The Unexpected Antidote to Procrastination

Highlights

Here’s the thing: More often than not, our fear doesn’t help us avoid the feelings; it simply subjects us to them for an agonizingly long time. We feel the suffering of procrastination, or the frustration of a stuck relationship. I know partnerships that drag along painfully for years because no one is willing to speak about the elephant in the room. Taking risks, and falling, is not something to avoid. It’s something to cultivate. But how? Practice. ^rwhi455608314

And when you fell — because if you take risks, you will fall — you’d get back on the board and paddle back into the surf. That’s what every single one of the surfers did. So why don’t we live life that way? Why don’t we accept falling — even if it’s a failure — as part of the ride? Because we’re afraid of feeling. ^rwhi455608315
