“Procrastination gives you something to look forward to.”

If you’re not achieving what you had hoped to achieve,
What’s holding you back is most likely you.

If you frequently blame, complain, make excuses and procrastinate,
You will continue to be disappointed.

Unless you choose to change what you have done in the past,
Life will never unfold the way you would want.

It’s hard to take full responsibility for your life.
It’s hard to admit that outcomes are directly related to your choices.

How sad to never take responsibility and live with unending regret.

You have the power to change your life.
That ability to change is right now.  This very moment.

Why put it off any longer?  
Make today the day you adjust your course.

For even the slightest adjustment 
Can make a huge difference in the years to come.

Yours in achieving your personal best . . .
