Today's Thought


Blame and Criticism

Am I bored?
Highly critical?
Fearful or anxious?

If the answer to any of these questions is "yes," I may be suffering the effects of procrastination.
If I am plagued by boredom, I may not be seeking or initiating constructive changes in my life.
By refusing to ask questions or seek answers to questions I already have, for instance, I perpetuate my sense of failure and emptiness.
If I am highly critical of others, it is very likely I am a "non-doer."
People who are busy doing their heart's desires have little time to complain about the actions or attitudes of others.
If I am anxious or fearful about the future, I may be postponing until tomorrow what I could be doing today.
Merely hoping or wishing my life will get better, while avoiding or worrying about an unpleasant task or problem, is self-defeating at best.
If I want to live today fully, I must do something constructive with it.

TODAY I will tackle at least two things I dread doing.
I will not waste my time and energy by wallowing in boredom, worry, criticism, or fear.
I will do what needs to be done even if it requires effort, risk and change.

Oh my goodness! That's me - procrastinate is my middle name : )
Never mind, today I paid someone to come and do something constructive for me. And while he's doing it I can blog!
