I need to attribute this, but this story popped into my head last night. I believe I heard it in church about 30 years ago (man, it's embarrassing to say that)...
All the people wanted to get back to Heaven, and there were many tasks to perform to get there. Everybody was sure that Somebody would do the work. Anybody could have done it, but was waiting for SomebodyElse to do it. Somebody got angry because it was Everybody’s job. Everybody got angry because he thought that Anybody or SomebodyElse should do it. Somebody said that she thought it was already done, but didn't bother to check.
Finally the day of reckoning came. Everybody fought to be first in line for the rewards. Somebody was crying because SomebodyElse was pushing and giving cuts. Nobody was patiently waiting for her turn.
Nobody was the only one who made it into Heaven. She was the only one that did the tasks that Everybody, Somebody, and SomebodyElse should have done.
The Moral: Don't Procrastinate. Don't let Nobody be rewarded for things YOU can do.
