struggling now am I saying that these
people are low on integrity what I'm saying is people use too many excuses
and they get away with it and they let their kids use excuses they let their
spouse use excuses and what we need is we need people who actually say I didn't
do it I was late it's not because of traffic it's not because my alarm clock
I miss plan that's the fact I forgot to do that that's the fact not my dog you
may homework or if it wasn't for my spouse or my kids or the weather or the
government I mean people today are getting really
creative in their excuses but then they look at their life and they're
struggling why are they struggling excuses drive you down here and you
start living a subtraction life like you try to do things that things just don't
work what I want to live is this kind of life people of high integrity they have
things work for them but people call that being lucky it's okay they don't
understand it yeah and maybe they'll never understand it but boy I've paid my
lessons I had paid my prices from the lessons I learned of using excuses I
used to be really good at saying excuses and I could
convince anyone that my excuse was real and I actually convinced myself that my
excuses were real so much that I lost integrity with myself
and I could not pick something I wanted to do and actually pull it off
I couldn't make things work and then I just keep telling excuses and I was just
spiraling down and a big mess and then I saw somebody else who was really good at
excuses and I saw how ugly it was I saw their struggles I saw this person and
I'm watching them going what is up with this person why am I so intrigued with
this and then the day happened the day happened that I went oh no I'm doing
what they're doing oh no you've got to be kidding no I'm
not that person oh and I saw it and I was like oh crap I have to fix this I
have to fix this before this goes bad before I get caught how messed up I am
and I started started telling things straight on if I'm late I say I'm late
if I didn't do it I say I didn't do it and I do like not add an extra story to
that uh-huh you just say what is and I start building my integrity I saw how
ugly it was you're gonna get caught you are so gonna get caught in your excuses
and you're gonna you need to change before it makes a mess before it makes a
mess cuz you had no idea that excuses rip you off
you think you're getting away with it but you're cheating yourself and you're
just avoiding telling the truth you're avoiding being accountable you're
avoiding being responsible and you're cheating and cheaters
and I caught myself cheating in telling excuses but I changed I changed I
changed and I tell you what it's on my mind all the time I'm just like okay how
am I gonna explain this don't make this flowery don't make this
an excuse just own it Kirk own it own it I'm gonna own it just own it and when I
catch myself saying the excuse oh crap right there in the moment I better fix
it if you catch yourself using an excuse to try to get off and try to get away
from this and have less of a comeback as you you get to fix it right in the
moment and just go okay I need to own this
yesterday I caught myself I had
this weird thing happened it was intense there's this moment somebody asked me a
question and I rattled off this response and then half an hour later I went wait
a second I felt a shift gown why do I feel a
shift down what happened I started reviewing like what oh crap I
totally gave an excuse so I go back to the person and I go hey I need to
explain myself and I totally just laid it out there how I've manufactured this
excuse and they bought the excuse I could have got away with it but I felt
my personal power shift down I just like I know I can't afford that I love my
life and I caught myself I was like you're kidding
and so I owned up told them explained it to him I asked for forgiveness they told
me they forgive me and in the moment of clearing it up I felt boom it comes back
oh good okay I'm back okay I'm good I'm good I'm
