It can be easy to get caught up in "excuse trap". And that is a downward spiral. And where does it get us? Making more excuses, and in general - not getting where we want in work/home/life. Once we take personal responsibility for our actions (or inactions) we can begin to turn that downward spiral around.

Yes, that one does seem to be the most dominant excuse, I'd agree? As for the getting out and staying out of the victim cycle, I think I will have to write some more on that since as soon as I started thinking about it, I am finding I have a lot to say... And thanks as always for your comments Nick, I do appreciate them. Thanks Nick. Yes, that one does seem to be the most dominant excuse, I’d agree?

Excuses abound. The "busy" excuse is the one that seems most common. We need a healthy dose of responsibility and to avoid or work our way through the victim cycle with action. Well put Mike.
