Give up on yourself

A one sentence solution to procrastination from the late Japanese psychotherapist Shoma Morita:

Give up on yourself. Begin taking action now, while being neurotic or imperfect, or a procrastinator, or unhealthy, or lazy, or any other label by which you inaccurately describe yourself. Go ahead and be the best imperfect person you can be and get started on those things you want to accomplish before you die.

This applies to business, too, of course. Look at Google. They are masters of the search engine universe but can’t seem to get a foothold in the social media market (Buzz and Wave were duds). Yet they keep trying.

How are you going to give up on yourself this year?
