DO IT NOW, SOMETIMES 'LATER' BECOMES 'NEVER'
Many a times, it's easier to find a reason to delay action, a reason to wait or a reason to postpone our daily activities. Millions of life changing ideas and conceptions never saw the light of day because their owners just couldn't find the right time. What is the right time anyway? A mentor once told me, there is no right time, all you need is time, it's up to you to decide whether it's right or wrong. So basically, if you are willing enough, every time is the right time for you. While listening to Jim Rohn address a group of aspiring youth about a couple of days ago, I noted something important:
If you will change, then everything around you will change. Start by changing your mind. The things that are easy to do are also easy not to do. So do not neglect to do the easy things you can do. I noted that one can easily be successful in life by doing the simple things they know they can actually do well. By committing to these things and giving it the attention and consistency it deserves, you could actually make it. Unfortunately, it is easier to assume that certain things are just too simple to make us successful. So what do we do? we ignore them and keep looking for bigger opportunities. We keep hoping and waiting while missing out on the so called smaller opportunities.
It's however important to remember that it is the smaller opportunities that come together to form a mighty one. Forget about all the excuses and find a reason to act today. If you can as much as create and post good content on Steemit, then by all means, do that. At least with that, you have something to look forward to. Something that gives you hope, but most importantly, a purpose. Procrastination is not just a thief of time, but an enemy and a limitation to creativity and progress.
Any time you encounter a task, ask yourself one question: can I do it now? If the answer to this question is in the affirmative, then there is no need to wait for a later time. It's that simple, do it as and when you can. That idea you are suppressing right now could change someone's life, put food on another's table or probably be the key to your own success. Act while you still can for time and tide waits for no man. In one way or the other, we all have our own geniuses, do not let yours die with you.

Love this! Procrastination is a huge problem. You are so correct when you said, later becomes never. If you have something you should do or want to do, get it done rather than waiting around. Tackle life head first and be the person that makes things happen rather than the person things happen to! :)
That is exactly my point, thanks for passing by.
The simple tool to avoid this problem which I found while doing my research and which worked for me as well is following "THE-FIVE-SECOND-RULE" by Mel Robbins. Before the brain starts to interrupt the action, take the action. Count backwards 5-4-3-2-1 and do it.
It works!
Very inspiring and motivating post @osmansnr. I just posted a similar post a while ago. https://steemit.com/steemit/@eastilan/work-hard-play-hard-and-be-smart.
I think it is time people started working to their full potentials.
That is true, a lot of us are walking about with potentials that must be unearthed
