Welcome to Darin Daily on Demand, your most trusted resource to help you become better

every day.

Here's your success mentor, Darin Hardy.

Good morning, let me ask you a question.

When you're faced with a choice, do you choose taking hard action or do you choose to make

the easy excuse?

Do you go to the gym or do you say that you're under a deadline and too busy?

Do you order the salad or do you say, you'll be good to get on Monday in order of pizza?

Do you say you're sorry or do you say, hey, it's their fault they started it?

Do you call that scary prospect or do you just send them an email and stick?

Do you fire that employee, client or friend or do you look the other way and hope that

they'll leave on their own?

Do you cook a healthy meal at home or say, you've had a hard day and just order takeout?

Most people choose the easy excuse over the hard action.

How do we know by their results?

People would rather find a good alibi than struggle for an achievement.

So why is this?

The reason is because achievement is temporary and alibi is permanent.

If you achieve today, will you be good enough to achieve tomorrow?

And alibi, however, is fixed and alibi that works today will be just as good tomorrow.

You see, while achievement is awesome, it is also temporary.

As soon as we achieve to be an achiever, we have to achieve again and again and again.
