Many people have a tendency to procrastinate in one way or another. We all have excuses that cause us to delay our goals for another day.

When you continue to make excuses or wait until the right circumstances are in place, you run the risk of never achieving your dreams. There comes a point in time when you have to override the excuses and take action.

I want to encourage you to take action as soon as possible. Don’t wait too long before charging after your destiny. Everything doesn’t have to be in place before starting. No, sometimes you have to take a step out on faith.

Ecclesiastes 11:4 says, “Farmers who wait for perfect weather never plant. If they watch every cloud, they never harvest.”

I always say life if full of twists and turns. Even if the conditions are favorable in the beginning, whose to say that they will stay that way? Whose to say that the adversary won’t throw a curb ball your way?

I’d encourage you to do like the scripture says. Don’t wait for the perfect weather. Don’t  wait until conditions are perfect, no, you must be diligent. You have to charge after your dreams even when things around you aren’t looking favorable. A curb ball may get thrown but continue to take action. It may rain on your parade but don’t delay, continue to take action.

If your goal is to buy a new home, call up a real estate agent. Take a drive out and look for a new home. Don’t delay, take a step out on faith and watch God carry you the rest of the way.

If your goal is to lose weight and get in shape, start out small. Do small exercises just a few times a week. Start by curbing your diet. Don’t put it off further. Don’t make excuses. Don’t look at all the reasons why you can’t do it, look at all the reasons why you can do it.

Let procrastination be a thing of the past. You will always encounter excuses on why you shouldn’t do this right now or why it would be impossible to do that, but fight the urge. Don’t procrastinate, take charge and go after your destiny.

You will be surprised at what you can accomplish when you start making excuses on why you can do it, instead of why you can’t do it. Delay no further and take action. Before you know it, you’ll be one step closer to your destiny!
