There's nothing wrong with that, in fact, it's actually something good to do. What I find wrong is the fact that we condition ourselves to wait for a specific moment (like mondays or new years) to start working on our goals. In the past, I have learned that the longer the wait is, the harder it is for us to take that first step towards achieving our goals.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Why can't we start our new diets on a Thursday? Why can't we start our workout routines on a Sunday? You see, we should use that same motivation that makes us say, "I'm starting on monday/next week/month/year" to start NOW.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://26.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lbuagxArOt1qdbbywo1_500.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="265" src="http://26.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lbuagxArOt1qdbbywo1_500.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;You heard me, right now is the moment to change any aspect of your life that you wish. You have no idea how much your circumstances may alter, like a shopaholic who keeps putting off&amp;nbsp;controlling&amp;nbsp;her shopping sprees until she has already blown off all of her savings.&amp;nbsp;What I'm saying is, don't put off your goals until it's too late because then you will never get to achieve them. There will always be something in the way, a new obstacle that will keep you stagnant. Then again, that is why they are called goals, nobody said it would be easy to achieve them. And the thing with goals is that one of the hardest things to do in order to achieve them is to start trying.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;So what are you waiting for? Get your butt moving! &amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3232781114503855345-8795835716347586314?l=sinthemiddle.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://sinthemiddle.blogspot.com/feeds/8795835716347586314/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://sinthemiddle.blogspot.com/2012/01/procrastination.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3232781114503855345/posts/default/8795835716347586314'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3232781114503855345/posts/default/8795835716347586314'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://sinthemiddle.blogspot.com/2012/01/procrastination.html' title='Procrastination'/><author><name>Hillary Sharp Dimitri</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='22' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_m0lZ1J-l__M/SkKKXRNzaoI/AAAAAAAAAAM/b9W-8ohIxvk/S220/swings.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3232781114503855345.post-6443357133021949660</id><published>2012-01-02T07:38:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2012-01-02T07:38:20.092-08:00</updated><title type='text'>New Year, New Blog</title><content type='html'>&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;2012 has finally come. This year may be the end of the world as we know it, or it may not. Anyways, if the fear of not having another year to live is what it takes to get us to live a fuller life, then so be it. This year I am determined to &lt;i&gt;do&lt;/i&gt; more. I know it is probably one of the ultimate cliches, but there's something about a new year and a new beginning that enthralls me. I feel freer to start on new projects and grow more as a person (and no, it has nothing to do with the fact that I am finally a legal adult!).&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;2012 gives me many opportunities and today I am taking one. Every year, I look for more ways of helping others and now, I have found one that will allow me to help different people in different ways. In this blog I will mostly give advice on many topics, from guys to dealing with your own identity but I will also post cool stuff that I find in the internet, as well as stuff about myself and what I do.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;I hope that you find my blog to your liking and I promise that things will be very interesting, so keep posted!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;May 2012 bring wisdom and happiness to your lives!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://static.desktopnexus.com/thumbnails/921270-bigthumbnail.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://static.desktopnexus.com/thumbnails/921270-bigthumbnail.jpg" style="-webkit-user-select: none;" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3232781114503855345-6443357133021949660?l=sinthemiddle.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://sinthemiddle.blogspot.com/feeds/6443357133021949660/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://sinthemiddle.blogspot.com/2012/01/new-year-new-blog.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3232781114503855345/posts/default/6443357133021949660'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3232781114503855345/posts/default/6443357133021949660'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://sinthemiddle.blogspot.com/2012/01/new-year-new-blog.html' title='New Year, New Blog'/><author><name>Hillary Sharp Dimitri</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='22' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_m0lZ1J-l__M/SkKKXRNzaoI/AAAAAAAAAAM/b9W-8ohIxvk/S220/swings.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
