Everybody demands respect.

You want respect? Take ownership of your shit. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Excuse us. Shit, everybody has excuses these days. To actually find somebody who is going to admit or take ownership of a mistake they've made or the fact that they've done somebody wrong or screwed something up or whatever it is,

those people are damn near not existent now. They are a commodity because they are so rare. Excuses are so common and have become such a part of the culture in today's society that they just come out like it's nothing. Like it's nothing. Nobody's even asking for an excuse. You think I'm wrong? Go hang out in the return line in any department store. You'll get 50,000 excuses on why people return in whatever the hell they're returning. Literally, all you have to say is I'd like to return this and it's done. That's it. There's no reason to even give an excuse there. And they just come out of people like it's nothing. What is an excuse? An excuse is an attempt to lessen the blame of a fault,

of a mistake, of something that you screwed up. You're trying to justify or defend the fact that you messed up, that you made a mistake, that you offended somebody, whatever it is, you don't want to own the fact that you're the one that screwed up. You want to deflect it. That says a lot about you as a person. Believe it or not, that says a lot about you as a person. It means you're not a stand-up person. Nobody wants excuses. Everybody's got him. Nobody wants him.

Hey, you screwed something up. Who gives a shit? Everybody screws up. Everybody makes mistakes. Everybody offends somebody at some point in time. Own it. Just own it. Don't try to pass the buck along. Don't make an excuse on why you did it. All that needs to be said and all that anybody wants to hear is, I'm sorry, I screwed up and that will never happen again. That's it. That is it. Now, what, think about this. Think about the last time you gave somebody an excuse for something that you messed up. You know, there's all with, there's the build up. You know, you're going to get in trouble for it or you know, you're going to get reprimanded or maybe your significant others pissed off at you because you said

some shit. You didn't mean and there's always that build up, that anticipation, right? And then when it arrives, you give excuses. Do you, do you feel like a good person when that's over? Does it make you feel good that you just made a bunch of excuses on why you did what you did? No. It makes you feel like shit. Try this. Try saying, look, I'm sorry that happened and that will never happen again. That's it, that's all you have to say. That's it. You took ownership. That's all anybody

wants. They just want whoever's done them wrong, whoever made the mistake to take ownership. That's it. And then you can move past it. Try doing that and then see how you feel. It's never going to get brought up again It's never gonna get brought up again. If it does get brought up again, that's their fucking problem. Not your problem. You've have admitted that you've done wrong. You've taken ownership and you've shown

that you wanna move past that and never make that mistake again. That's all anybody wants to hear. Look, you want respect? We're living a society now. Everybody demands respect. You want respect? Take ownership of your ship. Admit when you've screwed something up. That's all you have to do. Just take ownership. The next time you're in trouble or you made him stake or you offended somebody or screwed something up, then just think about that. Just take ownership.

If it was you, and it's your fault, and you know if it is, then just say, look, I'm sorry, I messed up, and that will never happen again. I have no excuse. Nobody's gonna fault you for saying that. Now don't let it happen again, but, you know, just do your best. Just say, I will do my best and that will never happen again.

Just think about that. It's gonna work out for you. Hell of a lot better than making excuses. I guarantee it. Celebrate the Black Friday sales event at Woodhouse Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram in Blair.
