Monday Morning Motivation

“I think my problem is procrastination, but I’m not quite ready to admit to it yet.”

If pressed, you could probably list a dozen things you could be doing that would grow your practice. What you need to grow your practice isn’t a lack of knowing, but a lack of doing. It’s not an information shortage, it’s an action shortage. It’s not for a lack of ideas, but for a lack of implementation.

At its root, procrastination is a sign of living reactively, without a passionate purpose for your life. Procrastination “takes you out” as a leader and influencer, reducing your ability to make a difference. When mere survival is your vision, most action steps seem like too much work or don’t supply instant gratification.

This week identify something greater than you and even your survival as a reason for practicing. Do everything you know how to do with the sole purpose of advancing that greater something!
