Phil,
Thanks for quoting.
Quote:
Denis Waitley
Procrastination is the fear of success. People procrastinate because they are afraid of the success that they know will result if they move ahead now. Because success is heavy, carries a responsibility with it, it is much easier to procrastinate and live on the 'someday I'll' philosophy..

Denis is just plain old wrong.
You see, Procrastination is, in fact, part of our make up. Part of our built in survival mechanism. It is NOT - repeat NOT - due to the fictional "Fear of Success" malarkey. (People only procrastinate on Some things. There are Plenty of things they do that require "Success" at which people do not Procrastinate... so it's not "Fear of Success" at all.)
And those who've read
The Success Report know that it isn't "Fear" (of whatever) which holds someone back. Even if you Think it is.
Take Dien, for example (I am using you Dien as you had already expressed something relevant and for convenience).

I have a "fear" of "offending" people... I hate the idea that I might "offend" others.

And yet Dien Does offend people in Certain Ways. Such as making forum changes despite requests otherwise - removing the email address from the old forum for example, and calling it a "test" to Quiet those who wanted it to stay.
I won't get into the why's and wherefores of Selective Offending, but thought it appropriate to draw attention that... things aren't as you Think they are or as they at first Appear. And that's just the way of things.
