Hello Readers. It's been a while. How you guyz been? Haven't updated my blog for quite some time now because of my busy schedule. Anyways let's cut to the chase.
As the title says, This week, I'm going to shed some light on procrastination. (For those of you who does not know what procrastination is, It is the act of putting things off for a later date). Let's face it, we all do it in our day-to-day lives. It's like a drug which gives you a temporary relief, but is not the solution for the problem. That's why I feel procrastination is no different from smoking or drinking.
Let me share something with you I came across a couple of days ago. I hope it will enlighten you, just like it did me.
Monkey hunters use a box with an opening at the top, big enough for the monkey to slide its hand in. Inside the box are nuts and fruits. The monkey grabs the nuts and its hand now becomes a fist. Unfortunately, the hole on the top is big enough for the monkey to put its hand in, but too small for the fist to go out. Now the monkey has a choice, it can either let go off the nuts and escape or hang on to the nuts and get caught. Guess what it chooses everytime? You guessed it. It hangs on to the nuts and gets caught.
We humans are no different from monkeys. We all hang on to some nuts that keeps us from going forward in life. We keep saying "I will do this later because _________" And whatever comes after 'because' are the nuts we're hanging on to. It does no good. It will only hold you back, slow you down and suck on your abilities and talents making you nothing more than a loser. And in the end, when it's too late, you'll reminisce only to regret about it.
So do yourself a favor, and adopt this small exercise in your daily life. The next time you're about to procrastinate, don't do it (:P)
The difference between Winners and losers is that Winners Analyze and losers rationalize. As the proverb goes, NEVER PUT OFF SOMETHING FOR TOMORROW WHEN YOU CAN DO IT TODAY. So friends, put on those procrastination patches and QUIT PROCRASTINATING TODAY!! :)
Hope this helped,
I'll catch you guys later.
Good Luck.
