What is it that we are waiting for? Something to fall from the sky? Why do we wait and wait for something to happen- or hit the last minute to make something work?
"How soon 'not now' becomes 'never'.” --Martin Luther
Isn't that the truth? I always wait until the last minute. It's really not intentional, yet somehow everyone's needs come way before my own- and next thing you know, I'm trying to get something together last minute in a mad dash.
My examples range from not packing, to making an important decision- and it really doesn't matter what it is because if I can wait, I will.
Sometimes, I just wish that people would make the decision for me. If I could hire a PA, I would because it would allow me to make them make me important and plan for me. Ha! I'm sick and twisted-- I know.
My therapist (yes, I have one- and she's amazing) talked about the reason why people place others before themselves have a need to nurture and be nurtured. I had to think about that a bit. I've never considered myself someone to be nurtured- I've always been a very independent person. I had to- and glad that I was placed in that situation.
Yet, what I did believe was that this lack of making yourself important really does a number on someone. When does someone decide that the greatest person to take care of is themselves?

Lastly, I did find this article about procrastination here. An interesting read, perhaps it will inspire me to continue making changes around what really is important.
But right now, I'm not gonna procrastinate in drinking this delicious cold beer. Ha! Guess I really have my priorities straight!
My goodness - I can totally relate!
