Excuses versus reasons
Is an excuse different from a reason? I think so.
Excuses seem like a mechanism for eschewing responsibility. When you give an excuse, you’re saying, “It’s not my fault, there’s nothing I could have done.”
Reasons are an observation of what occurred. You identify a cause so you can learn from it. “Here’s why that happened and what I will do differently next time.”
Which do you use when things go wrong?
Hopefully, my questions cause you to reflect on your own thinking, relationships or choices. Maybe I even inspire you to make positive changes.
