Can you imagine....what it would be like....to discover that your habit of procrastination... can really serve you in some way?

If you're like me....and occasionally find yourself wondering why you procrastinate...and honestly attempting to break the cycle....

I can almost hear your mind saying..."That will never happen to me"..

"Procrastination is a habit I dislike...a habit I struggle with...a habit that holds me back...gets in my way!"

I, too... used to feel the very same way....until Saturday.

Saturday....I discovered the procrastination paradox .

It was a rather painful discovery I might add.

In a moment, I'll tell you why...

But first, allow yourself to imagine...that you or someone you love is struggling with having to say good-bye to a family pet.

Picture yourself with a pet that adores you...lovingly greets you when you come home....looks at you with adoring eyes...and unconditionally loves you no matter what you do or say.

Allow yourself to imagine...how difficult it would be...to watch helplessly as a devastating illness....quietly, stealthfully, and wickedly sucks the life out of your pet... and steals your friend away.

Now imagine....that it is up to YOU... to decide...IF and WHEN...you help your family friend...leave this world with dignity...and move out of the relentlessly painful existence they have lived in...to a place of health and joy in heaven.

I discovered the procrastination paradox on Saturday...when I helped my family friend leave this world with dignity....and find her place in heaven.

The truth is that I struggled several weeks to make the decision.....AND...the struggle allowed me to spend quality time with her before she moved on.  That was the paradox.

My struggle with procrastination served me in a number of ways.

The struggle allowed me to fully feel and understand her unconditional love for me....AND... the struggle taught me how to love her unselfishly and unconditionally too.

Katie Philpott...part bassett..part beagle...our family pet... gave me an opportunity to shift my perception about  procrastination.

Saturday.... I decided that I Love Me and Katie Enough to Be Procrastination Free.
