This is pretty funny, yep! Ironically funny  - really - by doing nothing you've made a decision, even when your intention was to make it later. Well said, Lou.

Motivational Power Quote

 

 The Pain of Inaction

"We must all suffer from one of two pains;

the pain of discipline or the pain of regret.

The difference is discipline weights ounces

while regret weights tons."

Jim Rohn, author and motivational speaker

  

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

The pain of inaction . . . .  

Success and inaction both have a price.  

Inaction is making the decision to procrastinate.   

Procrastination is making the choice; the choice that is made is inaction which is to take the action is choosing not to act. The price of inaction is enormous and is carried forward in the form of pain in living a life of regret for the things that we did not do and in lost opportunities.  

Taking action takes self-confidence in our decision making and in our abilities. We also have to have the mental discipline to take calculated risks and to make choices.  

In taking action some of our choice will create breakthrough opportunities in our lives while others may have will have little impact, and there will be some that we would like to forget.    

Failing to take action subordinates the action to someone else to make the decision for us. We will lose the ability to make our choices and to choose our actions.  

When it's time to take action we have to step up and take the best actions possible in the conditions that we find ourselves in.                  

The pain of regret for our inaction is carried forward and can become e emotionally draining. The discipline of making choices and taking action has a price but there is peace of mind that we're in control of our choices, our actions and our future.

Yes, not making a decision to act is making a decision to procrastinate.

Good luck and success.
