This is like the little boy who says when I become a big boy, I will do this and this and I will be happy. And when be becomes a big boy he says, when I finish college and do this and this and I will be happy. And when he finishes college he says when I get my first job and do this and this I will be happy. And when he gets his first job he says when I get married and do this and this and then I will be happy. And when he gets married he says when the kind’s get out of school and I do this and this I will be happy. And when the kinds get out of school, he says when I retire and do this and this, I will be happy. And when he retires what does he see? He sees life has just gone by in front of his eyes.
Some people practice procrastination by hiding behind high sounding words, saying “I’m analyzing” and six months later they are still analyzing. What they don’t realize is that they are suffering from a disease called; “Paralysis of Analysis” and they will never succeed.
What time is it and where are we?
The answer is now and we here. Let’s make the best of now and utilize the present to the fullest. The message is not that we don’t need to plan for the future. The message is that we do need to plan for the future. If we utilize our present to its fullest, we are sowing the seeds for better futures automatically, aren’t we?
If you want to build a positive attitude, learn the phrase,” do it now” and stop the habit of procrastination.
