What you may view as Procrastination, I call Mental Preparation.

So often we're operating from anxiety.. of feeling like we "have to" "must do" in order to not be seen as lazy, or heaven forbid, "slothful."

But what if you're someone who's truly more meant to lead, not follow?.. Even if thats just to lead yourself, as I feel we're all meant to.

How can you ever take the time to *develop yourself, if we're constantly running around to prove our worth?

To truly understand your unique, individual needs from those of your Authoritarian figure, telling you even in loving ways, that in-action = unworthiness of success.

What if that method of thinking is actually just feeding your mind the powerful drug, adrenaline? We learn to make hurried decisions, based on someone else's needs and timing, rather than well thought out ones.

When I was a kid, the concept was drilled into me, "Early to bed, Early to rise, makes a *man healthy, wealthy and wise." It rhymes, it must be true.

Now I can see so many lies, well meaning as they may be, but this is not only someone's personal fears and anxiety speaking, it's also mixed with a lot of judgement... I see no wisdom in it.

This person doest know their own inherit worth, to use their time and mind in anyway they imagine. They  don't seem to hold any imagination to consider another routine.... "makes a man"...

I'm so tired of that rhetoric. You are born a person. No man or woman is above another. Money and "success" don't make you, They reveal you.

Everything in life is more a process of Discovery, Through the uncovering of how YOU and You alone, think and feel.

It could really be that simple...

If we could actually learn to think, to become more curious. Not to just blindly believe the platitudes and answers from long ago, As if its our job to repeat and respect then, no questions ask... Then how do we evolve? How do we advance?

We can not remain afraid of information, or of using our own  minds to translate for our own personal experience. Yes there are experts, but even they are learning based off the past... to me, that is procrastinating in another form.. dragging the feet of innovation in the name of a history that never truly supported us all.

I believe our time is meant to be our own, to be used in prepared and thoughtful ways, even if it takes you awhile to think something through, make sure all you do- Leads to respecting and loving you too, not someone else's world view.

Your mental health IS you, remember that good things take time, real changes, take time. Time is on our side and it's our Communication skills  and thoughtful actions that lead to wealth and health.

Clear Communication is money, Time is your own.
