COUNTING THE COST It’s interesting how today my alarm went off at 3:45 a.m. It reminded me of a decision I made at the beginning of the year—to go back to school. That journey was both stressful and fulfilling. The early morning alarm brought back memories of the cost I had to pay to attend those classes.

I choose to call them the little foxes, the excuses we make,some of us it's procrastination. Truth is there will always be a reason as to why you are not going to do something.And guess what your excuse is valid and it's true. It's true you don't have the money,it's true you don't have time,it's true finances are an issues,it's true the weather is not favorable to go where you wanted to go.But then what.....After giving all this excuses then what? You have to choose it's either the excuses or progress,but you can't have both.So choose do you want the emotions or progress?
