Procrastination is a dream killer. When you procrastinate, you are putting your life on hold. You are putting your progress on hold. You are putting your success off till tomorrow. Procrastination is not what you should embrace, it is what you should reject if you are to make progress in life.

Benjamin Franklin once said, “Never put off till tomorrow, that which you can do today.” No matter how small the tasks are, don’t put it off till tomorrow if you can do it today. Remember that tomorrow has its own problem. If you add today’s job to tomorrow’s job, you are compounding your stress level. That which you can do today, do it today. That which you are going to do tomorrow, do it tomorrow.

If you keep putting things off till tomorrow, your life will never change. If you want your life to change, if you want your situation to change, stop putting things off, start taking action. Stop the “wishing game,” and start the playing the “doing game.” The ONLY medication to cure the procrastination disease is ACTION. Action can cure anything.

Your purpose in life is to grow, to do great things. But if you keep postponing your goals, you will never reach your destination. Make the decision today to stop procrastinating and start doing things that will put you where you want to be.

To conquer procrastination, start doing little things every day. The more you do them, the better it will be for you. Start small. Don’t beat yourself up in the beginning. It is not going to happen overnight. Be patient, but be consistent. Give yourself time to finish whatever you start. Hold yourself accountable for completing or not completing it. Whatever it is that you are avoiding, make the decision to work on it today, not tomorrow. If the thing you are avoiding is a difficult thing to accomplish, don’t get scared. Start by breaking it down into manageable portions. The smaller they are, the better for you to do. Start doing it today.

Life is all about moving. If you want to move in the right direction, stop putting things off. Start taking action today, and your life will start to move in the right direction. You can do it!

A Wishful Thinker

A wishful thinker is only a dreamer. If you want to succeed in life, you must support your wishful thinking with actions. You cannot wish your way to success. You can ONLY work your way to success.

Everything in life has a price. If you want it, you must first pay the price. You must first do the work required before you can get it. If not, it is just a wish. You don’t wish yourself to success. You work yourself to success. In other words, you must do the work to succeed. Success does not come from wishing, it comes from doing the hard work that no one wants to do.

If you want to succeed, if you want to be happy, don’t wish, do the work. Don’t wait for luck. Luck happens to people who are prepared to succeed. The prepared people are the lucky ones in their chosen disciplines.

You will succeed if you just stop wishing and start doing. You will succeed if you can support your wish with actions. You will succeed if you understand that you cannot be successful through wishful thinking. What you sow is what you will reap. What you plant is what you will harvest.

Farmers don’t wish, they plant. Doers don’t wish, they do. Instead of wishing, think of what you want, plan, take action, and follow through.
