Procrastination : Why And How To End It
Hey my friend!
In this video series, you’ll find out :
1) The 3 biggest reasons why people procrastinate
2) How to stop yourself from procrastinating immediately
3) A simple technique I created to prevent myself from falling into the “procrastination rut” that you can use freely
From Procrastination To A Life of Passion!
I was browsing through Facebook just now when I saw something that switched on a lightbulb for me :
Of course, this might not mean anything to you. Actually, it shouldn’t mean anything to you… but it contains a great secret for moving from procrastination to a life of PASSION.
To me, this photo depicts PURE and TRUE passion!
Let me explain it to you.
You see the girl on the left? That’s Julia Abueva. She’s a singing prodigy and she’s only 14. Yes, she’s one of those really talented children of God.
I don’t think I could explain to you how good she is. Her singing is simply beautiful (I caught her in a musical recently here in Singapore)
How beautiful?
It’s “I’ve been featured on Oprah” beautiful.
Yes, she’s been featured on Oprah! AMAZING!
(Julia, if you’re reading this… you’re a true inspiration!)
You can view clips of her beautiful singing on her Youtube channel by clicking here.
The Secret To Being Featured On Oprah
Anyways, back to the secret this photo holds.
TRUE and PURE passion.
I don’t know Julia personally but I’m guessing that this was taken at a family gathering. Yet, she’s singing for her family.
What’s wrong with this picture? Nothing.
But something might be wrong with yours, my friend.
You see, over the past few months of coaching people, I realized that almost everyone has the wrong impression that your passion should be something that you during an “allocated time”.
That’s nonsense! (And when you think of it, you’ll know it is!)
Pas-sion : - noun
a strong or extravagant fondness, enthusiasm, or desire for anything: a passion for music.
Passion isn’t something you allocate time for.
It’s something you’re thinking about ALL the time!
It’s something you should almost be obsessed with!
It’s something you live, eat and breathe!
What’s Your Passion?
I’ve got to be honest with you, my friend.
I got distracted by a lot of stuff over the past two years and haven’t been truly living my passion.
But after seeing that photo, it all came back to me.
How passionate I used to be about personal development.
How I would go around and tell all my friends about these quotes from wise people (that in turn make me sound wise lol).
How I would speak like Tony Robbins and say stuff like “LIVE WITH PASSION!”
Today, I’ve found my path of passion again :
Change lives by motivating and inspiring people towards the untapped greatness in themselves and creating MASSIVE results with the help of personal development technology.
Now You Talk, I Listen…
How about you, my friend?
What’s your passion?
Drop me a comment and let me know what you think!
I’d love to hear from you ( I respond to all comments personally!)
I’ll talk to you soon!
Always ICAN! (Improving, Constant & Never-Ending)

Thank-you so much Saiful, you’ve been rally helpful and the videos you made about procrastination,I understood them completely.Procrastination is probably my biggest peoblem in acheiving my dreams and goals,and after saw your videos, know I just want to get up each morning when it’s dark and run and do all kinds of helpful things. I am currently training in boxing, and I hope of making a career of it in the future, but the true passion that really burns inside of me is acting. I have always since I can remember wanted to be an actor, but that requires alot of money and time. I don’t have much money,what are your toughts Saiful what should I do. Thanks!!

Hi Gabriel!
You’re welcome, my friend! It’s quite a surprise you
understood the videos completely lol I mean, considering
how fast I was speaking!
And yes that’s the way my man! Wake up every morning
and just MOVE - don’t even allow your mind to think!
As for your question, only you can answer that.
I too have a passion for acting.. I’ve done many plays
in the past and believe me when I say I love it but I’ve
chosen to do this whole motivational speaking thing.
Maybe if I explained to you why, it might help you in
making your decision.
I have the skills to be a professional actor but when I
thought about it, I found that it’s best to do it at a later
point in my life for 2 reasons :
1) It doesn’t change lives (the biggest part of my wheel
of life in order for me to be fulfilled)
2) It doesn’t financially sustain me
However, if I become a motivational speaker, I can apply
the same skills of acting and do the BOTH things I mentioned.
So, maybe what you could do is to :
1) Find out what fulfills you most
2) Make a decision based on that
Hope this helps, Gabriel! Thanks for commenting!
Always ICAN!

Like always you understand to make it simple and all simple things are ignored (human nature, it can’t be so simple, human have to make it complicated so we can complain and blame) Procrastination is bigest virus in the world and I hoppe you did ‘cure’ many people of that virus with you video. Thank’s
Love and blessings
