From 2 Corinthians 9:6: “The point is this: the one who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and the one who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully.”

Hey you, yes you!
Sitting there alone
Life without a view
Lack of efficient action
Reaping fear and doubt
Living without traction
Being a loyal member
Procrastinators Club
Ever since November
Life’s emotional quicksand
Robbing your life rewards
Time to join a new band
Do you really desire?
To find true happiness
Without life’s misfires
Seeking God’s advice
He’ll always support you
His Grace pays the price
Spending little attention
With overwhelming fears
Can’t relax without tension
Take courage, now believe
Jesus conquers the world
Time for your life to achieve
Released from gloom
Fleeing this quagmire
Life ready to bloom
King’s Solomon’s words implant
Whoever watches the wind
Will never attempt to plant
Time to change is now
Adopt new life patterns
Sowing with a new plow
Here’s some simple advice
Now follow this amazing tip
Better than throwing dice
Do first things—first!
Better sooner, than later
Darkest clouds now burst
Each challenge, take it on
Looking fear in the face
Reaping rewards, feeling strong
Handling life, forever free
Tearing up my membership
Procrastinator, no longer me

From American writer and lecturer, Dale Carnegie: “Action breeds confidence and courage. If you want to conquer fear, do not sit at home and think about it. Go out and get busy.”

Good advice about how to stop procrastinating. My late father-in-law always told us, “The best way to begin is to start.”

I wish I could honestly say, “ Procrastinator, no longer me!” Alas, I’m not ready to don the active member of the “Better Now than Later Club.” I’ll come back later and reconsider… 🤣😛

Jan, your thoughts share a smile or two. I’m tempted to look ahead to tomorrow, but it might be full of today’s passed over stuff.
