Here is a definition of the word “PROCRASTINATOR”: a person who habitually puts off doing things.
Human nature is such that we will all most likely move forward with things/activities that make us happy and/or feel good. Conversely, many of us will put off (procrastinate) activities that do not bring us happiness. As an example, how many of you procrastinate in finishing off your taxes for the year? This is not a very fun activity, especially for those that owe the IRS money.

Do NOT wait for some futuristic day to begin your journey to better health and happiness. Do NOT be a “Procrastinator”.
