PROCASTINATION IS A KILLER

 

FIGHT PROCRASTINATION BEFORE IT KILLS YOUR DREAMS

Procrastination is the action of delaying or postponing something.

Do you procrastinate?

 

I will be telling you in this article how procrastination is killing your dreams but first, a chilling real-life story that shows just how procrastination works on many of us.

 

In November 2006, Alexander Litvinenko, a former Russian spy, suddenly fell ill and died three weeks later from the deadly effects of a slow-acting poison.

 

In the weeks before his death, doctors in London did everything they could to diagnose the real cause of his illness but failed. It was only after Alexander’s death did autopsy tests reveal he had been poisoned with a very rare and extremely deadly substance called polonium.

 

Polonium is a radioactive poison and a deadly slow killer with no cure. While most poisons kill instantly or after a few minutes, Polonium takes its time and could take several months before it finally kills its victim. In all the time it remains in the body, it destroys the body slowly, often without giving any major signs.

 

This is exactly how procrastination slowly kills dreams, aspirations and the potential of millions of people around the world.

 

I hope I didn’t scare the hell out of you with the Polonium story. Though dramatic, I found it to have a very compelling similarity to the deadly effects of procrastination in our lives.

 

Almost nine out of every ten aspiring entrepreneurs you know are already infected with the ‘procrastination syndrome.’

 

But why do so many people easily become victims of procrastination?

 

Why, despite knowing its deadly effects, do we allow it to poison our dreams and rob us of the ability to take any action?

 

I think I have a couple of clues.

 

I will share with you two key reasons why procrastination is such an effective dream killer.

 

Many of you reading this will easily relate to the signs and situations you’re about to read.

 

Here they are…

 

Procrastination is a sweet and comfortable feeling

 

One of the biggest advantages of procrastination is the comfort it provides.

 

If you have a brilliant business idea but continue to postpone any actions that will make it a real life business, what will happen? Nothing.

 

In January, you said you’ll act in March; by March, you set a new date in October. Days, weeks, months and even years pass and you keep procrastinating. It’s such a comfortable feeling knowing you can procrastinate without suffering any consequences, right?

 

It’s this comfort that makes procrastination such a powerful poison.

 

It makes you believe you have all the time in the world to act. It makes you think there will be no consequences for not acting on your dreams today.

 

Hour by hour, day by day, it slowly steals your time without your knowing. By the time you realize that you are being robbed, it could be too late. Lost capital can be recovered, mistakes can be redeemed, but stolen time is often lost forever!

 

Procrastination usually exists in disguise

 

Very few people in this world will admit that they suffer from full-blown procrastination. Maybe just a few people will admit it.

 

Why? Because most people don’t even know that they have been poisoned by procrastination already.

 

They think they are suffering from a different disease and are unaware of the real poison at work.

 

If you ask many aspiring entrepreneurs why they haven’t acted on their dreams and ideas, the popular responses you are likely to get will be:

 

‘I don’t have the capital to start.’

 

‘I just had a baby.’

 

‘I don’t have the contacts’

 

‘Now is not a good time to start’

 

‘I don’t have enough information yet’

 

Bla bla bla…

 

What do you think all these people are doing?

 

Yes, you’re right; they’re making excuses.

 

If you listen well enough, you will hear people come up with the most logical, intelligent, beautiful and emotional excuses. And excuses make the best disguise for procrastination.

 

An excuse convinces the maker that they have a very valid reason for not acting.

 

What a perfect lie!

 

Years from today, you will be old, retired and not as strong as you are now.

 

Whether you choose to pursue your ideas and achieve them, or simply relax and enjoy the sweet poison of procrastination, time will still pass.

 

No matter what you’re doing (or plan to do), time will always keep moving; it’s a train that never stops.

 

And what you do with your time is entirely up to you. Your goal in life should be to achieve your dreams while you still have time.

 

On the other hand, procrastination’s goal is to steal as much time from you in any way possible.

 

It’s up to you to decide how much of your time you want procrastination to steal.

 

How much of your life and precious time did procrastination steal this year?

 

What are you going to do about this thief as from today?
