“Only put off until tomorrow what you are willing to die having left undone.” ― Pablo Picasso I should’ve known that when I decided to discuss the topic of procrastination, that I would do just that – procrastinate. When I sat down to write this blog, I found myself finding every excuse not to …
I learned something about myself last night. Something I never would’ve admitted unless it hadn’t smacked me in the face. When it comes to my job, I’ve begun to lose sight of what really matters.

People who have “great ideas” and like spending their time on fake business-y things like designing business cards and logos (I am guilty of this) before they even know what their business is going to be, and putting in the work to get it off the ground. I am convicted by these words even as I write them because unless we (I) are willing to hunt down our dreams by pursuing challenges and prioritizing hard work, we will never take our passion and turn it into our purpose.
“Only put off until tomorrow what you are willing to die having left undone.”

Everyone has the desire to do something big – maybe a dream to be realized. Everyone also has the same 24-hour day and yet one of the biggest excuses people make is that they don’t have the time to pursue their dream and still keep their day job. Dreams require hard work. They require a dedication of our “3 Ts,” our time, talent, and maybe even our treasure. We are happy to use the “3 Ts” on things that have no positive or lasting effect in our own life or in the lives of others, but if we want to make our dreams a reality, we first need to get our priorities in order. First things first, WE NEED TO GET STARTED!
