I finally figured it out

Hi friend, how are you?

Do you know that psychologists say that people bond more over things that they don’t like rather than common interests? Does 2 people not liking the same thing make it a common interest? Maybe

Not in the negative way of dislike, but knowing what you want by way of knowing what you don’t want, need or will tolerate

Saturday morning I had a unfortunate encounter with a woman, her and her husband were both retired, nice people, the lady is a friend of friends
She rents a booth on Saturday mornings selling stuff at a local market
Well just so happened this last weekend was a big event going on that I had a plug in to where she could of sold all of her stuff in a snap. Like show up, sell it to the new willing buyer and leave. Andddd turn a good profit

As I listened to her tell me how our mutual friend told her this is a great thing she made excuse after excuse as to why she couldn’t. And tried asking me for alternative ideas that would make it easier on her. Really? Driving 15 -20 minutes to drop the stuff off and make your 2K back is to much work? Amazon has same day delivery for free, the buyer would have nothing to lose by ordering from them

A while back I wrote a series about protecting your peace, and how I had limited time with and even eliminated access to a few different people
If I put all of the reasons into a blender the one single commonality they all had is that they make excuses. I cannot stand being around people that make excuses
They may be nice, great and wonderful people. But if someone doesn’t take accountability for themselves, they’ll have no regard for how they’ll treat you or others

When I was in Basic Training ( Boot Camp ) the drill sergeants would shout “What’s the maximum effective range of an excuse????”
We would then shout back “Zero meters drill sergeanttttttt!!!!!!!!!”

We aren’t in the ARMY here, were in “The World”
In the military excuses can get you hurt, if not worse
In real life excuses get you no where fast

This year I’m on track with a few of my goals
The one of weight loss not so much
Yeah I’ve dropped a few pounds, but no where near what I want to be at yet
Got up and walked this morning already
Supperrrrrr Stooooooooooooooooooooooked that I have an appt again later today at that building I told you guys about last month, the one with the steps 😁
Not going to do 29 flights today then unable to walk for 2 days again…. lol…
Only going to do 9 flights today
Double Extra Cool Thing??
I get to go back this coming Wednesday, going to walk up those same 9 flights again
Wish I had stuff there every day to do this!!!

Life is like those steps, to get to the top we can’t use excuses

You know the saying “Never miss a Monday workout”

Invest wisely, live charitably and be well
