A broken heart takes a while to mend. You can appear to behave foolishly when you are too wrapped up in love. You can’t act or think rationally. You become out of control. Jealousy sets in and you become a complete idiot. Hey! If you are not wanted, let it go! Jealousy complicates things. It can cause major problems with too many people. Sometimes, people can cause you major problems. Long-term problems. Your irrational action can mess you up. So don’t be stupid. Move on! Men have a longer recovery period than women after a break up. We take the break up to heart and want to retaliate. We can’t forgive as easily as women do. But none of us will forget.
We often look for excuses when things don’t go our way, shifting the blame onto others instead of taking responsibility for our own choices. But excuses only grow stronger the more we feed them. This same pattern shows up when it comes to doing what’s right—we stay silent, waiting for someone else to step forward, rather than holding ourselves accountable. “What’s your excuse now?” is a challenge to stop hiding behind hesitation and a sense of true comfort in our own skin.
