Why choose pain intentionally?

Not making a decision leads to the decision being made for you, and it’s usually the most damaging of potential outcomes.

All across your life, procrastination leads to decisions being made for you. Forced to give up that car you love, forced to lose out on time with your kids, forced to lose a relationship, forced to lose a job, forced to lose your business, forced to live or work in a way that you don’t like, and just generally forced into all kinds of uncomfortable situations.

All of which are usually avoidable by just working and starting at the work right now. No more waiting, just begin.

Procrastination is not choosing to have fun or avoid work, procrastination is choosing to suffer more tomorrow–and suffer with regret.

 
A man who procrastinates in his choosing will inevitably have his choice made for him by circumstance.
— Hunter S. Thompson
