Procrastination has been a topic that hasn't been talked about as much as we should but wait, let me tell you my personal struggles with procrastination and how I got to live above it.
Back in 2001, I sat for the Jamb examination and wanted to go to school but because I was earning some money from my job, I couldn't go to school even when my JAMB cut off mark was big enough to get me admission into any university of my choice but the token I was earning from my job held me back.

I was fade up 2010, I had to drop the job that was so dear to me inorder for me to pursue my education, personally I was thinking I went too late and almost procrastinate again, but not for my siblings who encouraged me to push forward and I did. Resigning from my job was the hardest thing I think I have done so far but right now I think it's the best thing I did for myself.
Now, going to school wasn't the problem, the problem was me not ready to take up the challenge, I was just thinking how I would survive without the little salary I was earning then. I mean, I was going to start another life without any financial support so it was kind of hard for me to come to terms with.
Do you know what I failed to remember? I failed to see that I was consistency being trampled on because of my low academic level, I keep being answerable to people that went to school in the office. Everyday I look at my Juniors coming up and I will be at the feet, I collected the same amount of salary for 8 years, I forgot to see the beautiful part of being a graduate, all these summed up to what made me take the hardest decision I did.
The day I graduated, I stood there with the certificate and looked at it and tears were coming out of my eyes, this wasn't because I made it but because I should've gotten this long time ago but because I allowed temporary enjoyment overshadow my sense of judgement.
Whatever you want to set your eyes to do, make sure you do it as long as you have the zeal to, suppress the will to procrastinate, it will only take from you without adding anything to you. Stand your ground And make sure you get into work, time is ticking a second spent is a second irredeemable, so go ahead and do it scared, do it just like that, do it the way you feel like but do not procrastinate , it is very dangerous.
We will meet at the top my friends, till then be sure to do it anyhow even if it gets to the point of doing it scared and alone, just do it, you never can tell.
