Dick-idiom # 61 - Fact of Life - Excuses

"Dick-idioms" are little philosophical gems I have penned over the years. The numbering sequence is simply my way to identify them.

 

 
“DICK-IDIOM # 61”
 
 
FACT OF LIFE
EXCUSES
 
“Too often we look for an excuse,
rather than a reason.”
 
To wit:
 
It’s too far,
too late,
too soon,
too close,
too painful,
or too difficult.
 
Rather than
 
I can
And
I shall.”

An excuse is the skin of a reason stuffed with a lie.

It's a good thing you believe this or 10.9 miles would probably have been too far. :)
