There are many causes of procrastination:  those tasks that we don’t want to do, so we put them off; those things we don’t know how to do, so we put them off; those things we know we should do, but suffer no negative consequences, so we put them off.

Does any of the above reasons for procrastinating sound familiar? Let’s face it. If we want to do something and we are excited about it – we don’t put if off. We tackle that activity or event with gusto – enjoying every minute of it.

“Bad things are always going to happen in life. People will hurt you. But you can’t use that as an excuse to fail or to hurt someone back. You’ll only hurt yourself.”  ~  Unknown

I selected the above inspirational thoughts for a reason. At one time or another somebody will hurt you – whether intentionally or not. From your standpoint it will not make a difference – hurt is hurt. So how do you deal with it? I once read somewhere that hurting people hurt other people. Do you really care? Probably not. Should you care. Well that’s up to you.

Why You Must Be Cautious of Sad Quotes

by Kim on February 12, 2010

You have to be careful when it comes to sad quotes. After all, misery loves company.  Have you ever noticed when people are discomforted or unhappy they are more apt to tell and commiserate with others who feel the same?

There are many names for such negative preferences such as:  pity party, the blame game, and the “life’s unfair”  proclamation. So what does this have to do with sad quotes? Everything!

Most of the time, we like to find information that reaffirms our feelings and/or emotions – quotes about sadness can do that for you. Often times, those negative quotations can remind us why we have a right to feel as we do – providing permission to prolong the grief.
