Many destinies today, have become a mirage because of procrastination.
Several people would have reached the peak of their skills if they hadn’t fallen into the trap of complacency and laziness.
A lazy man is one who procrastinates.
Greatness comes by decisive and deliberate action to do what is important and needful for your success in Life. Complacency is the enemy of Growth.
Nothing will grow in our lives if we continue to live a life of missed opportunities as a result being lazy.
How to deal with Procrastination
1. Discipline:
Discipline is the bridge between planning and accomplishment.
Achievers are people who have the ability to compel their will and channel their energies in achieving a specific goal.
There is no key to achieving success other than discipline. Discipline yourself to work now! Discipline yourself to study now! Discipline yourself to face your fears! Just do it!
Do not shift to tomorrow, what you can do today! Grab your pen and write that story! Make that phone call!
2. Scheduling your time;
There are 24 hours in a day, each hour comes with its opportunities.
To schedule your time is to arrange your activities and fix them at their respective hours.
Several people schedule their time for insignificant things.
This is wrong as time is not renewable. Any hour spent without a deliberate schedule will lead to wasted opportunities.
Friends who will not help you to schedule your time should never be around you. Distance yourself from friends who will not respect your daily schedule. Your day is very precious to you. Many people are on the same level today because of the lack of a definite schedule. Give yourself to schedule.
3. Choose Sensible friends:
Friends are pointers to destiny, Loving your neighbour is a commandment, having a friend is your choice.
Any friend you have that will always make you use your time to talk, party and do other things that will not bring benefit to you and help you to get grow should not be your friend.
You must get rid of friends who are time wasters.
Never give yourself to friends who love to gossip. Friendship is either value-adding or value-depreciating.
Surround yourself with friends who will add value to your destiny and will always tell you what to do when you are confused.
4. Develop A Responsible Mind-set:
Ignorance is the greatest obstacles of a man, Bad mind-set is an enemy of progress.
If you want to grow, take responsibility! you are not like other persons. Our responsibilities are unique. So don’t just sit down, engage your responsibility!
God bless you!
