How To Get A Breakthrough And End Procrastination ?

Friday, August 10th, 2007

How often do we catch ourselves saying “Wait…”, “Not today”, “Maybe tomorrow” to the things which we know we should be doing ?   

Procrastination is a time thief - it steals from us our most precious resource, time.  The longer we delay doing the things which will benefit us, the further we push back the success which we desire. 

So how do we get out of our comfort zone, get a breakthrough and end procrastination ?  What we need is an inspiration to action, and then carrying it through with action.

Asking ourselves the two questions below can help us gain much inspiration to action, produce a much needed mental push and a change of perspective.  However, inspiration remains a thought until it is acted upon by doing it right away.  Acting on it and keeping up the sustained effort will build a habit.  

Keep focused on the reward, not the process.

1.  What is the one thing I don’t want to do today, but if I did it, will change my life and/or business ?

2.  How will I benefit from doing the thing which I don’t want to do, but if I did, will change my life and/or business ?

3.  Do it now.  If logistically impossible to do it now, schedule in writing a time to do it.

… And Quit Worrying About What Other People Are Thinking Of You ?

The 18/40/60 Rule is a handy one to remember :

When you are 18, you worry about what everybody is thinking of you.
When you are 40, you don’t give a darn what anybody thinks of you.
When you are 60, you realise that nobody’s been thinking about you at all.

I always gaze at the sky as I walk
So that if you fall from the heavens one day,
I will be there to reach and hold you

But it is alright because…

Runaway

Tuesday, January 23rd, 2007

run-away.jpg

I’ve walked away with my future
and cant let go of my past
I’ve walked out the door
this goodbye is my last
the fog sticking to my once dry sweatshirt

I’m losing sight
of what is right and
I’m starting to believe
that my life is a useless fight

I push my legs harder
I’m carrying myself away from what is real
all the people who say they care
make it too hard to feel

found on the side of the road
laying as if dead
the friend who cared the most
wonders what the girl never said

the man, badged and sporting black
tears apart the teenagers life
asks her what was going on
what caused her so much strife

she tells them all her problems
and her depression without choice
tells them of her family
and if they care to hear her voice

all the memories come back to me
all the memories, close but far away
they help me realize
what made me run away

Expand your mind

Tuesday, January 16th, 2007

There is no way other parts of the world can be opened up for you; there is no way that you can release new things out of you, if you do not allow yourself to expand beyond where it is you are right now

Because as you continue to do the same old things over and over again, you go through the same patterns, you have the same thinking process that you come up with the same old ideas.

Stephen Pierce, successful entrepreneur and internet marketer
