They <strong>keep us cranking out work<\/strong> when we\u2019d much rather be putting some hours into whatever new and intriguing source of procrastination we\u2019ve discovered.<\/p>\n<p>And since I\u2019ve found that procrastinating seems to be one of my natural and honed talents, <strong>I try to thwart myself by giving myself as many deadlines as I can<\/strong>. I have deadlines for writing, cleaning the shower, getting certain books read, and even making phone calls to friends.<\/p>\n<p><strong>But I\u2019ve discovered one type of deadline that you should never, ever make for yourself. It will depress you, disillusion you, and completely take the wind out of your motivation. And for many of us, it\u2019s the only kind of deadline we give ourselves.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a <strong>deadline for success<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>It doesn\u2019t sound like a bad idea, at first. We all want success, and it only <strong>seems logical to hang a ticking watch on our vision of that success<\/strong>. I want to be signed with a record label by the time I\u2019m twenty. I want my novel to be a Oprah\u2019s Book Club title in two years. I want my sock monkey business to be grossing seven digits in five years.<\/p>\n<p><strong>When I was in my preteen years, I had pretty much<\/strong> <strong>decided I wanted to be a writer<\/strong>. I subscribed to <em>Writer\u2019s Digest<\/em> and <em>The Writer<\/em>. I decided that I liked coffee on the sole principle that a steaming cup of joe was indispensable to any serious writer\u2019s desk. I inherited my dad\u2019s clunky old laptop and spent hours typing out ridiculously clich\u00e9 sci-fi and fantasy stories, thinking I was really clever for inventing an entire vocabulary of swear words for my characters. (My favorite was <em>Buckletar<\/em>. Guaranteed to get your mouth scrubbed out with something soapy if you were a young lad on the planet of Vextorcal.)<\/p>\n<p>I also <strong>decided I was going to publish my first novel before I turned twenty.<\/strong> Preferably around fifteen or so. I figured that <strong>for a guy of my skills, that couldn\u2019t be too hard<\/strong>. I\u2019d read <em>Eragon,<\/em> by teen fantasy-writing success story Christopher Paoloni, and enjoyed making offhand, scathing critiques of Paoloni\u2019s writing to my friends, inwardly reveling in the fact that I was obviously so much better than that guy.<\/p>\n<p>Basically, I was an egotistical little twerp.<\/p>\n<p><strong>But then I turned fifteen, and I didn\u2019t even have a completed novel yet.<\/strong> I started to worry a little about my self-imposed deadline, but decided that having a published novel at age sixteen was still pretty impressive.<\/p>\n<p>I finished my first novel at about sixteen-and-a-half, and breathed a sigh of relief. <strong>I had the book, all I had to do was send it off to a publisher or something (how exactly did you do that, anyway?) and my dream of teenage fame was in the bag.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Except I\u2019m sure you\u2019ve guessed the rest of the story.<\/p>\n<p>I learned that my novel, although decent for a first attempt, stunk in a number of ways that most first novels do. I also <strong>realized how far I had to go<\/strong> before I could ever hope to see a story of mine in hardcover on somebody\u2019s bookshelf.<\/p>\n<p>And as ridiculous as it seems now, <strong>that revelation crushed me<\/strong>. For a long time, I\u2019d seen writing as <strong>the one thing I could really do well, something that made me special<\/strong>. And it had failed me.<\/p>\n<p>But here\u2019s the thing. I hadn\u2019t failed. <strong>What I had done <em>was<\/em> special. I had finished a book, for crying out loud!<\/strong> I was an author!<\/p>\n<p>The only thing I had failed was meeting my own ill-conceived, unrealistic deadline. <strong>A deadline that almost made me decide to stop doing what I loved.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>That\u2019s what happens when you put a deadline on vague future achievements<\/strong> like fame and success, whatever your definition of those things are. Nine times out of ten, you\u2019ll be disappointed, because <strong>life just doesn\u2019t work like that<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>If you decide you\u2019re going to have your screenplay made into a Hollywood movie before you graduate college, you\u2019re going to be disappointed when it doesn\u2019t happen.<\/p>\n<p>If you decide you\u2019re going to be married before you turn twenty-five, you\u2019ll be disappointed if you hit thirty and still haven\u2019t met \u201cThe One.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Now I\u2019m nearing twenty, and the closest I\u2019ve come to publication is a story or two in an e-magazine.<\/p>\n<p><strong>But I\u2019m fine with that now.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In my journey so far, I\u2019ve learned that <strong>publication isn\u2019t a magic bullet that rockets you to fame and fortune overnight<\/strong>\u2014the vast majority of selling authors have day jobs and save pennies for groceries like everyone else. And I\u2019m fine with that, too.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve come to realize there\u2019s a calling on my life, on your life, and on the lives of anyone who will listen. And if you\u2019re following that call, I believe that <strong>God will make the journey just as satisfying and fulfilling as the destination<\/strong>, as long as we can lay our grand dreams and deadlines aside and <strong>enjoy our lives as they happen<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>And isn\u2019t that a kind of success anyway?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><em>Have you ever put a deadline on your success?
