Excuses

Over the years, everyone I am sure has heard a vast collection of excuses from colleagues, siblings, friends, your children… the list is long.

Some things are scary but once you make that leap once you believe that this step is a good step forward for you, for your future you must bring up the courage to move forward! Take the risk! Make that leap!

Move into a new city, go travelling, change that job make an impact! Never let fear hold you back, never let people hold you back and never let people put you down!

Too often people don’t have the guts to face the truth or admit to themselves that they are afraid or worried. And I know if they only dared to talk about it, every issue would be solvable.

Fear of moving away from your friends, parents and partner for a while – fear of being alone, fear of being unemployed, fear of getting lost in any kind of way.

Everything, once it has been identified and addressed, can be resolved and once you have overcome the hurdle you will not only be proud but you will find it has made you stronger for the next challenge!

I would like to give you one of my favourite excuses of all times – as sometimes they can make you smiles:

Our French intern from over 10 years ago was over 1 hour late in the morning: “Astriiiid you vill not beliv ziz… I caught ze bus ziz morrning, and ze bus got stopped by a dinosaur!! yyyeeeeess! A Dinosaaaaur! And I ‘ad to rruuun and like ziz... I culd not be on time, you see... I am so so sorrryy!!” 😊
