Excuses Stink

Excuses are the nails used to build a house of failure.

— Don Wilder and Bill Rechin —

I once had a friend whom I had to separate from because he was the greatest at making excuses and re-writing history in order to rationalize his mess-ups.

This type of behavior drives me crazy because I used to be the best at it. Alcoholics, drug addicts and narcissists are the best at making excuses, re-writing history, manipulating others and rationalizing stupid behavior.


“I screwed up,” trumps “yeah but,” every day of the week.

Like my college basketball coach always used to remind us, “Excuses are like our hind ends, we all got ’em and they all stink.”

THE BIGGEST EXCUSE OF ALL TIME–Genesis 3:12, “The man said, ‘The woman whom you gave to be with me, she gave me fruit of the tree, and I ate.’”

Fess up
