Maheen and Mifrah have a conversation about the 3 biggest excuses people make in their lives and how to move past them.

Highlights from the show:

• What are excusists? [2:06 – Mifrah]
• “The first kind of excusist is the health excusist, kind of using it as a way of preventing yourself from taking action”[2:49 – Maheen]
• The story of the two diabetics [4-15 – Maheen]
• “Most people on the hospital bed have EII – emotionally induced illness” [11:05 – Mifrah]
• “Intelligence excusists say they are just not smart enough to that…but it is not about your intelligence but the thinking that guides it” [11:43 – Mifrah]
• “Are you going to use your mind to make history or to record history” [13:59 – Mifrah]
• “You hear a lot of people saying they are passed the learning age?” [19:02 – Maheen]
• “When you think about negative things more, the more the thinking, the stronger association and quicker it is retrieved” [23:50 – Maheen]
