Think and Grow Rich, Chapter VIII - Procrastination
Read More: Hello Friends!
My favorite chapter! Procrastination is the challenge I've been calling my own for most of my adult life, clinging to limiting beliefs such as "Better Late than Never" I take pride in the fact I still haven't finished my 06 income taxes! It's the main reason I haven't found the level of success I've been dreaming about, because the things I put aside today come back and haunt me later on, guaranteed.
"The Slight Edge" in reverse, little things I don't do today add up over time into big things, things that keep me from achieving my highest potential. Like a millstone, these unfinished things I carry around with me each day cause my head to hang, and my shoulders to stoop, my self image is battered, and it shows in my words, actions, and persona. You can't hide it when it becomes part of you, like showing up late to your own funeral, ludicrous isn't it?
That attitude affects my ability to attract prosperity into my life. Its a wonder I haven't checked out from society like so many others, the ones you see pushing their shopping carts from dumpster to dumpster, who have thrown in the towel and just don't care anymore. We live dangerously close to the edge at all times, when we live with procrastination, it's right there waiting to give us the little push that sends us tumbling. The funny thing about procrastination, it's nothing more than a belief, has no substance or truth, its a ghost!
Along comes a group of people who are working on themselves each day to eliminate this and many ghost's from their lives, its great watching them grow each week on the Mental Cleanse, and get over the fear of success, actually get out there and do something with life! That's where my salvation lays, in the Mastermind, the system of growing beyond my limitations, by plugging into my true self, the source of all that's good and worthy in my life, that which will heal the lives of many and allow us to break the mental chains that bind us.
Have the most joyful and prosperous New Year, it's your right!

Procrastination
Paul,
It is the killer in anyone's life.
"I'll do that in just a moment." "Maybe tomorrow." " Don't need to do it now."
I've seen it so many times in so many ways.
I suggest that to move forward in one's life, be in the NOW and make it happen.
Time is precious. Make it YOUR TIME NOW.
Best,
Dan
Great Words
You are right you are in control of You and you are the only one that fix You. No matter how hard anyone tries to fix you, you are the only one that can do it.
Say how do you spell that again? Pro----
I haven't got the slightest idea of what you are talking about. Gotta run I haven't got around to reading that chapter yet.

Awesome Lesson
Paul, I think I could have written that! Its good to know that I'm not the only one who feels like you do. It is true, some of us live dangerously close to the edge, but with each passing week on the Mental Cleanse, little by little we can chip away at some of our bad habits.
I'm the opposite
I think perhaps I should write an article on the opposite! I make a list of things that I need to do that week and then try and do them in one day. All it achieves is me getting 5 hours sleep and being ratty for the next day. I think perhaps I should take a leaf out of your book and try this. You never know I might end up with a bit of balance.
My New Years resolution perhaps.....
