From a Smart Person (Big Al Yentsch): I copied this from a group on FaceBook - and I so think its worth repeating! Please read...
Procrastination is a source of incredible suffering. When we know what to do and don't do it, we strike a blow to our worth and self-esteem. “One of these days” is none of these days. If we are to gain tomorrow, we must seize today. Where is your procrastination causing you increased pain, expense, and inconvenience? Your health? Schedule? Finances? Relationships? What about how you spend your free time and use your talents? How do you manage your stress? Be honest: At the end of a hard day, are you still reaching for a glass of wine or downing that dessert for an emotional pick-me-up? Have you promised yourself yet again that you will start making better choices tomorrow? What if there was a way to lose interest in those types of activities and choices that aren't aligned with your best life? What if, instead, you began to embrace the changes you know you need to make? Here’s a surprising truth: Action is easier than regret. Making changes is easy: It’s thinking about change that is hard. It’s even harder when we think in terms of perfection rather than progress. For example: Isn't exercising your body for 30 minutes a day easier than beating yourself up all day for not exercising? The truth is, change is a personal decision. Once the commitment to do things differently is made, the very things you have put off will ease their way into your life. Think about it: Time is the great equalizer. It passes by at the same rate for everyone. Think about it: No matter how much money, privilege, beauty, talent, or other advantages a person may have, no one gets more than 24 hours to spend in a day. But, how you spend those hours is what matters. All of us wake up in the morning and start our day with exactly as much time as everyone else. Yet the setting sun will find each of us in vastly different circumstances due to the daily choices we make. When you make a change and invest your heart, you can create a new reality. Inspiration and great ideas come from all around us and they are tools we can use to turn our dreams into plans, and those plans into something we can look at and touch. But ultimately, success comes from action, and that action is only possible through you. Act on your dreams and give yourself the gift that no one else can give you. Seize the day!!! Its later than you think!!!!!
