Excuses!
It’s that time of the year again. I cherish all my translated conversations with my Cuban hermano Yosan. Quick story about Yosan whose son Alejandro goes to school with my son Jaxson.
If anyone could pile on the excuses of what life dealt him you wouldn’t blame him or bat an eye. Left Cuba with his wife around 4 years ago to make his emancipation voyage to the US. Took them nearly a year to get stateside to be able to declare all the while leaving their children with relatives back home. Took around another year until Ale could get here to be with them.
The amount of sacrifice they made to get to a country in order for a better life! All the while now working at least 6 days a week and 10 hours a day all with I guarantee a smile on his face.
No excuses, no complaints. Always giving the glory to God and counting his blessings. It’s called Perspective. Most of us don’t realize how good and how truly easy we really have it as compared to others. But all we do is complain and make excuses for ourselves.
Get rid of your excuses and make s**t happen for your life. No one is going to do it for you and no one is coming to save you but yourself! If you want to reach your goals you have to get of rid your excuses and realize you are truly blessed and have all the time and capabilities to achieve what you want!
Be like Yosan!
