What's stopping you?



What’s stopping you?  This is a question that I often ask people. 
Why do you 
avoid doing things that you know need to be done? 
I am personally guilty of putting off household tasks like cleaning
my garage and storage room.  I have had these tasks on my list of
things to do for longer than I care to admit. 


Below are some powerful quotes about procrastination that I hope
will stimulate your thoughts.1
