DEADLY PROCRASTINATION

We don’t tell ourselves,

“I’m never going to write my symphony.”

Instead we say, “I’m going to write my symphony;

I’m just going to start tomorrow.”

The most pernicious aspect of procrastination

is that it can become a habit.

We don’t just put off our lives today,

we put them off till our deathbed.

If you hear a voice within you say,

“You cannot paint”,

then by all means paint,

and that voice will be silenced.

-Van Gogh

Inspiration is for amateurs;

the rest of us just show up and get to work.

- Chuck Close

We were put here on earth to act as agents of the Infinite, to bring into existence that which is not yet, but which will be, through us.

I’ve been absolutely terrified every moment of my life—and I’ve never let it keep me from doing a single thing I wanted to do.

- Georgia O’Keefe
