EP02 | Procrastinate Much?

Keeping Up With Christianity

We all go through a period in time when we procrastinate. For some people it is just a temporary thing (you know like writers block) whilst for some it is a somewhat permanent problem. Despite procrastination having the potential to keep us from achieving success, so very little is taught about it anywhere. It is just brushed of as a temporary setback that can be fixed by just "getting yourself together". The truth is that it isn't that simple. Procrastination has psychological roots. For some people it stems from the type of parenting they received during childhood whilst for some, procrastination has its root in fear of the unknown. Wherever it comes from both psychological science and the word of God perceive it as something that hinders us from achieving our best. In this podcast we zoom into the issue of procrastination- what it is, its symptoms as well as its remedy. We will take a look into some psychological research and then dive into God's inspired word. As a Christian person, as someone trying to "keep up with Christianity", procrastination is the beast you must slay. The bible categorizes it as laziness and warns of how it leads to poverty and even slavery. All you need to take from all of this is that, if you want to succeed in life, you need to be able to work whilst you can always utilizing what you have at that present moment. Remember that you only live once and what you fail to achieve here will be your legacy when you pass on. Do not allow procrastination to steal you away. Do not allow yourself to fail to reach your utmost greatness. Listen up, you may learn something you do not know.
