The battle to annihilate procrastination is one that should be taken to the nook and crannies of the world. This is because procrastination has destroyed so many lives and is still destroying so much more. It makes people live below their potentials thereby maiming their destinies.
People blame so many things for not achieving their dreams but often overlook the impact of procrastination. This is because it is never noticed by anyone but the end result is always devastating.
To eradicate procrastination, the antidote must be embraced by all and sundry. The perfect antidote ever known to mankind for eradication procrastination is ACTION This is the act of doing what you have to do NOW it is not later, it is not tomorrow, it is not next week or next year, it is doing it NOW!
If you are ever going to overcome procrastination, you must become a person of action. To achieve anything meaningful in life, the role of action can NEVER be relegated to the background. You must be able to do whatever you have to do when it is required of you to do them.
Hundreds of men go to their graves in obscurity because they lacked the pluck to make a first effort, they procrastinated when they should have acted. These are those who could have resolved to act and would have gone to astonish the world by their achievements and successes.
I wonder if we would have been able to celebrate the heroes and heroins of this world if they had not acted on their dreams. Obscurity would have become the lot of the likes of Edison, Ford, Bill Gates, Rupert Murdoch, Ted Turner and so many others if they had procrastinated on the idea that catapulted them to stardom.
To attain success in any area of your live, you must be a man/woman of ACTION. There is no other way. When your goal is made, you must ACT NOW! To do otherwise would be drifting upon waters.
Let me leave you with this golden advice I saw in a book I read some years back. Heeding to it will do you a lot of good:
“Tomorrow-men accomplish NOTHING in the world.”
This is to your success as you become a person of ABSOLUTE action.

Hi Bola,
I cannot agree less with your summation on procastination. It is a
cankerworm that needs to be uprooted in every human being inorder
to move forward in life.
I will conclude by adding that “impossibillity can only be found in the
dictionary of a fool”.

Hi Mr. Bola,
I totally agree with you because procrastination has done a great harm to lots of people. It’ll be of our own benefit if we learn to do what we are supposed to do immediately, otherwise the tomorrow could end up being forever.

Bolly,
Do what you need do no matter how trivial it is
while doing that, you begin to VALUE every minute.
am saying this because is working perfectly for me and
i’m enjoying every bit of it.
I urge friends to cultivate the habit of DO IT NOW
“impossibillity can only be found in the dictionary of tomorrow men”.
Keep up the good work.

Dear Mr Bolly,
Your write-up on procastination is not only a classic, it is a very important step to success in any endeavour of life. Every successful person in life are people of definite action and possitive attitude. Sir, I am convinced that many people who are dying in abject poverty today are there because of lack of action. Your blogsite is highly motivating and encoraging, I can only say, more greese to your elbow.
