You are an adult

What if you didn’t make excuses?

I see people who are undisciplined, asking people who are disciplined, how they do it.
“How do you eat healthy?”
“How do you make time for the gym?”
“How do you speak up in meetings?”
“How do you do hard things?”

The answer isn’t difficult. They make the decision, and then they follow through. No excuses. No justifications. No blaming others or circumstances. Life isn’t set up perfectly for them to win and make progress. They just decide to. And you can too.

You can eat the healthy meal or the unhealthy meal.
You can go to bed at a decent hour or you can stay up too late.
You can read a book or you can scroll social media.
You can have the hard conversation or you can avoid it.

You agency. You have control. Act like it.
