Procrastination is the Mother of Failure

Do you know why 95% of people fail in life? Because they procrastinate, never taking the first step in designing a life, they choose the path of mediocrity. putting their dreams on the back burner as though they have a contract to live forever.

Are you one of those talented individuals that has lost confidence in yourself and the greatness that lies within you?

I want you to imagine for a moment that it's the end of your life and around your bedside are the dreams you never pursued and the opportunities you never took advantage of. The business you were going to start, but never started. The book you were going to write, but never wrote. The house you were going to buy but never bought. The vacations you were going to take, but never found the time.

The faces of your dreams are looking back at you in disappointment, sadness, and anger. And as you look back at your dreams, you are looking in the face of greatness that was never realized. As your dreams fade away you see what your life would have been had you simply not procrastinated, taken action and followed your heart to a better lifestyle for you and your family. Your life has ended and you failed because you procrastinated.

The good news is this is only a hypothetical situation. The bad news is if you continue on the path of procrastination, failure is as guaranteed as night following day. Deep down inside you're worth a lot more than you are receiving right now.

If you keep doing what you are doing today, where will you be in the next 5 years? Many are called, but few are chosen. What decision will you make? How long will you continue on the path of mediocrity?

If you are satisfied sitting in the seat of procrastination, then continue to live a life of unfulfilled dreams and missed opportunities. But if you are ready to change the quality of your life, then get out of your comfort zone crush, procrastination and step into the shoes of greatness and move into the future of a better you, because time will not wait and success is not going to chase you.
