STOP Procrastinating

Psssst… STOP procrastinating.

The problem with procrastinating is that you allow yourself to start believing that it’s okay “to not do stuff”.

Then we make the excuses…stop-procrastinating

And allow that little voice that is telling you, “I really want to get started…

…but I don’t know where to start…

what if I start at the wrong place and waste all that time because I should have started somewhere else…

…but I don’t know where that somewhere is else is…”

…to completely throw us further off track.

Heard that voice before?

Yeah, we all have.

The thing is, if you don’t know where to start or what action you need to take to get things going then it doesn’t really matter what you do.

All that matters is that you do something.

Just DO something.

Take some action.

If you have been putting off making a call, then pick up the phone and ring the gallery.

The person on the other line is human just like you… and therefore has the same concerns, fears, wants for their family, are in need of a vacation, probably is embarrassed to admit that they watched Everybody loves Raymond too much, have kids that are too loud, a sister-in-law who simply will not stop at 3 glasses of wine at the family barbeque and demands for the the karaoke machine to be turned on…

Get my point?

We all are, in a general sense, the same in many ways.  So to avoid putting off making that call, think of the person on the other end of the line as a person just like you.

Don’t let procrastination get in the way of experiencing life.

Hey I have a secret for you…you are going to make mistakes, you are going to cop some criticism, you are going to wonder at times if it is all worth it.

Well it is all worth it… because this is your life… and apparently, so I have been told, we only get to do it once.

So, what are you waiting for? Don’t deprive the world of your gift. Phone people who can help you share that gift.

Stop procrastinating and do it.

No more cookies FOR YOU until to make the call (wink)
