PROCRASTINATION

PROCRASTINATION:

A. I was going to finally make a decision to begin a career in acting and modeling this past week.

But, I never got around to it.

B. I've lived my whole life in a production lag.

C. I have a pattern of doing only the things that I am comfortable with

Sound familiar? These are critical levels.

Make a to-do list. Many people do. Then when you actually do the things on your own list, you will probably

have an inner feeling of accomplishment. Then don't quit, do the same thing again tomorrow and then again,

until you reconstruct that pattern.

We have had (seriously) people 50-60 yrs of age come in to see us about finally getting started, in something

they have been thinking about and putting off since they were teenagers. One lady late 50's actually cried once

she finally began giving acting a shot. Then when she got her first small part in 'THE HEAT OF THE NIGHT', 

(some of you may remember that) she broke down and cried her eyes out over the lost years. I will never forget

that, and I'm quite certain she won't either.

Many, too many people in all walks of life with  many different types of dreams fall into this "procrastination" 

category without even realizing it. And then when they finally make a decision to get going, and they don't

knock a home run, immediately. They quit. Don't do that either.
