Overcoming Exercise Excuses "Where the heart is willing, it will find a thousand ways, but where it is unwilling, it will find a thousand excuses." This is an old Greek proverb. Ignorance is bliss - one of the risks of self-awareness is that you can't play dumb anymore. If you know what you need, you have to deal with the question of what you're going to do about it.

It does not make sense to spend hours regretting an indulgence that lasted a few seconds.
