Excuses or Results?

In this fast-running world, we have no idea what we're doing or where we're going but the thing is, no one has time for anything. 

"Sorry. I couldn't make it. I was busy and didn't have time."

"Oops. I'm busy. You guys carry on."

EXCUSES! EXCUSES!! EXCUSES!!! 

But what do we plan on accomplishing by just giving excuses?

Its easy to give excuses and not finish your project on time- even though you are on an impossible deadline (definitely not based on real events lol) but sucking it up that it was your fault that you wasted an entire semester without doing the project and procrastinated till the last date, takes much of your energy and courage. 

You can easily play the victim card - "I was sick", "My grandpa died", "My laptop lost the data" and whatnot, get creative as possible- or pull yourself together and find the means to finish the work.

Its easy to give excuses for not meeting up with your loved ones for lunch and say that you got stuck at work. Instead, you could make the necessary arrangements at work; maybe finish your tasks prior and go meet with them and show them how much they mean to you.

Honestly, its so much more easier to shake your head on an additional responsibility or a task when you have a busy schedule. But that does not mean that you cannot do it. 

Even though you are already exhausted and still have to sacrifice your sleep, you MAKE time if you really care about it instead of giving excuses.

You leave early in the morning for work/school/college and come home late at night. You can either say that you do not have time to read the bible and pray or, you can surely FIND time in a 24-hour day for the God that created you. 

This is your sign to try and live a life without excuses. 

On a personal note, I would like to appreciate a close friend who is away from home, but somehow makes sure to be there for the team. As I said earlier, its much more convenient to just say no when you have other commitments. Especially when you are away from your place, it takes a mental toll on you. But you didn't and took it on yourself to do the work and even chose to spend the weekend for our short film, when you could have just rested at home or gone out for fun. God sure did see his son spending his time and energy for him rather than giving excuses. 

Well Deserved Mr. Hamilton, Best Editor!

Also, Thank you Sam for sharing your suggestion for today's content. Much appreciated!

He does not want a Perfectionist.

The time has come to revive the undead... Well, HELLO! There is a high chance that nobody remembers this blog (even I have forgotten, lol). I have been wanting to start blogging again for quite some time now- like the hundred other things I have been  wanting  to do. However, something I came across - which I will share in later blogs - gave me the prompt to put my thoughts into action.  In a time of reflection this morning, I was pondering what went wrong along the way. I used to be able to do things. I used to get work done, but now all I do is cut a sorry figure for myself and self-loathing. One thing that I was able to bring to my attention is that if I do something, I try to do it properly or not do it at all. What seemed like a good habit initially became the very thing that started pulling me down. At first, it made me more conscious of what happens if the things that I drive do not reach a good place. Then Procrastination joined the ride, along with Self-doubt, wh...

Consistency is Key!

If there is anything that will take you places that you wanna reach in life, it's nothing but consistency. Expecting overnight results is making a fool of oneself. Continuous effort is what yields the fruit of labour. If you act like a monkey for ten years, you will be a damn good monkey by the end of it(not asking you'll to act like a monkey lol) .   It is the same with anything in life. If you wanna be a guitarist, play the guitar every day. Even if it is for just a few minutes, do it regularly. As days pass you will see a progressive change in your music than when you started playing it.   If you wanna be a writer, write every day. Be it a page or a phrase, do it without a break every day. As days pass you will have started thinking more than you did when you initially began and you will see a visible change in your style of writing. If you wanna build your muscles, exercise regularly. The muscles are not gonna pop in a day. It requires continuous work. If you wanna lose/ g...

... meant and not said, most love is lost.

"You gotta talk it out" "Communication is key" I know blah.. blah Those are things that are easier said than done. But since people keep saying it, shouldn't there be some truth to it though? According to a recent study, 67.5% divorces primarily occur due to poor communication. What's the point of being in love with someone if you don't tell them? People are not mind readers. They need to hear it. Humans need reassurance. "Between what is said and not meant, and meant but not said, most love is lost"                                                                                                                   - Khalil Gibran   Showing your lov...
