Do you justify or excuse?

If you feel the need to justify your actions, you might want to look at the action itself. Any action that requires justification to others or yourself needs to be carefully examined. Actions that are done with integrity, honesty and compassion do not need justification, they stand on their own. The same goes for excuses, do you find yourself excusing your behavior to yourself or others? Choose not to let excuses and justification keep you from all that is possible. Justification and excuses are part of a negative mind-set. You cannot be your best without choosing to change that mind-set.
