“2018 will be your year if you overcome procrastination.” – Tai Lopez
This Will Be Your Year
This will absolutely be your year if you overcome procrastination. I’ve seen it happen countless times – that moment when someone finally breaks free from the cycle of “I’ll do it tomorrow” and witnesses their life transform. Procrastination isn’t just about putting things off; it’s the invisible wall between you and everything you want. When you push through that wall, you’ll be amazed at how quickly your dreams start becoming reality.
The secret most people miss is that procrastination isn’t about laziness – it’s about fear. We delay because we’re afraid of failing, afraid of succeeding, afraid of change, or simply afraid of the discomfort that comes with doing hard things. But here’s the truth: those fears never completely disappear. The people who achieve great things aren’t fearless; they’ve just learned to take action despite their fears. They understand that courage isn’t the absence of fear – it’s feeling the fear and doing it anyway.
Small wins create massive momentum. Don’t try to overhaul your entire life in one day. Instead, focus on tiny victories. Complete one task you’ve been avoiding. Then another. Then another. Each small win releases dopamine in your brain, making the next action easier. Before long, taking action becomes your new normal. Your brain actually rewires itself to crave completion rather than avoidance. This is when the magic happens – when productivity becomes your default setting rather than something you have to force.
The most powerful shift happens in how you see yourself. When you consistently follow through on commitments to yourself, you develop unshakable self-trust. You start to think of yourself as someone who gets things done, someone reliable, someone capable. This new self-image ripples through every area of your life – your relationships, your career, your health. People notice this change in you and respond differently. Opportunities appear that weren’t there before, not because the world changed, but because you did.
Your future self is watching you right now, hoping you’ll make the decision that changes everything. Imagine looking back on this moment from December, seeing it as the turning point when you decided that enough was enough. The cost of procrastination isn’t just the opportunities you miss today – it’s the compounded loss of all the doors those opportunities would have opened tomorrow. Your life can completely transform in a year, but only if you start now. Not tomorrow. Not when you “feel ready.” Now. This moment. This decision. This is where your new life begins.
