Putting off tasks, leaving them to
last minute, arriving late, leading a chaotic life with stress, resentment and guilt, but worst of all missing out on opportunities… Saying ‘I have to do this’ or ‘I have to do that’, being gripped by
panic of impending deadlines, beating yourself up, kicking out in resentment and rebellion for missing
goal posts for something you felt forced to do…
Making excuses, ‘I can’t afford it’ or ‘I lack
confidence’ or saying ‘This doesn’t work…’ and ‘that doesn’t work’ without even making
effort to find a way…
Hanging onto
things you’ve been doing for years, while not starting anything new until
other project is finished. Perfecting, perfecting, perfecting it’s a great trap…
This is
habitual way of
Leader in Procrastination.
But hey, don’t beat yourself up for not doing ‘STUFF”. Ignore
jibes of
less worldly and wise. Maybe you’ve been
shrewd one. Maybe it is for
best that you didn’t do ‘THINGS’. Maybe ‘stuff’ and ‘things’ just haven’t been right in a while.
Deep down you know that you’ve been marking time. Deep down you know
moment has not been right for you to seize life. Deep down you know your time to act will come; your moment when you no longer ‘HAVE TO’, but ‘WANT TO’.
And if that want hits you this week; if that want packs a punch in your gut today; if that want stirs you in an hour, a minute or now, you’ll know to act. And act you will, striking like a viper.
This is
Leader in Procrastination… biding their time.
Many others are just like you now, marking time. Many others were like you yesterday, but then decided to strike today and grasp
life they have before them. They have chosen to shrug off
‘have to’ and discover
‘want to’; they have chosen to dream a little, to find passion, to find
leader within them that will bring love and life in golden bursts of sunlight.
They have chosen to re-find their gifts and use them in distinctive ways that touch and change other peoples’ lives. They have shrugged
existence. They have chosen to drop
clinking chains of education, religion, family values and peer pressure and be true to their souls, not what they are told their souls ‘must’ be.
