Goldmine Have you ever had one of those days,

Where everything you did felt stilted?

Mental blockages in so many ways,

Your self-esteem has wilted.

Procrastination is around the corner,

Ready to do its deed.

Sat in the corner like little Jack Horner,

Wondering what it is that you really need.

You see,

Procrastination is related to boredom.

They come in equal doses.

So be careful of that too,

Son,

Because they are the world's biggest neurosis.

They travel around together,

Just looking for their next prey.

You see,

Failure needs no planning to get its own evil way.

So,

Every night before sleeping,

Plan your life to your own design.

On waking,

Shake off the cobwebs and tap into your very own goldmine.
