It is a fact that "any action, no matter how small, will help us to overcome deadly procrastination." Which reminds me of advice I got some 40 years ago...words that at the time I thought were utterly inane: "Just do something about something." I now call those words golden.
It is a fact that any action, that is any action, will break the seemingly iron-bound grasp of procrastination. The only reason that is so hard for procrastinators to believe is, not believing, they refuse to move.
We go back to the same old, same old: Feel the fear and do it anyway. For that is all procrastination is...fear. The smart thing is to accept that and move...do something about something. But, no. We'd rather hear that, doubt it, think about it, analyze it, ponder it...i.e., do nada...and let guilt hover over us, paralyzing us further.
That's why the reasoning mind needs spiritual help. The reasoning mind is a God-given tool, but on its own, it can do some serious harm...to us and to anybody around us.
We thank God we've learned to thank God, then pull up a spiritual passage to lift our thoughts out of self. A couple of goodies: "Came to believe that God can and will intervene in my life in my behalf." "He performth that which is given me to do."
Actually, any thought of praise will turn our thoughts away from guilt...then we are free to do something about something.
Thank you.
