There are always ways to make it around obsticals and to successed with any challenge. There are no excuese for anything. I under stand sometime stuff happens but making excuses for everything is just laziness. Lifes to short to not live to the fullest and if you don't try your hardest you are living the "fullest" life you can live.
Wow! Isn't that the truth? I have been known to be my own worst enemy. For a long time, I made excuses for my less than lovely character traits and figured it was in my "genes." I've since learned that life is what you make it, and sometimes you have to get out of your own way and go for what makes you happy. Good things truly do come to good people :) Speaking of good people, it was so nice to see those of you who came back last week. I truly miss you guys (and gals), but I am soooo proud of what I see and hear. Ms. Carr
I feel that excuses can be used in many different situations. When it comes to something that happened in your life that is difficult to go through, excuses are the hearts way of trying to make things better. When it comes to day-to-day life, excuses are used just to get out of something or to get out of putting effort into doing something, or being with someone. Excuses in my life definately come from me being lazy. When we are lazy we try to get out of things and that can lead to missing out on life. Being lazy can cause us to miss some of the funniest, happiest, and greatest moments of our lives. So all in all excuses can come from the heart, but mostly they come from being lazy.

As humans I think it is our job to say an excuse. No matter what, we can't help it. We just say things and do things to make life a little bit easier for us. I agree with caroline, excuses is another way of calling yourself lazy. They hold you back and you don't always reach your full potential. Excuses are a way of life, but it is your choice on when you decide to use it or not.
I definitly agree with Sarah, as humans we use excuses to make life little bit easier. We can't help it, it's human nature, everyone makes excuses. These obsticles are like brick walls and their there for a reason. They give us a chance to show us how badly we want something. Making an excuse only shows how lazy you are. Like Caroline said life is short and you should live it to it's fullest.
Well im sure everyone has things that get in the way of them reaching there full potential, no matter if its something in the inside or out. Maby something bad has happened in there life or there not happy with their appearence, but the only way to get passed these things is to fight through them trying to think of ways that can get them passed there old expeiriences or get passed what people think about the way they look and just try the be the best they can be.
This past year has been a crazy roller-coaster ride, and I wasn't aware of this beautiful concept that stems from that quote. I wish then I knew what I know now. I was too busy blaming my Dad for my seemingly ruined life when I first had to move to Long Island; new home, new family to please, new school, new friends to make, and new "foster parents" to live with. It was rough and instead of self-destructing, I should have trusted myself and had a little more faith. Maybe if I just put in a little more effort, if I had just accepted some advice instead of trying to prove that I didn’t need anyone, maybe things would be different now. This is probably going to be really long, but since 8th grade, there hasn’t been a place where I felt safe and able to vent. Well now I’m in another new place headed for another new school in Goshen, NY. I’m physically and emotionally exhausted from starting over and things go well for a while and then it’s just “same shit different day” all over again. The hell I’ve been put through just could have been maybe a little easier if I had the right mind-set and wasn’t so pessimistic. I’ll admit that there were definitely some unnecessary obstacles that I indirectly created. I still remember telling Mr. G how there is one exception to “there are no guarantees in life”: karma. I’ve relied on karma to help me and it’s frustrating because I really am trying my hardest to put the pieces of my life and heart back together and move on and I just can’t catch a break. It’s so hard for me to believe in anything anymore. I just need to, as hard as it may be, stop looking for excuses and short-cuts and just take responsibility for my life because I'm only hurting myself by being resentful and pretending to be unaware. It’s a crazy vicious cycle. I don’t know what to do. Every time I try to convince myself of a way to move forward my broken heart is so quick to hold be back. My head & heart tell me two different things. But I’m going to take this quote and think about it as much as I can to use it as inspiration to better myself. I’m happy to see this blog isn’t just wasting away, because that class is still very important to me.
