Many people have had such moments:
I want to calm down and finish a book, I want to start running and fitness, I want to learn a new skill, but I don't put it into action, and my plan is ruined.
Seeing others growing rapidly, they are accumulating upward strength step by step;
But he always stood still, blaming himself day by day, and became more anxious.
In the final analysis, it is because of procrastination that people cannot surpass themselves and cycle back and forth in difficult situations.
01 Procrastination is synonymous with mediocrity
There's a saying: Of the easiest things in the world, procrastination is the least effortless.
Procrastination is human nature, and it is synonymous with mediocrity.
If a person always gives the turning point to tomorrow and allows the time to pass at this moment, the state of life will be the same for ten years.
Netizen Yuqi once shared her experience, she was originally a contract worker in the system, and her job content was to sit in the window to collect materials, tell others what to go to next, and what to stamp.
Although the salary is low, it is an idle job, and it is also a stable job in the eyes of the family, so I have been in the unit for 14 years, but unfortunately, last year, the unit laid off employees, and Yuqi was among them.
In fact, Yu Qi had expected this day to come, and a long time ago, she wanted to expand her abilities by learning new skills.
For example, when she was in school, her English was very good, and she thought about resuming her studies and planning more for the future.
But this is only at the level of "thinking", Yuqi has not practiced for a long time, and every day after returning home from work, the time has passed.
Waiting for the end of her career, she was abandoned at will, this year she was 38 years old, past the best age to apply, and there is no hard power to fight against others.
And, because of the long waiting"warm water space", Yuqi's psychological energy has also become fragile, and she always feels that she can't keep up with the rapidly changing world, and the whole person is confused and powerless.
I've heard a saying:Action is the best medicine for anxiety, and procrastination breeds anxiety.
Most of people's distress is due to lack of action, and life is wasted day after day.
When a person does not have full confidence, it is easy to fall into mental internal friction and inner suffering.
It's better to push yourself, make up your mind to overcome procrastination, aim at the goal and act separately, and get out of the difficult predicament.
02 Beat procrastination and let life shine
The writer Yu Hua failed the college entrance examination twice, and inadvertently felt the beauty of literature and germinated the idea of teaching himself to write.
He was a dentist at the time, and it was a big obstacle for him to sit down for a long time and think hard to write word by word.
As a young man, he often looked out the window, where the sun was shining, birds were flying, and laughter was wafting in, luring him out.
He thought it would be difficult for him to stay there for a long time, but he still insisted on sitting, and while everyone else was playing, he was still alone and wrote hard and read a lot.
Three years later, ** works were finally able to be drafted one after another.
Later, Yu Hua said: "In 1983, I published **, and two years later, in 1985, when I went to the editorial offices of several literary magazines, I found that there was no such opportunity, and at this time the editors did not need to look for free manuscripts, so I was very lucky, if I wrote ** two years late, and now I am still extracting teeth, this is fate." ”
Endure the impatience of the moment, delay gratification, and devote time to self-realization, so as to catch up with the others, reach the front-end position, and prioritize the harvest of fruits.
And Yu Hua has long gotten rid of his senseless profession and become a literary giant, living a leisurely life.
As the saying goes: it's gold, and sooner or later it will shine.
However, life is finite, and no one knows what will happen tomorrow. The years are vicissitudes, and you don't have time to see it clearly.
Only by grasping to learn, to complete, to adjust, take the initiative to let yourself shine, in order to shine from the inconspicuous corner.
03 Focus on today's actions
Lin Qingxuan said: Although there will be a new sun tomorrow, there will never be today's sun.
Time is the most obsessed with moving forward, and the last thing a person who really has a goal is to slack off his time.
The blogger plagiarized a cat, who used to be just a tutor and whose financial situation was still very bad.
He has been discouraged and decadent, but he is very conscious that he should not be a mediocre person.
So he has to do more and be more efficient than his peers in the same amount of time.
In order to reduce the time cost of blind study, he spent most of his savings to enroll in lecture classes;
In order to learn more in a new field, he found hundreds of people in two years and communicated with them face-to-face.
In just a few years, he expanded his circle, broadened his horizons, became a big V with millions of readers, and achieved financial freedom.
I like one of his words:
Time is your life, and people should not only manage their finances, but also manage their time.
Don't waste your time on anxiety and focus on today. Live well and live seriously.
If you leave the important tasks that can be done immediately to the inertia of putting off until tomorrow, a week later, months later, or even near the end.
As a result, it will be easier to pass by opportunities, and so on, and the dream will eventually drift away from you.
Only by focusing on the moment, taking action, and patiently upgrading yourself will there be an explosive breakthrough.
No matter how small the effort is, multiplying it by 365 is obvious.
Write at the end:
Xunzi said: "If you don't accumulate steps, you can't reach thousands of miles; If you don't accumulate small streams, you can't become rivers and seas. ”
A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step, and if a person is stuck in progress because of procrastination, then he can only stay in the same place for the rest of his life.
Although, going from 1 to 0 is easy, going from 0 to 1 will be difficult.
However, as long as we can continue to push ourselves, we will not waste time and live up to the every minute and every second of life;
You will accumulate a strong forward momentum, get close to the life you yearn for, and be worthy of your heart.
