Taking Care of Business...

"Procrastination is just an 13 letter word for SLOTH."
--Bill W., founder of Alcoholics Anonymous

So many times Ms. Pearl has procrastinated instead of taking care of business of her own.  Procrastination comes in many forms, unfortunately and sometimes masks depression or ADD, ADHD and a slew of other alphabet soup issues that any one person can have. 

I've fantasized about my real calling and not done much about it, I've given myself every excuse possible not to do it.

How many times has the fear of someone who knows the gender born you discovers the gender chosen you? How does fear keep you in the dresser and from venturing out?

With that being said, Girls, here's your focus phrases for the day:  1. When fear keeps me from being whom I really am, I... 2. My wasted effort of procrastination would be better spent on...  3. Just for today I am going to open my dresser drawer and...

  1. I understand procrastination. Ever since I was in junior highschool I wanted to be a writer. I'm 35 now and, though I have written alot, I have yet to come to the end of any story. I wonder if my procrastination is born out of my fear of rejection or perhaps even my fear of success. IDK. Thank you so much for this article. I am now a fan of your blog.
