Sunday Journal Prompt

“Excuses are the bricks that build the house of failure.”

 
– Mrs. Weirich
 
 
Veteran second-grade teacher Mrs. Weirich said this to my son Alex, a gifted boy who had mastered excuses to avoid doing more than the bare minimum. He’s 15 now and still considers Mrs. Weirich his favorite teacher. She was on to him and knew he was capable of more than he was giving.


What excuses are you giving to others or telling yourself? How are they holding you back?
