Excuses, while comforting in the moment, are the barriers that keep us from our fullest potential. Let us instead choose to rise with intention, to move with purpose, and to embrace every opportunity to be the best versions of ourselves. In the discipline of daily movement, prayer, and mindfulness, we find not just predictable peace, but a profound strength that propels us beyond the confines of excuses, into a realm of limitless growth and grace, hope, resilience and showing up as the best version of myself.
