Progression

Success is determined by progression. Day after day, if you work hard you will earn your breaks, one step at a time until you reach the top, the pinnacle of your discipline.

Some people believe in hard work, others believe in fate, and some believe in both.

I believe in progression.

Progress. The fruits of one's labor. You do your time and you'll make your dime.

The entire civilization of this world has depended on progress to break down the walls of curiosity and lead a path into the future. By learning from our mistakes and reinventing everything we know, existence has carved out our place through progress.

Progress can be measured by different degrees, people sometimes refer to these as 'small steps' or 'leaps and bounds'.

Learning a new skill? That's progression.
Making a few extra bucks? That's progression.
Admitting your mistakes? Even that's progression.

The dreaded step backwards is as fateful as rain during an outdoor wedding, or is that a coincidence?

Procrastination. The enemy. The destructive one. The leveling of the playing field.

If procrastination was banned since the beginning of humans on earth, we would have created and mastered things like outerspace exploration, genetic cloning and time travel, ages ago. Honestly, Einstein would have been a proverbial 'Cave Man'.

Thanks a lot procrastination. Thanks for making us wait. Are you a Doctor's office? I will also add alcohol, sex, drugs, sports, reality television and Oprah to the list. Those are distractions too, are they not?

Perhaps we are already living in the golden age of civilization. Perhaps life doesn't get any better than this.

Has procrastination and progression always battled for our time?

Will they always battle for our time?

Eventually one will win. It has to happen. There can only be one.

The winner? Well, my vote goes to pro...

Hang on, I'll let you know next time.
