"Work it, make it, do it, makes us Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger," Kanye West

This is the phrase I need right now. I've noticed that these last two weeks I've been procrastinating more and more, which is very problematic. Sometimes we get caught up in the strides of life and forget to appreciate where we are at. I caught myself doing this just the other day; I was sitting at the kitchen table looking out the window thinking of the future. Sometimes I just want to get done with this part of life and move on to the wife and kids, house and vacations part. But wait! I'm young and in college. At this time in my life I have the least amount of responsibility I will ever have. So why am I being so lazy and day dreaming of the future? I guess it's easy to get complacent. When the road becomes challenging it's easy to slow down the pace. Is that the right thing to do though? No. Right now is when we get to lay our foundations. Within these next few years I will be building my groundworks for a career, discovering who I am, and building friendships that can last forever. So in the words of Mr. West, "Now that that dont kill me can only make me stronger." It's time to do the work, put in the time and effort. The more I can do today the better tomorrow will be. That is all.
