Lame A-Bird
I will start this post with 1 word 5 syllables Pro-cra-sti-na-tion.
My most revered enemy. Sorry for keeping you waiting I was having computer troubles at exactly 12 noon today(or should I say yesterday as we are now Wed) when I was about to put this post up. My computer screen decided to freeze on me. Why above all days, at all times? I don’t know? I shall ask that question to the screen the next time I see it.
Still I could have done better you know. It started with sleeping late. Then I’d get distracted by whatever was happening outside the house, then being too tired the next morning to do anything. Then more distraction And now I’m slowly realising I have mountains of work to do which as left me feeling slightly overwhelmed.
The usual stuff, when you Pro-Cra-Sti-Nate. But seriously, how many times do you say to yourself” I will do this project tomorrow” but the first thing you do is talk about it and talk about it,and talk about it some more but you haven’t actually done anything yet. Please don’t pretend, You know it’s true. I bet you, that to do list that hangs up on your fridge, with the ten items you were supposed to do last week, still hasn’t been completed.
You’ll probably tell me “Mathy I got work to do, and I have a job, I haven’t got the time, or there’s not enough time in the day to do all of that” and I will say ” RUBBISH” quit making excuses and do it.
You know it took me 6 years to take action and change career direction. But it also cost me. I wished I had taken action sooner. As I feel my circumstances have speed-up the process towards the change. Not that I didn’t know what I wanted to do.However for 6 years I have been procrastinating. Yes!! I put my hand up. I own up to my lame-ass-bird. I realise that I allowed other people to tell me how to be live and to conform to whatever social norm was acceptable.
Damn! Was I stupid ? I should probably write it on my forehead. “lame-ass-bird”. It wont help either way I’ve already done the deed. let’s just hope someone learns from my mistake.
I don’t know about you but I feel it’s pointless to make so many plans and achieve so little. Should you have any long-term goals? Of course? Just don’t dwell on them try to live in the Now. In the moment that you exist in. It makes life so much liberating and so much easier. If I was you I’d make that decision right now to go and get that list, in the kitchen, on your fridge and forget all the reasons you can’t and do it now. Don’t be a lame-ass-bird like me, WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR!?
