The Secret to Success- (straight out of my journal)

A few hundred years ago, Ben Franklin shared the secret of his success with the world. He said, "never leave that till tomorrow which you can do today". Being one of the most respected men in history, you would think that more people would take his advice seriously. Procrastinate? Yes. We all procrastinate, but why? I think that it has a lot to do with fear. Fear of making decisions, fear of failure, & fear of rejection. We can't let these things get in our way of living. We've been told our whole lives: "he who hesitates is lost" & "the early bird catches the worm". Our elders, teachers, philosophers... they've all continuously warned us about wasted time & yet many fail to listen. Sometimes we just have to learn things the hard way. We have to make mistakes in order to truly understand Ben's logic. It's just important to remember that even the biggest failure beats the hell out of never trying.
