Buts and Butts

“I should do this but…” “I know but…” “I wanted to but…” “But” is a common word we tend to use nowadays. Why is it so?

Is it because we often conveniently find excuses for the things and issues we perceived as "unachievable" or "difficult", and hence we give up without even trying? We often use “BUT” to substantiate our current position. We tend to have a lot of inertia. We do not accept positive changes easily as we grow older.

What happened to our brave and daring youth? We used to be young and daring when we tried our first step. Is it true that if we know falling hurts, we will not even stand up? Although everyone is born winners, how many people carry on in their pursuit to be winners consistently? Winning does not mean putting others down. It merely means trying my best and be true to myself regardless of the results. TO HAVE NO REGRETS!

I am definitely guilty of saying the “but” word. I will change and not say it as often as I have been saying. I am able to do it and I will succeed. This is my goal and I want to feel like a winner again.

(With due respect to the word “but”, I was just making a case that I am giving myself plenty of excuses nowadays and I am changing for the better.)
