EPISODE 19: THE WEIGHT OF EXCUSES
from The Daily Discipline from Project MNDST · host Tom Carter
Every excuse you make weighs more than the work you're avoiding. In this episode, we explore why avoidance doesn't eliminate suffering—it delays and multiplies it.Drawing from Epictetus, Marcus Aurelius, David Goggins, and Kobe Bryant, we examine the accountability mirror and why we delay tasks not because they're hard, but because of how we feel about them.Today's Practice: Write down one thing you've been avoiding. Ask yourself: What story am I telling myself about why I can't do this? Pick up the task. Put down the story.Master the mind. Your life will follow.
