PROCRASTINATION

Millions of people worldwide today are not aware of this dangerous parasite, ‘procrastination’ that attaches itself to mankind and yet everybody keeps on going on business as usual.
As a result of this, procrastination operates so silently and smoothly that no one notices it until it chokes life out of its victim.
Procrastination comes from a Latin word called procratinato which in effect means putting off or delaying action particularly on things that require urgent action or attention.
A person can be in a state of procrastination if he is infected with the disease named ‘I WILL DO IT LATER’.
He is being deceived that there will always be another time, though the present time is not being judiciously utilized.
In another sense, procrastination can be called the ‘THIEF OF TIME’ meaning the time for the postponed work has been stolen and for the work to be done, the time for another thing has to be utilized for it.
Procrastination in its ordinary sense seems to be harmless but it is rather unfortunate that countless numbers all over the world are groaning under its yoke. There is always an imagination that the mind of a person constructs if he wants to find an excuse for not doing a particular thing at a particular time.
This imagination simply gives him a strong assurance of doing it another time but forgetting the fact that the postponed time can only be trusted if the will of God tallies with his over that particular issue.
Come to think of it, procrastination has made millions of ideas, plans, visions and dreams go down the drain and ending up its victims in various cemeteries across the globe but for the fact that it is the final resting place of great but unactualised dreams.
That is, dreams that never came to reality. It would also interest you that the best brains, multinational business empires, the sleekest car inventors, the best children ever are been housed in millions of cemeteries all over the world.
The time to really launch out into something worthwhile is now, and not tomorrow or day after.
Reason being that dreams and plans are time compliant and if immediate steps are not carried out, it just dies down or blow away like the scent of a smoke.
