Deadlines just aren't real to me until I'm staring one in the face.
— Rick RiordanLack of self-confidence is, more often than not, simple laziness. We feel confused and uncertain because we do not know. But instead of making the effort to investigate, we procrastinate and worry. We tell ourselves we can't instead of learning how we can. If we used the mental energy we expend in worry and fear to get out and find out about what we do not know, we would see our self-confidence grow. Lack of self-confidence is not overcome by faith, but by action. It is a lack, not of certainty, but of effort. Too often we are certain that we can't before we give ourselves a fair chance.

— Anthony LiccioneFear stifles our thinking and actions. It creates indecisiveness that results in stagnation. I have known talented people who procrastinate indefinitely rather than risk failure. Lost opportunities cause erosion of confidence, and the downward spiral begins.

— Israelmore AyivorYour later may be late. Never postpone your salvation HOURS to tomorrow. If it's not now, it may be never. The days are not OURS!
— Israelmore AyivorSuccess is not obtained overnight. It comes in installments; you get a little bit today, a little bit tomorrow until the whole package is given out. The day you procrastinate, you lose that day's success.
— Israelmore AyivorIf hard work is the source of happiness, then we can conclude that the main job of procrastination is to delay that happiness for excuses to kill.
