Welcome to the Gritty Podcast. I'm Brian Call. Today's podcast is with my friend Mark Livesey,

0:06.1

and I'm calling this episode Stop Making Excuses. And I've got a quote from Jocko Willink that I'm

0:13.0

going to play right now because I think it pretty much summarizes the topic of this discussion.

0:19.9

Your excuses will destroy you and take everything that you ever wanted from you if you let them.

0:26.3

When your excuses make you feel a little bit better about the fact that you didn't execute on what you

0:33.0

needed to execute on, then they can make you feel better.

0:36.1

But they're not helping you.

0:38.3

They're not helping you at all. This went wrong. This failed. Didn't accomplish this. And it's not the fault of my boss.

0:45.1

It's not the fault of my girlfriend. Not the fault of my parents. It's not the fault of the weather.

0:49.6

It's my fault. And I'm going to take ownership of it and I'm going to fix it. That's what extreme

0:53.9

ownership is. Because when you look around at your life and you look around at your job and your

1:00.7

financial situation and your relationship and your physical health, and when you look at all those

1:05.6

things and all the problems that you may have with those things and you say the reason I have

1:10.5

all those problems

1:11.7

is because of me, that can hurt. That can sting. And a lot of times our ego rejects that and makes

1:22.3

excuses and lies. And then we don't have to change anything. And then nothing changes.

1:29.2

When the excuses all go away and people can actually confront the fact that this is all because of me,

1:36.0

it hurts, but is also unbelievably empowering because the more discipline you have in your life,

1:43.9

the more freedom you will end up with.

1:47.1

Jocko is right on with that quote. Mark and I basically dive into this subject about excuses and how

1:54.3

they're self-limiting and they wreck the dreams and the goals of young men and women. And it's a very worthwhile discussion. So I hope you

2:05.4

enjoy it. Let us know what you think about the episode in the comment section of the YouTube
