Procrastination

                                    Procrastination

"Procrastination is a thief of time". Ponder on that for a moment. We always plan to do stuff and never get around to doing it or even getting started. There is that voice in our heads which always reminds us that there is a tomorrow. "You can always do it tomorrow" it say, "Or the next hour". The truth is there is always a time of passion when you have what it takes to do something. It is called the "Spur of the moment". To me, that is the best time to do anything because when we wait, excuses come in, a lot of other stuff comes along and blurs that vision to de point that it becomes a distant memory.

    I bet a lot of great inventors had to put aside all the excuses that tried to derail them. I procrastinate all the time so I guess this article speaks to me personally. Uncountable instances in my life when I put off one thing or the other for no apparent reason which I later regret. My alarm clock always goes off at 5am every morning. At that time, I am wide awake. I know I should get out of bed and pray before I prepare for work but for some reason I don't. I just lay there and kip playing thoughts in my head. Before I know it, I'm running late so I have to hurriedly prepare and go to work and throughout the day, it keeps bugging me, "why didn't you pray at least? Just for a second?.   That’s just one instance out of a million. It could be the laundry. You postpone it from Friday to Saturday, Saturday to Sunday and before you know it, it’s Monday and u have a stack of dirty stuff scrambling for your attention. It could be anything. From the very little things, to the big things.

    My advice here is, don't save Stuff for tomorrow. Do it NOW while you can and you'll be glad you did. There is no time like the present. We should have an active and not a passive mentality towards life. Peace!!!
