Somewhere along the line people have been fooled into believing that life is supposed 
to be easy. I often work 12+ hour days, and there are weeks when I work 7 days. I 
perform my own workout at the crack of dawn. Do I enjoy waking up at 4AM? Not 
really, but I get it done. I have a wife and son, with another on the way next month. I 
also have dogs, house work, work in the yard, etc. I’m beyond busy. Oh well, that’s 
life. I won’t cry about it and feel bad for myself. I won’t rush to the local fast food 
restaurant. I cook much of my food ahead of time. I make time. I find a way. Most 
people aren’t trying to make time. They aren’t making an effort. 
We need to stop making excuses for others. People need to stop feeling bad for 
themselves. Life is tough. That’s a fact. There are good times and bad times. There are 
action takers and action fakers. There are ultra busy professionals who make time for 
fitness, while others don’t. We all have options, and we all make our own decisions. If 
someone has made poor decisions, I won’t sugarcoat it and console them with more 
excuses.
