What are you waiting on?

You don't have to see the whole staircase, just take the first step." Martin Luther King, Jr.


One of the biggest problems with people these days is Procrastination.  It seems to effect everyone just a little, but it's those that recognizes it that are able to keep it from effecting their lives.  People tend to want to postpone things that needs to be done immediately until the last minute, this could sometimes cause problems in your life.  What causes people to procrastinate?  Why is it that a lot of us tend to think that "I can do tomorrow what I can do today".  A lot of procrastinator's are educated and talented people that are sometimes afraid and intimidated by what needs to be accomplished immediately.  I've found that some of the best ways to fight procrastinating is by having a strong set of supporters behind you.  Usually if your supporters are not one to procrastinate then typically you won't either.  Also try to set daily goals for yourself, sometimes understanding that you have daily goals to meet will help you accomplish small task that you would usually push off.  In my life time I have met a lot of people that procrastinate and don't realize that they do.  These could be the worst type of people, simply because these people tend to make excuses on why their goals aren't being met and how doing it next week will somehow work out better.  When trying to rid yourself of the procrastination bug it's best to recognize that you have an issue with procrastinating and try to figure out what makes you start procrastinating.  Benjamin Franklin once said "You may delay, but time will not".  In life we all have opportunities to be great and to live our dreams, but it's the procrastination bug that kills all of that.  Alot of us have fell victim to losing out on love, jobs, and other opportunites that could have drastically changed our lives, just because we were to afraid of working for it.  Lets utilize all the opportunities we have and capture them today, we are never guaranteed tomorrow.  I would suggest to anyone trying to achieve a goal, to not wait until tomorrow to capture it seize your opportunity today.
Please let us know if you are a victim of procrastinating or if you know someone who does.  We would like to know how you deal with the situation.
