Just Do It!

Procrastination is the biggest thief you will ever fall victim to, and it's the biggest enemy you will ever face, because it prevents you from being today what you can be.

This week I came across The Procrastinators Creed. Here are its tenets.

1. I believe that if anything is worth doing, it would have been done already.

2. I shall never move quickly, except to avoid more work or find excuses.

3. I will never rush into a job without a lifetime of consideration.

4. I shall meet all of my deadlines directly in proportion to the amount of bodily injury I could expect to receive from missing them.

5. I truly believe that all deadlines are unreasonable regardless of the amount of time given.

6. I shall never forget that the probability of a miracle, though infinitesmally small, is not exactly zero.

7. If at first I don't succeed, there is always next year.

8. I shall always decide not to decide, unless of course I decide to change my mind.

9. I know that the work cycle is not plan/start/finish, but is wait/plan/plan.

10. I will never put off until tomorrow, what I can forget about forever.

Can anyone relate to this? The thing that stands between you and the life you were meant to live is the idea that you can begin tomorrow. This applies to your health, and it applies to your finances, and it applies to your professional life, and it applies to your family life. And most of all it applies to your spiritual life.

If you want to live at full speed, you've got to begin today. The small step you take today will carry you further than the big step you'll never take tomorrow. Get started...Just do it!
