Don’t Delay in 2016 . . . . Take Action

Don’t Delay in 2016 . . . . Take Action

“Delay is the deadliest form of denial.”

C. Northcote Parkinson 1909 - 1993,

British Naval Historian and Author

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

Don’t delay in 2016. . . . Take action

Delaying is the act of . . . . putting off until tomorrow what could have been done today.

Being proactive . . . . is doing what has to be done when it has to be done without delay.

Putting things off . . . . creates stress . . . . and anxiety.

Getting things done puts air under your winds . . . . and lifts you to greater heights.

Being proactive is a choice . . . . a choice of getting things done.

Don’t’ delay in 2016 . . . . Take action . . . . and make 2016 a productive year.

Hi Lou Ludwig , I hadn't really looked at it that way, but you're right! Putting things off sure does cause a lot of stress!

Lou very interesting quote Delay can be very toxic and as you indicated in your clarification:Putting things off . . . . creates stress . . . . and anxiety.

So why should we put ourselves through it?? Have a Happy New Year, Endre

I was proactive today on a conference call to change a construction loan procedure Lou Ludwig . After I got off the phone with the Vice President of the bank, I not only got the change I wanted but I felt better for acting on my idea for a more productive way to service my clients.
