Procrastinating on my Potential

 I am a natural procrastinator when it comes to self related projects or goals. I think procrastination stems from perfectionism and the fear of failure. I may have a fantastic vision of a finished project, such as a blog, and if it doesn’t become "that vision" and fit the description, then it’s not perfect.  Starting a project takes an enormous amount of courage and sometimes it takes a while for “enough” courage to build up. As time passes in the process of waiting for courage, the intensity of motivation and creativity begin to dissipate. Sometimes it’s a slow and gradual leak similar to an inflatable mattress that eventually becomes too weak to support any weight. Other times, out of “that-will-never-happen” frustration, ideas are deliberately set loose like an air-filled balloon set drastically free to fly and fart wildly through the air, landing with a fizzled plop.

My preference is to give all-or-nothing. Therefore I have done…nothing. 

I am realizing the danger and destruction of this mentality and am trying to overcome the idea that ALL has to be done perfectly. It isn’t healthy for me or for those around me. It can affect the simplest of things and weed itself into more significant matters.

Taking action in the face of fear strengthens me to overcome it. Overcoming fear encourages me to pursue my potential.
