PROCRASTINATION

There exists always a tomorrow but alas! It does not belong to you.

We are lazy beings and one of our favourite jobs is to postpone the things. ‘I will do it tomorrow’ ‘I will do this one day in future’ ‘I will enjoy my life when I will be a little richer and older’ ‘I am waiting for the right time to do it’ Well, if you also cling to such future commitments, then you are a part of more than half of the population. We spend our life waiting for that one day, for that right time when we will complete all the pending things in our life – be it enjoying the life or starting a new venture.

Ask yourself a question, “Does time wait for you or for any right person?” Time never stops and it is indifferent to all the ordeals that befall on us and on others. Then, why do we wait for the right time? What can be the most right time but this very second, which you choose to lose by keeping faith on a future date? Does your body wait for the right time to breathe? No. Then, why do you wait for the right time to live? Running in the race of life, you keep surviving but cease living. You do not need warm pockets to do what you want to do. All you need is jigaar (a big heart) for it – a will to take risk and a certain level of determination.

‘Okay, tomorrow onwards, I will definitely start completing all the pending things’ you must be wondering and for now, you would choose to sleep over it. Every today comes with a tomorrow attached to it. So, which tomorrow are you talking about – the one that will never convert into today? What is wrong with today? What is wrong with now? You are born free, then why do you choose to spend your life as a slave of a routine?

To start living, one must stop procrastinating. It is indeed scary to do break away from your routine life but it is horrible to have regrets before you die. There is no right time but now and no right day but today. Now and today are all you have, the rest are mere delusions to keep you under the slavery of routine.
