Putting off

What have you been putting off doing? Why?

I wrote down my big dreams and plans in a book, determined to accomplish everything within seven years.

My goals included pursuing higher education beyond a diploma, reading more for leisure, and continuously practicing self-improvement so I wouldn’t be the same person as yesterday.

I believed that consistently bettering myself would protect me from dementia, make me physically stronger, more alert, and able to think and speak on my feet without hesitation or regret.

I envisioned becoming spiritually inclined, super wealthy, and constantly traveling, with my wealth ever-growing. I saw myself as a leader, providing profitable opportunities for others while giving them employment to support their families.

My ultimate aim was to build and sustain independence. But I realized it all starts with changing my own decisions, not waiting for the perfect moment, and pushing past fear to make things happen faster because life is short.

I don’t want to live in survival mode anymore—it has only left me feeling dumb, sick, and broke. I know this, so why am I not bold enough to act now?

Now that I have the freedom to do what I want, I need to stop putting things off.
