Procrastination Piles-How many have you got?


Procrastination Piles- have you got any in YOUR LIFE?
I would assume the answer would be YES!
Why do I know that? Well I can gurantee you that there is at least 2 or 3 areas in your life where you are not taking immediate action.
There are things around your house or around your office that you have let become "Procrastination Piles" and you have added to these piles very very efficently.
You have developed good mental systems also for adding to the piles and making sure the piles have been well stocked day after day.
And their is some part of you that resists taking action. Either-
The action that you are procrastinating about is not something that excites you.
OR
It is something that you thing will be unenjoyable to do. - You associate some pain towards doing it.
But the bigger question is- Can you imagine your life after having cleaned up ALL these areas of procrastination in your life? Immediately when you see something that needs to be done or taken action on, you simply go out and DO IT!
That takes quite a special person. But it is the person that sees a need and takes action faster than others that gets more success.
Isn't that what success is? Seeing something needing to be done, taking the action, getting a result and then having a sense of achievement about what you have done?
The ironic thing is that we do actually go and do a lot of things in life. The big question to ask ourselves is - What is is about each activitiy during the day that we do love?
You see you wouldn't be procrastinating about eating, spending time with your family or listening to your favourite music would you? Why is that?
Think of the reason. ............
I would say the reason would be that all the activities enforce who you already believe you are.
Yet, the things that you are resisting are things that are activities which might actually force you to grow or to exert some energy that would push you or challenge you.
If you knew that cleaning up each of your procrastination piles would give you more and more higher levels of success would you go for it? I believe you would. Each time you knock down one of your truly yucky piles you actually add to your power and identity and are able to take on new tasks.
Each time you mentally stack stuff on to your already big piles, you push down your potential.
So the key learning here- Start to see what you are resisting most in your life, and know that by taking the action in each area the learnings you will get will be exactly what you need to get to hte next level of income, professional success, enjoyment, fun or love in all areas of your life.
Go out and knock down your piles. IF you are still resisting, at least look at it and think about what your story is about WHY you are resisting and acknowledge where you are in relation to that issue.
Be BOLD, take the action!

The Two Types of People-The Waiters Vs. The Creators




This Video is about something I love- Relentlessness!

Sticking in the Game UNTIL you win. This presenter talks about those who WAIT for things to happen vs. those who CREATE things to happen.

It is similiar to the Victim vs. the Leader mentality and he does an amazing job of highlighting how different people respond to situations based on which type of person they are.

Also the fact that the CREATOR will never stop trying until he finds what works. He will relentlessly pursue the target UNTIL he gets it. Whereas the waiter will never even bother, or they might bother and then stop after 2 or 3 tries.

The Waiter will be too scared to get it wrong but the CREATOR doesn't care about getting it wrong. Becasue they will always believe in their resourcefulness, no matter how much or little they have.

Watch this video and see where you might be being a CREATOR and where you might be being a WAITER.

It is crucial for managing your potential!

Make your potential a reality today!
