Dear reader,


Welcome home.


Today, I'd like to spare a part to talk about the disease of our 21st century; procrastination.


Special thanks to Andrew Kirby, for the inspiration and helping me acknowledge a piece of factual information.


For a while, including me, humanity has been suffering under the hands of procrastination. I always thought when I name it as "procrastination" it's a way of ignoring and denying that I was responsible from the choices I have made. However, respecting and accepting my accountabilities, I just learned that procrastination is indeed a scientifically proven fact.


Acknowledging this fact, and zooming all the way in, problem detected. Now, now... How do we solve it, and fast?


While watching Kirby's video, I played my own process in my mind in fast and slow motion, zoomed in and observed the little details I have not yet recognized at the time I was in progress.



As humanity, we are evolving at an uncapturable speed; however, similarly to "growing" each part evolves at its own pace of time.


Our brain is set on one thing:



SURVIVE!



Unfortunately, as the citizens of 21st century, survival is not sufficient for us anymore. Why? Because we want to do and be great.


Good is the greatest enemy of great.



Survival mode has no intention for the brain to reach its full potential. And for years I've been asking, what is actually the true potential of human? It's my belief that each and every answer and magic we're looking for is already within us, hidden in pandora's box, our brain.


In the level of our evolution, brain still wants to preserve its energy and do the bare minimum activity, only to survive. Being lazy, not in all cases, is not a disease; it is procrastination.


I'd genuinely suggest you to watch Kirby's video because he explains the process diligently.


My plans were to dig even deeper, but now I find it better leaving the microphone to the source of my inspiration.


Here is the link if you've missed it above.



I'd like to end with two quotes:



"Most people only act when the fear of inaction is greater than the feel of acting."

A. Kirby




"I sat with my anger long enough, until she told me her real name was grief."

Unknown Author







Thank you.


See you very soon.
