MAKE CHOICES, NOT EXCUSES

I believe that accountability is the basis of all meaningful human achievement. I also believe that our first accountability is to the person we see in the bathroom mirror each morning. No, it’s not always easy for us to start there, but it is the very best place for us to start, and it’s much, much better to start with accountability to ourselves than it is to start with an excuse. Ultimately, accountability comes down to choices, the only things we truly own. Everything else that we think we own can be taken away—our home, our cars, all of our possessions. Even the people we know and love can leave us. At the end of the day, the only thing that will remain will be the choices we have made. To get the most out of this book, make choices, not excuses, about how to implement and practice what you encounter here. Conscious choices are the opposite of excuses; they are one of the hallmarks of an excuse free life.
