66. What Are My Excuses?

We all make excuses for not doing something, for not saying something, or not taking risks. When you hear yourself making an excuse ask yourself, “Is this true?” Sometimes the excuse is true and you need to heed those concerns. Often, however, an excuse is just that, an excuse. Go out on a limb to attempt something, have the conversation, or take that needed action. You will grow from the expe­rience, regardless of the results.

Are my excuses true and valid?
