Procrastination
“Why do today what you can put off til tomorrow?”
This is the unfortunate motto of many an unfulfilled person, a person whose potential is far from realised.
Procrastination has been called an “energy leak of the soul.” It’s the “Path MOST Traveled”! The circumstances we live in today are partly due to choices we have made before. How much of yours are due to you putting off acting, putting off taking a risk, putting off even making a decision?
I have certainly procrastinated enough in my life but I am thankful for several times when I didn’t - I live with the good consequences today.
Thank God I decided to propose to my wife when I first became sure; her sister died two months later. If I had waited, then the two sisters would not have been able to spend their last weeks together happily planning a wedding.
I usually ignore my mobile phone on the weekend when I don’t recognise the number calling me. (I’ll ring em back on Monday - I tell myself). I’m glad I could be bothered to answer my mobile phone on that Sunday when a training manager (I had never met) rang me out of the blue to offer me an interview for a contract that gave me meaningful work for nearly two years!
So what have you been putting off? And what might happen if you were to sieze the day?
