Do you want to be a winner in everything you do?  What does it take to be a winner? Have you ever wonder why others are more successful than you.  How do they do it?

One of the BAD attribute that prevent you from becoming a winner is Procrastination.

Asked anyone, they will probably tell you that somehow they have procrastinate to do things that they should have done long ago.

There are several reasons why many people like to put things off to a later date:

- Fear of failure: they are afraid or uncertain of the outcome.  They know that taking up part time studies will help them in advancing their career, but they are afraid that they might not have the time to prepare for the exam or make it on time to the classroom.

- Time: They always think that they have plenty of time and they tends to delay one tasks after another.  Eventually, it accumulate into too many tasks and they just brush aside all the tasks they could have easily completed it if they have do it one at a time.

- Perfectionism: There are people who one to perfect everything that they do.  They are afraid that things might not met their own high standards.

- Indolence: Always lethargic and not showing an interest in anything and doesn't put in the effort to learn how to do it.

- Lack of goal: People who never set goals for themselves often like to procrastinate as they lack a sense of direction and commitment.

Many people didn't realize that when we continuously put things off, it will develop into a bad habit.  There are good and bad habits.  When things turn into a habit, we will do them without even thinking about it. Procrastination is a bad habit and if we do not stop the bad habits, it will have an impact on our life.  The longer you procrastinate in doing things that ensure your success, it will lead you to the path of failure with certainty.

Look at the ants.  They are self motivator and they developed GOOD habits as to ensure that they can survive and thrive.  Try stopping the path of an ant, they will move back, right, left or sideway but they will never stop moving.

Winners are diligent, persistent and hardworking.  They do not put things off until tomorrow when it can be done today.  They make sure they finished what they first seek out to do and they value their limited time on this earth.  Always remember this, your life can only get better when you do it.  If you want your family to become better, you must become a better spouse or parent.  If you want your relationships to improve, you must become a better human being.  Your world only gets better when you stop procrastinating and just do it.

Therefore, kill the BAD habits of procrastination and do not walk in the path of failure.  You can be a winner of life IF you want to be.
