They are roadblocks we ourselves put in front of us that prevent us from reaching goals that are otherwise attainable. Excuses for not achieving something is different from reasons for not achieving something in that excuses can be overcome. That is the distinction between the two.

    My first car

    I remember the first time I thought I could afford to buy a car. For a long time, I dreamt about owning Jeep Wrangler and taking it off-roading in the deserts of the Southwest. It was literally the car of my dreams and I was going to take it on many adventures.
