Being chronically late all the time is 100% a choice

Yes, traffic can be bad, things don’t always go as planned and some days it will take you longer than others to get ready in the morning. <br>But if you’re always late and use these excuses it’s because you have accepted chronic lateness as your personality trait. <br><br>For example if you always roll up to work 10 minutes late, that means you know you can always roll up 10 minutes late. If you were to have to be on time for once (maybe you have an interview) you will be able to be on time. Maybe it will take you 10 minutes longer to get ready so you wake up 10 minutes earlier. <br><br>The reality is if you have to be on time you can be, and if you accept that it’s ok to be late then you will always be late. It’s not because you slept through your alarm, it’s not because you hit all the red lights today. It’s because you were given the choice of being on time or being late and a healthy portion of the time, you choose to be late.
