Today, Dr. Newby is sharing a powerful message with his family and friends—a reminder to start the day with purpose and leave excuses behind. Looking back on his days as a proud Omega Man with the Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, he recalls the lessons he learned along the way, including memorable poems that helped shape his perspective on life, responsibility, and resilience.
One quote that has always resonated with him is about excuses. He paraphrases: “Excuses are the tools of the incompetent, building monuments of nothing. Those who specialize in them are seldom good for anything else.” Though he learned it long ago, the message feels as relevant today as it did then.
This morning, he encourages everyone to consider the role of excuses in their own lives, especially when it comes to health and fitness. It’s easy to delay, to put things off, but he knows that true growth comes from action, not excuses. Today, he’s challenging everyone to break out of that comfort zone. Whether it’s walking, lifting weights, or simply starting the day with intention, he’s calling on those he cares about to step up and get busy.
This message isn’t about being tough—it’s about caring deeply for the well-being of others, for his community, and for each person’s potential to live a fuller life. So today, let’s leave the excuses behind, get out of bed, and move forward.
