Motivational Power Quote

 

Procrastination is an Action

“Action is a great restorer and builder of confidence.

Inaction is not only the result, but the cause of fear.

Perhaps the action you take will be successful;

perhaps different action or adjustments

will have to follow, but any action is better than

no action at all.”

Norman Vincent Peale, author

 

 

As I see it. . . . . . . .

 

Procrastination is an action

If you choose to take no action you leave the outcome to someone else to choose for you.

 

Inaction is the action of doing nothing.

 

The lack of action can be traced back to one of several things.

 

At the top of the list is either a lack of confidence in decisions making, or there’s a choice to procrastination. In either case you would have made a decision not to act. In both cases inaction will become the silent killers of hope and careers.

 

The single biggest reason that a person elects not to take action is fear.

 

The fear of either making a mistake or the fear of failure will paralyze a person into inaction.

 

Taking action is a far better choice than taking no action at all. By taking action you will build your confidence and self esteem to step out of your comfort zone.  Elect to take the actions that are required.

 

Inaction is the action not to make a choice to act.

 

Procrastination is an action to watch the world to pass you by. Taking action is taking control of your future and your results.

Lou, there's a lot of truth here!  I think fear of failure and fear of rejection are huge mountains many of us have had to climb over!

Hi Lou,

I think I procrastinated today, but the excuse today I think was because  I was overwhelmed with what to do first.  I will be back on tract tomorrow!

True -- very rarely is anything standing still -- it is usually moving forward or moving backward.  Inaction is, in a sense, a choice -- but one which rarely moves you forward.

When you take action you have control and can take steps to correct the direction and speed. If you take no action nothing gets accomplished. Once again a great choice of quotes! Enjoy your day!
