What to do when you can’t get it done? You either don’t know what to do or are unwilling to do what it takes to get it done. True warriors know that the first step in dealing with problems like this is to recognize their strengths and weaknesses. Take an inventory (or review the inventory you’ve already taken) and determine if this is something that you truly can’t or won’t do … and really try to understand the reasoning or rationale behind it. When the true warrior is absolutely convinced that it is something that has to be done by others or it will not get done, and if it is something that must get done, the true warrior delegates or hires the required talent and gets the job done by proxy!

True warriors know what they are good at (or for) and work hard at preventing such a circumstance by making sure they understand fully the expectations and desired outcomes of any venture, quest, or undertaking, before making a commitment to it. More importantly, they only agree if it is the best thing for themselves and all the other parties involved. If it does not serve the best and highest purpose of all parties, then the true warrior declines … and lets a more qualified person undertake the mission. The true warrior does not let their pride demand that they be able to do anything and everything, regardless of their ambition, desires, and skill set.

The best cure for procrastination is to avoid all expectations and outcomes. If you have never agreed to do anything, you will not be able to procrastinate—as nothing will ever be expected of you. True warriors do not procrastinate unless procrastination is called for—as a tool in their arsenal that should be deployed as the circumstances dictate. Unlike most people, the true warrior is not a victim of the personal-character defect that leads to procrastination. The true warrior wields procrastination as a tool.

You are warriors, and by getting things done, you will make a huge difference to yourself and those around you. So it has been written.
