PROCRASTINATION
Interesting word isn't it? The definition that society has attached to the word means "Someone who often puts off matters that need to be dealt with immediately to another time." Most people who have been labled or call themselves procrastinators will often procrastinate in order to have more time to do those things that they enjoy.
Is it just me, or have we as a society been listening just a bit too much to what "Society" deems correct? Parts of society say that it's "okay" to put off doing certain things like paying taxes, paying bills, taking care of our families, or even taking total and complete care of ourselves. We procrastinate on doing things because society has deemed it a "tolerable" act. Why would you wand to put off anything that has to do with either your own well being or your family's? Why put off overcoming things like fear, addiction, anger, or hate? Why not just "man-up" and deal with it?
"I once bought a book on how to overcome procrastination. I have yet to read it." ~Anonymous The ability to not procrastinate comes from within ourselves. However, the inspiration to enable our ability to overcome procrastination can come from anywhere. Just look around you. It can be from your kids, friends, family members, spouses, religious leaders, religious views, and even a stranger. Never procrastinate about those things that can very well save your life, marriage, happiness, or freedom. " Nothing is quite as fatiguing as the eternal hanging on of an uncompleted task." -William James
