Excuses feel safe, but they’re costing you more than you realize. In this episode, Mikel breaks down how the things we justify are silently robbing our future—and how to stop the leak.
We all make excuses—but we rarely count the cost. In this episode of The Daily Fox Fuel, you’ll get a straight-up reminder that your excuses might be more expensive than your risks. Mikel challenges us to look at how justification keeps us stuck, stagnant, and spiritually stale. Using wisdom from James Clear and biblical principles of responsibility, this episode will push you to evaluate what you're defending and whether it’s worth it. The good news? You can change direction today. The moment you stop paying into the excuse is the moment you start investing in who God called you to be.

Let’s get real—some of us are spending way too much on our excuses. Excuses feel protective, but they’re robbing us of our integrity, trust, momentum, opportunity—and sometimes even anointing. James Clear said, “Every action is a vote for the type of person you want to become.” But the opposite is also true—every excuse reinforces the version of you that stays stuck.
Excuses delay what God is trying to develop. They defend who you were instead of building who you’re becoming. So here’s the challenge: take one honest moment today and ask, “What excuse am I still holding onto?”
Because the longer you feed it, the longer it leads you. And you weren’t made to live stuck. You were made to lead. So stop the excuse. Start the action. Let’s get to work.
