Episode 336 - EXCUSES AND THE FINAL SCORE
Episode 336 - EXCUSES AND THE FINAL SCORE
In this episode of the "Thick and Mystic Moment" podcast, host Robert John Hadfield delves into the theme of accountability and the impact of making excuses on success and failure. The conversation begins with a casual story about a disappointing basketball game, setting the stage for a broader discussion on the dynamics of sports and the lessons they offer about life.
Hadfield reflects on his own experiences with sports during his school years, highlighting a poignant lesson from his coach: "excuses lead to failure." This idea becomes a central theme as he explores the ways in which excuses can detract from achieving goals, both in sports and in life.
The discussion extends to historical examples and literary references that emphasize the detrimental effects of excuses. A notable example from a 1914 newspaper article, which reads like a poem, admonishes the use of even "good excuses" and promotes seizing opportunities. Hadfield also recounts a piece from 1952 that discusses overcoming laziness and procrastination by prioritizing responsibilities over comfort.
Throughout the episode, Hadfield interweaves personal anecdotes and reflections, reinforcing that the final results—the scores on the board in sports, or the outcomes of one's efforts in life—are what truly matter, not the excuses made along the way. The podcast episode is a compelling narrative on personal responsibility, the illusion of valid excuses, and the pursuit of success without self-deception.
