RESISTANCE AND PROCRASTINATION
Procrastination is the most common manifestation of Resistance because it’s the easiest to rationalize. We don’t tell ourselves, “I’m never going to write my symphony.” Instead we say, “I am going to write my symphony; I’m just going to start tomorrow.”
抵抗与拖延
拖延症是最常见的抵抗症状,因为它是最容易合理化的。我们不会对自己说:“我永远都不会去写我的交响乐。”相反,我们会说:“我会写我的交响乐;我明天就开始。”
RESISTANCE AND PROCRASTINATION, PART TWO
The most pernicious aspect of procrastination is that it can become a habit. We don’t just put off our lives today; we put them off till our deathbed.
Never forget: This very moment, we can change our lives. There never was a moment, and never will be, when we are without the power to alter our destiny. This second, we can turn the tables on Resistance.
This second, we can sit down and do our work.

抵抗与拖延,第二部分
拖延症最致命的地方是它可能成为一种习惯。我们不只在今天推迟我们的生活;我们会把它们推迟到临终前。
永远不要忘记:就在当下时刻,我们可以改变我们的生活。没有一个时刻,也永远不会有那个时刻,我们没有能力来改变我们的命运。这一秒,我们可以扭转局势。
这一秒,我们可以坐下来做我们的工作。
