Cooking with Michelle
This week I have some
famous Louisiana

combination of Spanish

Time misuse- The Great Excuse
by Rudy Nan, Unity of the Valley
Time misuse, the great
excuse. Have you ever
wondered why you
sometimes feel in a rut,
why things seem to pile
up on you? And you
don’t know why. It could
just be that you are
misusing time, and my
friend, that is the
greatest excuse you can
come up with. For ex-
ample, it usually goes
something like this:
“Why don’t you finish
that painting you started
two years ago?’’ “Oh, I
would, but I don’t have
time.’’ Or, “Yes, but I
don’t have the right
color paints.’’
An example, “Why
don’t you try a new
hairdresser?’’ “Oh, I
would but they are all
the same.” “Well, try
one anyway, it can’t do
any harm.” “Yes, but I
hate to start out again
with someone I don’t
know.”
This the time waster-
“Yes, but” It leads to “I
can’t, I don’t have time, I
wuld but it won’t make
any difference
anyway.”
Analyze why you are
using “Yes, but.” - by
trying to find all the
reasons you won’t do
anything; by trying to
reason with yourself
why you can’t do this or
that.
“Yes, but” is defending
yourself for not acting.
“Yes, but” is a lifetime
of excuses.
When one knows what
he is doing it, he need
not defend himself in
any area in his life. The
only time we need to
defend anything is
WHEN WE ARE NOT
SURE WE ARE RIGHT,
so we use the first thing
at hand and that is an
excuse.
This the first month of
a new year. Start today
and make you mind that
you are not going to ex-
cuse yourself by
misusing time. You can
come up with something
a lot better and more
concrete than “Yes, but,
I can’t, I won’t, or I don’t
have time” You do have
time.
You need no excuses at
all. Eliminate excuses
from your life. This will
enable you to use time.
Then, each night before
you retire, you will won-
der “I had a beautiful
day - I wonder where
the day went. I accom-
plished so much and I
will accomplish even
more tomorrow.” NO
REGRETS, NO EX-
CUSES. PUT YOURSELF
INTO LIFE.
