We are now faced with the fact, my friends, that tomorrow is today. We are confronted with the fierce urgency of now. In this unfolding conundrum of life and history, there is such a thing as being too late. Procrastination is still the thief of time. Life often leaves us standing bare, naked, and dejected with a lost opportunity. The tide in the affairs of men does not remain at flood — it ebbs. We may cry out desperately for time to pause in her passage, but time is adamant to every plea and rushes on. Over the bleached bones and jumbled residues of numerous civilizations are written the pathetic words, ‘Too late.’ – MLK jr.
Brilliant reminders about ‘doing’ rather than ‘thinking of doing’ have been popping up all over for me in the past 48 hours…several over the weekend, the above from Seth’s blog. I’m taking it as a sign to spread the word. If you were thinking of putting off that portrait to tomorrow, rather than today, or thinking of not picking up the phone and calling that client, skipping that research for your next short film, or whatever it might be… perhaps you should re-consider and do it today. I sure am.
Thank you Dr. King. Today in your honor….

Hi to all
procrastination is the wastage of time only..if u put on tomorrow then u’r work load will be increased. The most funny thing is that we know that our work will be increased if we will do procrastination. Sooo the question is WHY OUR MIND SAYS,” I’LL DO ON TOMORROW” ?
Chase, truely have connected to most of us. The worst thing to do is just wait and hope and pray it gets done by itself.
Seth Godin has been an inspiration to most.
I have changed my ways and working on a more fulfilling life.
And yes of course, will spread the word.
