Excuses, Excuses

Tufts nailed it with this commercial that shows how it's easier to make excuses for why we're not doing something than to actually following through. Hey, we've all been there. If you're having trouble gettin' it done:

1. Ask Why. Reflect on why you want to experience the benefit of the effort. Think of your better health, your shiny new job, or whatever it is that lies on the other side of your effort.
2. Ask Who. Think of other people who might benefit from your investment. If the gent in the video did exercise regularly, he'd likely come home with more energy and a better attitude, which she'd certainly appreciate. If you won't follow through for yourself, will you follow through for someone else?

As the late, great Jim Rohn once said, "Doing the right thing is easy. Doing the wrong thing is even easier."
