How to Cure Procrastination

February 5, 2008 by diehappy 2 Comments

Here is the cure for procrastination.

Of course, because of fear, we often procrastinate about fully realizing this.

It is the denial of death that is partially responsible for people living empty, purposeless lives; for when you live as if you’ll live forever, it becomes too easy to postpone the things you know you must do. You live your life in preparation for tomorrow or in remembrance of yesterday; and meanwhile, each today is lost. In contrast, when you fully understand that each day you awaken could the the last you have, you take the time that day to grow, to become more of who you really are, to reach out to other human beings.

    I was slacking as I had no one to manage for a few minutes and discovered your new blog. I have to say, I am delighted!

    2 complimentary philosophies:
    Live like you have forever; live like there is no tomorrow.

    Shared pain is lessened, shared joy is increased. thus do we refute entropy…

    Anyone who can refute entropy is someone who can avoid falling apart.

    I hope you stay delighted or maybe even slightly gruntled rather than disgruntled when I move into attitude.
