We should take responsibility for our own actions and try to improve them, but we should also not be too harsh and hard on ourselves. Moreover, a lot of fears and obstacles might be impeding our progress towards goals, mostly because we see them as things that are against us.
False and destructive perceptions about how things are, or how they should have been, or how life simply seems unfair to us have been blurring our vision of a better future and usually paralyze us from taking action – the most important element that differentiates dreamers from achievers.

Your memory might help you recall past events when have procrastinated to do something in the past, but that thing in fact turned out to be less scary that it looked like in the first sight. Maybe, or it should be that this project, this task that you are procrastinating to start, actually is similar to that scary one in the past: It might not be that scary. You simply have to deconstruct it and perceive it as a means that contributes towards your progress.
