The Largest Void in Life

The biggest gap in the world is between ‘I should’ and ‘I did’ - Jackson Brown

That's Procrastination!! & its role is, "Procrastination is the fertilizer that makes difficulties grow".

Procrastination is opportunity’s natural assassin - Victor Kiam

That reminds me of a joke, "I was put on earth to complete a series of tasks & right now I am so far behind, I think I'll never die".

Procrastination is, "putting things off or delaying things to be done, without a valid reason".

We hear it almost every day: sigh, sigh, sigh

"I just can’t get myself motivated to. . . (lose weight, test my blood sugar, exercise, read etc.)"

I have a news. Motivation is not going to strike like lightning. And motivation is not something that someone else — doctor, family member, friend, mentor — can bestow or force. The whole idea of motivation is a trap. Forget motivation. Just do it. Exercise, lose weight, test your blood sugar, or whatever. Do it without motivation and then guess what. After you start doing the thing, that’s when the motivation comes and makes it easy to keep on doing it. 

Motivation is like love and happiness. It’s a by-product. When one is actively engaged in doing something, it sneaks up and zaps him when he least expect it.

As Harvard psychologist Jerome Bruner says, “You’re more likely to act yourself into feeling; than feel yourself into action.” So act! Whatever it is you know you should do, do it.

One doesn’t has to be great to start, but one has to start to be great.
