Procrastine no more...


"Only put off until tomorrow what you are willing to die having left undone"
- Pablo Picasso


Today, I had to motivate myself to ride my bike, my legs were a bit sore from yesterday, and my ankle was hurting a bit as well, which I think is mostly related to my shoes strings being too tight. In my head, the reason I rode today was because it's a habit for me to ride my bike to work and workout throughout the day on it. Plus, I know that if I don't ride I'll have an episode and I don't want that happening. There is really too much procrastination or excuses floating around in my head, so I didn't want to give that bullshit any room to breathe. Tomorrow it's going to rain is what I kept saying, so I have to put in some serious hardwork today, however, I felt like that was an excuse as well. Because even though it's raining, there still shouldn't be a reason for me not ride my bike. I mean, if its severely bad weather outside, I can understand that. But coming up with excuses not to ride my bike because of some rain is just total bullshit and being afraid of a challenge.

That is how I'm learning to overcome obstacles now, I find a way to logically convince myself that doing something hard is the best result.

Personally though, I think excuses turn me off, and the excuses people tell me are a serious turn off as well. Unless it's something psychological or physical there really shouldn't be an excuse as to why you can't do something. It really has to come down to how badly you want that thing or person... you can't stop fighting. I don't like putting anything off throughout the day, if I can deal with it quickly and get it off the table I will. But I don't like waiting anymore, I don't see the point in it. There are things I want, there are people I want to see and spend my time with... so I can't procrastinate because then it comes across like I'm not really serious about it... and I am.
