I really do not want to cash in on the current
economic recession we are battling. However, trust me; we’ve got a lot to learn
from it. One significant lesson, I bet you wouldn’t doubt is to get things done
without any delay. It’s not funny that prices are going out of the masses’ way
and skyrocketing to almost an inaccessible level. That seems kinda unfair! No one
is postponing shopping by a week! Better get it done quickly, else you will be
stunned by the new price tag…
Thence, there is one thing that tend to give power
to delay. You think it is procrastination. You may be right though procrastination
itself is more like a refined and formal word for delay. There is one
thing that makes procrastination achievable; this thing cajoles you so much
that you just want to postpone whatever it is till some other time, hoping that
by that time, you would be more prepared, necessary things would be on ground,
it’s just gonna be perfect than any of its kind. Don’t be puzzled and stop
saying it is procrastination, it is actually Perfectionism!
Ask
anyone you know is “procrastination-stricken” what his reasons are. You will
definitely get responses like; I want to add this or that, I want a unique
concept, I think I can still come up with a better idea… the cure for procrastination is
to start, the antidote for perfection is to act! Late Harriet Braiker, a clinical
psychologist once said, “Striving for
excellence motivates you; striving for perfection is demoralizing. What
idea or concept are you still awaiting? Get off it and put what you have on
ground to work! We are just too imperfect to come up with anything perfect!
Has it ever dawned on you that perfection is more of a
limitation? You are indirectly telling yourself you’ve reached the
peak, you’ve done what no one has done before and as a result can recline and
work no more. Don’t be deceived! Perfectionism is a well-packaged hoax;
no human can attain it!
The good news is that you can be described as being “almost
perfect”; exceptional, out of this world, unique, astounding… You will
earn those qualifications when you give life to the little idea you have in
mind without nursing any fear of mistakes or imperfection. You can have
a million and one beautiful ideas building up in your brain, it still sum up to
nothing until it becomes something concrete. Dr. Idel Dreimer says, “It is better to be perfectly useful than uselessly
perfect.” Think many applaudable things! If you do nothing, you will
achieve zero.
“The secret to doing nothing is
perfectionism; get off it quick! Get started and get going!”
Have a fantabulous week!
