If you want to truly eliminate excuses from your life, it takes a level of self awareness beyond "normal".

Sometimes things ARE beyond our control. BUT- Those times are RARE. 

AND- in the RARE circumstance where something truly IS beyond our control- 

WE STILL CONTROL HOW WE RESPOND TO IT.

Which is even more critical than being perfect in the first place!

Because no one ever remembers the person who had an easy life--

They remember the bad a**es who had tough s*** happen to them and responded with aggressive action.
