Procrastination is the loser’s Game

Dear loving people,

One of the most valuable skills in the life of an achiever is the ability to consistently meet deadlines and accomplish tasks in a timely manner. The reality is that times without number; procrastination prevents many people from achieving it. Napoleon Hill says “procrastination is the bad habit of putting off until the day after tomorrow what should have been done the day before yesterday.” Christopher Parker goes on to say “procrastination is like a credit card: it's a lot of fun until you get the bill. Can you immagine that? Actually, you only get to know the real damage Procrastination can cause you only when you pay the price.

Winning the battle against procrastination may seem a daunting, even unachievable goal, but anyone can do it once you focus on developing strategies to overcome it. Lord Chesterfield proposes a starting point by saying “know the true value of time; snatch, seize, and enjoy every moment of it. No idleness, no laziness, no procrastination: never put off till tomorrow what you can do today.”

William Barclay in “The danger of spiritual procrastination” recounts a fable of three apprentice devils who were coming to this earth to finish their apprenticeship. They were talking to Satan, the chief of the devils, about their plans to tempt and to ruin men.

The first said, "I will tell them that there is no God." Satan said, "That will not delude many, for they know that there is a God."

The second said, "I will tell men that there is no hell." Satan answered, "You will deceive no one that way; men know even now that there is a hell for sin."

The third said, "I will tell men that there is no hurry." "Go," said Satan, "and you will ruin men by the thousands."

The most dangerous of all delusions is that there is plenty of time. Achievers must understand this and act accordingly in order to hit the summit.

Why not start now! to fight procrastination in your life, don’t wait for tomorrow, it might never come.
