Giving Excuses | by Madisyn Taylor Excuses may seem like rational reasons for us not to do something, but if we're not careful we can allow them to keep us from reaching our goals. Too often we accept our excuses as reasons why we cannot accomplish what we set out to do, and instead of finding alternatives we give up. But if we can be honest with ourselves and take responsibility for our choices, we will begin to notice that we no longer give excuses. When we keep our minds focused on our goals, we will find that excuses fade away in the light of our priorities, and issues become challenges that can help us become wiser and stronger. Sometimes we may give others excuses rather than be fully honest. We may think it is kind to tell someone we are willing to do something with them, whether work or play, but then keep putting them off. This diverts our energy into keeping the truth at a distance while continuing a falsehood. But when we can take responsibility for our feelings and express them honestly, but gently, the other person is free to find someone who is better suited to accompany them while we are free to pursue the things we like. When we can do this, our energy can be invested in building better lives and relationships. There's another way in which excuses rob us of energy--and that is in the power of our thoughts and words. If we find ourselves in a situation, for example, where we are being asked for a financial contribution but we use the excuse that we can't afford it, we create and attract lack and limitation into our lives. The same goes for seemingly simple things like pretending to not feel well or any other false statement. We may think that excuses make things easier, but they complicate matters with smokescreens. When we can commit to our priorities, take responsibility for our choices, and communicate them honestly to others, there will be no need to make excuses, and we will have much more energy to dedicate to all the things we love. | DailyOM Course Spotlight by Sara Wiseman Each of us is born with some degree of psychic ability or intuition, whether we are aware of it or not. The feeling you get when you sense that a situation you are entering into is unsafe, or that voice in your head that you always wish you had listened to after the fact, are examples of how we all use (or potentially ignore) intuition on a regular basis. Learning to sharpen your intuition and realize your psychic potential is not difficult, tricky or available only to a certain few. It's so effortless and accessible that anyone can do it. Simply by switching yourself "on" through psychic and spiritual practices, you can tap into intuitive information that is crystal-clear and easy to understand. There are several ways to tune into messages and information that can help guide you. In this course, you will build upon your natural sense of intuition by learning the four core psychic abilities from a spiritual perspective. You'll focus on one concept/lesson per week, with both written and guided audio meditations that will walk you through each concept. Top 10 DailyOM Courses 1. 21 Day Total Goddess Workout 2.
