What are you waiting for?

It seems like we all are waiting on something to happen before we start doing what we know we are supposed to do. Let’s think about it: Do you need to start working out? Do you wait ‘til the New Years day to try to stop smoking or say “I’ll just wait till I finish this pack”?  How about you need to study harder in school but decide to just wait tell next semester? This is one I hear a lot “when I get married I will start doing this or stop doing that”.

Why is it when we know what we need to do we choose to make excuses to start it later?  I image the conversation in our head goes something like this. “I know I need to get better, but, I’ll do what I need to do in a month or so”. What sense does that make?  That makes about as much sense as saying, “Look! A stop light!  I’ll stop when I get on the other side of it”.

When it comes to doing what we know we need to do, procrastination is not our friend, but our enemy. Let’s not continue to make excuse about what needs to be done and just do it!
