Description

Everyone makes excuses — but few people understand why. In this week’s episode, I break down the real reasons we justify, delay, or distort the truth when life gets hard — and how to stop doing it.

From laziness and shortcuts to pride and self-deception, excuses are never just words. They reveal the gaps in our character.

You’ll learn how to spot the five root causes of excuses — and how the four cardinal virtues (prudence, justice, fortitude, and temperance) are the antidotes that lead to freedom and growth.

If you want peace, purpose, and progress, it starts with one thing: stop making excuses and start mastering yourself.
