Stop Making Excuses
“It’s not your fault but it’s still your problem.” — Leila Hormozi
Minute Read: Stop Making Excuses
Excuses are tricky because they can be valid.
And that’s exactly why they’re so deadly.
Because a valid excuse feels like a moral win. Like you deserve a pass.
But reality doesn’t give refunds.
Even if it’s not your fault, it’s still your problem.
You still have to do something about it. Or you can wait… and keep not living the life you want until you die.
And then what?
People will say, “Yeah, he had an excuse.”
Cool. That’s not a legacy. That’s a receipt for mediocrity.
That’s what excuses really are: A permission slip to stay the same while still wanting respect.
And here’s the punchline: nobody actually believes your excuses except you.
People might nod to be polite.
The people who love you might comfort you.
Your mom might still think you’re special.
But YOU won’t respect YOU enough to take care of what needs to be done.
Because you’ll always know you could’ve done more. You could’ve done better. That’s the part that keeps you up.
So here’s the standard that fixes it:
“I will do what is required.”
Not “I’ll do my best.”
Because your best right now might be weak.
Required is objective. Required is non-negotiable.
And the good news is your best can get better… as long as you keep showing up and doing what’s required.
Happy Friday, hope we all crush our goals this weekend.
