I procrastinated, judge me

Noble existence in the manifestations that acts on the will and not on doing, invites us to leave the comfort zone...

I looked and saw how big the dreams are and, sometimes, the non-existent possibilities in the operation of my potencies. These powers became popular in the discussions of the philosopher Aristotle, who stated that:

“Potency is all that beings can be”.

Maybe I'm a fraud in the face of what I can conquer and therefore I withdraw. Is this the word: procrastinate? The non-doing accompanies me, I use the famous popular saying “since I understand myself”. So, I'm still frustrated, but it's not just that, there's more; Achievements are ingredients that soon spice up life and take away the bitter taste of defeats, uncertainties and – above all – sustain the understanding that I am a being on the rise, transcendent and protagonist of many plots (these not always well seen, nor appreciated , but which exist and are real).

This noble existence in the manifestations that acts [almost always] on the will and not on doing, invites us to leave the comfort zone; that development formula so significant and literally recognized and applied by Jean Piaget.

In their operational stages (sensory-motor, pre-operational, concrete operational and formal operations), they allow contemplating the stages that are perpetuated from childhood to adulthood. Then he states that:

“Now, by assimilating objects in this way, action and thought are compelled to accommodate themselves to these, that is, to readjust themselves on the occasion of every external variation. The balance of these assimilations and accommodations can be called “adaptation”. (PIAGET. 1999, p. 17).

About these accommodations, I dare to say that it is the attitudes that take us out of the comfort zone or that cause the permanence of it. By not daring and launching into the new, I return to the initial reflection: did I procrastinate?

When reflecting on, we will have chances of changes or not. Will it always depend on motivation or discipline? So many questions... Almost always unanswered. Jeez, loveliness that pursues me.

All the observed provocations, at first, cause me fear. Literally suspension of judgment (poché: Greek term meaning to put between parentheses) is almost always opposed to dogmatisms on duty.

Perpetuating old parchments, building them to be valuable guides to a successful journey, would be one of humanity's great challenges. Folly! These are my challenges that I extend so that others are defendants and become hostage to judgments that go beyond my precepts and reverberate and, even, enter other people's lives that do not allow me to create profiles that describe me as a winner, or a failure, depending on your point of view. .

Perhaps I would be a procrastinator?

Or, I can be a being who only responds to the stimuli caused by possibilities that did not become opportunities for change, due to my relationships and my context. They perceive my mastery in getting rid of the accusations built by the arguments that faithfully follow in my actions and emissions in the item “I PROCRASTINED”; and I don't deny it, you can judge me.
