Procrastination.

The biggest killer of dreams and ambitions I can think of.

You hesitate, your dreams die. It’s that simple.

When you are at the crossroads between Something-I-Need-To-Do Boulevard and I-Don’t-Want-To-Do-This Avenue, your brain is hardwired to kill action-taking because it is programmed to keep you safe.

That brain of ours doesn’t want any risky shit. It doesn’t want us getting off our ass into a place it doesn’t know. So it tries to throttle us to a placid death.

Mel Robbins, God bless her, calls it the 5 Second Rule.

She asserts that if you don’t take action in the first 5 seconds after the need for it comes up, that’s all the time your brain needs to borrow Mjölnir from Thor and smash that impulse to a pulp.

She also says that “If you don’t start doing the things you don’t feel like doing, you will wake up one year from today and be in exactly the same place.”

I’ll go a step further with that Mel.

If you don’t start doing the things you don’t feel like doing, you will wake up one year from today and be a year deeper in the shit than you are today.

You sure you want that?

I don’t.

So the next time the impulse to do something important hits you, you have exactly 5 seconds to get off your ass and get it done.

Do it and see the amazing stuff that happens.

 

THAT’S HOW WINNING IS DONE

It doesn’t have to be pretty and it doesn’t have to be perfect. Perfection is the mother of failure.

As long as you are stepping forward, that is all that matters.

And that is what I wish for you – imperfect progress.

Now go in there and GET IT DONE.

It’s time to rock the house.
