Hey;
I'm a procrastinator. I usually delay projects to the last minute.
I have a ten minute presentation tomorrow evening and needed to
work on it all week end.
The British Open was on the tube most of the morning. I cut the
grass and performed many "BUSY" tasks all day.
A very profound lady said on a teaching program this week;
"Our actions are either "Tension Relieving" or "Goal Achieving".
WOW!!!!!!!! In the middle of cutting the grass today that
statement slapped me up a long side of my head. Here I am,
doing the worst activity I can think of and yet it was a way to
relieve the tension of having to prepare for my presentation.
After all the grass must be cut, and what better time then now.
I'm a motivated guy and yet I'm am so easily distracted from
activities which are much more beneficial to my future because
of the comfort factor. She also said; "Successful people are
committed to results, unsuccessful people are committed to comfort."
Learning every day!!!!!

Getting out of your comfort zone is so important - and so difficult! It is amazing what we tell ourselves to avoid the things that make us uncomfortable. Avoiding pain is a bigger motivator than getting pleasure in too many cases. Good luck to you CW. Lori On Maui
Hi CW .. how surprising another lady .. picked up this post. I absolutely agree .. doing things that 'need to be done'? - rather than getting on & achieving the goals we've set ourselves. It's one step at a time .. but we need to take that step each day, perhaps two or three a day .. if we get on a roll (& we will) - here's to it. I like your Sylvers - billionaires - lets get to it! - Hilary
