Excuses

Hello! Hello!
What's up? Is everything alright?
It's all fine here!
And as usual, my brain is actively working and it doesn't let me in peace until I write something here.
So, let's go!

Once, I participated in an event for mother's day celebration. The organizers were 2 friends of mine and me. They are a physiotherapist and a masseuse. And there's me! I'm a nutritionist!
Well, well, well.. as the two of the three participants had personal problems, we had just one participant. But we dealt with that very well. ahahahahh
At first, the focus was on this one and only participant. But we realized that the masseuse had more issues to be treated.
She has a problem with her self steem. If you see her, you'll see how beautiful she is but she told us that she has difficulties in looking at her in the mirror.
Then, I was wondering how hard it is to accept the own beauty. Have you ever thought about it? I don't know if we can say that it's humbleness or lack of perception.... I can't figure it out.
She gave many excuses to avoid the acceptance of our compliments.

On the other hand, we have the physiotherapist who doesn't see that her difficulty is her lack of organization. She's very disorganized when it's about her. And when we try to give her some advice, she gives excuses saying that she has no time, she has to think of ideas to be known in our city and get more clients. She has many abilities, she listens to her patients but herself. In my humble opinion, if she has a deep look into herself, she will find ways of professional progress easily.

The way we look at us, the obstacles we put in front of us cause a high emotional pain that drains our energy every single day and night.
The sleep gets bad, the tiredness is quite unbearable, we have no patience with others and ourselves and everything sounds wrong and annoying!
And we keep giving excuses instead of sit, stop and try to find solutions.
I totally understand that it's extremely desperating when we face our struggles. It seems that we will never get rid of all those issues we have to deal with. We will wish to vanish, disappear, go away forever!
But even if we do that, the problems won't be solved! They will stilll be with us, so I think it's not a choice to be gone!

I also understand that sometimes giving excuses sound like a relief. But it lasts seconds! And in seconds it's also possible to decide to change and follow a new path with renewed motivation and let the power grow inside of us. Also let this power make us feel stronger and ready to win evry step we have ahead of us.
It happens when I attend people at work. They come to me with some health complaints and every suggestion I give, there are zillions of excuses.
But the one who decides to make a move and change their habits, they come back for a new consultation and they say how happy they are feeling because of the changes in their lives. And that's so motivating!
I used to give a lot of excuses, for everything! But once I decided not to, life started flowing and it started to show me solutions for some issues I had.
And I wish more people could try to move forward and start thinking how powerful they can become as soon as they stop feeling pity for themselves. And taste victory!
Feel victorious because they could change the habit of giving excuses.
I wish you a life full of success as long as you want it!
What will you choose? Give an excuse or the pleasure of being who you really are and do what you really want to do?
xoxo
