Welcome to the Game Changer Life.

I'm Dave Anderson, and it's time for our Friday.

Two-minute warning edition, posted on Fridays to give you something to think about watch for or do

to finish your week strong and maximize. I'm talking about ringing it out, baby, your weekend. I will

also include an occasional red zone rant, but not today, although I could have because this topic

would have fit, but I'm going to be kinder and gentler, but I'm going to still hit some of you

right between the eyes. Here's the topic I want to talk about, what's your excuse? I mean, which one are you known for? What's your go-to? Some people have the same excuse they go to over and over again. They're just too close to it to recognize it. Let me help jiggle your memory a little bit just in case we gotta weed this stuff out man maybe it's something like i don't have the time

oh really maybe the fact was it's just not important enough to you or maybe it's

this one it's whoever's fault you can blame things you can blame people but you're always blaming

someone else or something else really is it really everybody else's fault or maybe you just could

have done something better or made a better decision how How about this one? My boss is an idiot. Maybe he is. Maybe you're the idiot. Maybe it's somewhere in between. Think about this, even if he or she is an idiot. What that you can control and effect on the job? Could you be doing better every day to marginalize their idiocy? Or maybe it's this, it's just too hard. Really, is it too hard?

Are you just not good enough? Is it because you haven't gotten any better because you're

not working on yourself? Maybe that's what's really going on here. Or how about this? I just have

bad luck. Really? Maybe you have bad luck. I doubt it. Maybe you just make lousy decisions.

I mean, let's just face this stuff and get real. Or whatever else excuse. These are just a handful, right? But let me just tell you something. Go ahead and keep making it. Keep leaning on it. Keep going to it. And get used to wherever you're at in life because you're not going any further. You cannot make excuses and progress simultaneously.

Decide which you want.

Excuses. you're at in life because you're not going any further. You cannot make excuses and progress simultaneously.

Decide which you want. Excuses or progress. You can't have both. Let me just close by saying this.

You may not be able to add years to your life. You can add life to your years. And you can start now

by giving up your excuses. Stop being lived. Start living. The game change your life.

And we'll talk again real soon. You know, and you know, and the Thank you.
