Guys today I have to say I'm putting my foot down.

Enough already!

Stop making lame as excuses for their bad behavior.

Okay? stop.

So yeah, if you didn't absorb that, today we're tackling the topic of excuses.

Making excuses for someone's poor behavior just because you really like them,

because you're really attracted to them,

or because you want to keep the peace and not go through a breakup.

You know when you've made excuses for someone who did not

deserve it. And if you're honest with yourself you knew at the time that what you were

cosine on whatever you were saying so that you could feel better about still going along with this person and they're bullshit

Oh yeah, you knew that too

That's sad you can't change yesterday

But you can absolutely change your ways going forward. It's time to put a stop to excuses once and for all, because when you make excuses for someone's behavior you're just

giving desperate. You're literally allowing them to walk all over you. Do you

really want to be giving desperate?
