Picture a plain, empty table in front of you, six feet long and four feet wide. There’s nothing on it—not even a tablecloth or decorations—just a simple, everyday table. Now imagine someone asking, “If you could have anything you wanted to place on this table and keep it, what would you choose?” You can choose multiple items. It could be anything at all, tangible or intangible. But you can’t wish for anything that would harm you or others, including extraordinary physical or mental powers. However, you’ll have one caveat. If you were to die soon, would you change what you wanted? Will you still take the offer?
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.
