If It's Important...

The walls at my job are full of inspirational posters...I honestly don't know why. I mean, I know why, but to at least 80% of the people there, it is just a job...a means to an end, not a long term career choice. Translation? It's not that serious. LoL.

But anyway, one of the teams actually made their own banner. It was very well put together and used beautiful  colors. It said, 

If it is important to you, you will find a way. 

If it is not important to you, then you will find an excuse.

I don't know who the originator of the quote is, but I find it to be quite true. When something really matters to you, it doesn't matter what it takes, you will find a way to make it happen. 

It reminds me of my decision to go back to school. Up until the point where I made that decision, it was not a priority for me. So, whenever people would question me about when I was going back to school, out would roll the excuses..." I don't have time. I don't have the money. I'm not ready." Blah, blah, blah. But guess what? When finishing my degree became important to me, the excuses went bye-bye. I still work full time, but I'm making the time. I applied for financial aid, and guess what? 100% of my tuition, including my books, is covered. 

I guess I said all of that to ask, "What is important to you? What are you making excuses for?" What in your life has taken the low place on the totem pole, that should be a little closer to the top? 

What do we (myself included) need to stop making excuses about and get out there and accomplish, whatever it takes?

Just a little food for thought for you, Blog Land, on this dreary Wednesday afternoon.
