Procrastination Is A Disease

There were many occasions in my addictive days where I had thoughts to quit smoking or drinking. These thoughts didn't materialise as soon as they should because they only remained as thoughts. It was always, I will quit after this weekend, or after so-and-so's birthday party, or after this-or-that event.

I believe that most human beings have this disease called Procrastination. It is a disease that does not discriminate where you come from, how old you are, what language you speak, what income bracket you belong to.....everyone has this disease in one form or another.

In order to succeed in mastering one's addictions or bad habits, one must conquer procrastination. Procrastination paralyzes us, it makes us smaller, and worse off than we actually are. And I think for some people, procrastination is a very good excuse not to become better than they actually are!

I found that once I put my thoughts into action by finally throwing the bottles out, I also busted procrastination on so many levels. I was able to achieve a lot in my life in an incredibly short time. And of course, I thought back and said to myself, why didn't I quit the addictions sooner?

If my bad habits and addictions didn't kill me, then I think procrastination would have done the job easily. Because it meant I wouldn't find real meaning to living.

If procrastination is your addiction, then in truth it is by far your most potent addiction because it is so subtle and not so easy to spot its destructive ways.

Do yourself a favour and do a self examination to see if this disease is in fact robbing you of your life.....
