Get Rid of Procrastination – once & for all

“Finish what you begin.”
When you make a heart-felt decision to finish something meaningful and, then, do it, something amazing happens. You feel energized and all the worry and fear that you felt in the beginning miraculously disappears.
Your mind is free! You no longer feel guilty. The burden is gone and you don’t beat yourself up for avoiding what needed to be done.
In the end, when you finish what you begin, you’re naturally motivated to do more. So, if you feel like quitting, keep in mind that wonderful feelings are waiting at the end of every meaningful task.
Just for you!
Isn't Your Bag Heavy Enough?
One of my teachers had each one of us bring a clear plastic bag and a sack of potatoes. For every person we'd refuse to forgive in our life experience, we were told to choose a potato, write on it the name and date, and put it in the plastic bag. Some of our bags, as you can imagine, were quite heavy.
We were then told to carry this bag with us everywhere for one week, putting it beside our bed at night, on the car seat when driving, next to our desk at work.
The hassle of lugging this around with us made it clear what a weight we were carrying spiritually. We were constantly reminded how we had to pay attention to it all the time. We could not forget the bag and kept putting our bag in embarrassing places. Naturally, the condition of the potatoes deteriorated to a nasty slime.
This was a great metaphor for the price we pay for keeping our pain and heavy negativity! Too often we think of forgiveness as a gift to the other person and it clearly is for ourselves as much as anyone!
So the next time you decide you can't forgive someone, ask yourself... Isn't your bag heavy enough?

In just one moment of simply being, is enough unique richness to echo for a thousand lifetimes. Open your mind, your heart and your senses, and feel the warm, peaceful treasure.
Beyond desire, beyond need, is the beauty that is always here. Gently settle into the all-encompassing abundance.
Beyond desire, beyond need, is the beauty that is always here. Gently settle into the all-encompassing abundance.
There is a great fortune that is already yours. To touch it and make magnificent use of it, just be truly thankful for this moment you have in which to be.
What you are tempted to worry about is nothing compared to what you have and what you can do. The limitless abundance of being is here and now, today.
Feel fully the incomparable feeling of life in all its endless variety. Ride the delightful, refreshing waves of possibility.
In this beautiful moment, you are. Here, now, live your great fortune.
