Dear Fellow artist. Siguro nga po ay mas makakabuti na everytime po tayo gagawa ng art ay kailangan po muna nating ipa-clear sa simbahan o sa prolife. Paghindi po nila na-approve ang ating studies huwag na po nating gawin para wala na pong ganitong klaseng gulo. Para sigurado po, magdrawing na lang po tayo ng flowers, rainbows at landscape ng bukid para wala po tayong ma-offend. Salamat po

Procrastination is a battle between the present and future self. What you are now, is different from the person you are a year after, tomorrow, or even the person you are a few minutes later. 

The trick is to accept the now you will not be the person facing those choices, it will be the future you – a person who can’t be trusted. Future-you will give in, and then you’ll go back to being now-you and feel weak and ashamed. Now-you must trick future-you into doing what is right for both parties.

To put it in another way, doing your work now is like doing your future self a favor. In time, when your future self becomes the present, you’ll have a reason to thank your past self.
