Procrastination.

It’s something we’re all guilty of. Perhaps some of us put of doing the things we need to do because we’re simply just too lazy to do them, whilst other times there are much deeper reasons as to why we hold ourselves back.

Every time you put your head in sujood, a million doors open. Then it’s your choice to walk through them or just stay there.
