Laziness Is A Curse

Personal success is a desired outcome for many people whether success is home schooling your children or making millions of dollars.  Personal success is about going out and doing something to get your desired result not complaining about it and hoping reading a blog or book will be the magic bullet to get your to your desired result.  I know two people who want to start their own business and they have gone to over 10 conferences in the last five years on setting goals and designing their lives but they refuse to actually do anything and spend every dime they get to eat out or buy some new thing.

As a coach I talk to people all the time  like this.  This was me for a long time, because it is just easier to complain about my miserable job than it is to just do something.  One day I just jumped.  I told my wife I was never going to get my practice started if I continued to flounder at my job.  We knuckled down for a couple of months and I did it.  That was two years ago this week.  I can’t tell you it has been easy or that every month is easy; but it sure is better waking up every morning looking at my two son’s and knowing that I am affecting them positively everyday than it was getting up looking at a road full of cars and doing something that I had hated for ten years.

Every person has a reason to be on this earth.  It is not the same for every one but you are here for a reason.  You have a certain set of talents that will help you do certain tasks.  Starting a business may not be for you, but there is something out there that you fit like a long-lost puzzle piece and you need to find what that is.  It takes effort to find what your are designed to do.  Lazy people won’t take the time or make the effort find their calling.  The reason is that lazy people want to complain so they are getting the best out of their job for themselves by complaining about it instead of changing it.  If you are like most people then stay at your job.  Stay and be miserable and complain about the boss and your coworkers that you just hate.

The good news is that, laziness is a curse that can be overcome.  Start finding the good in the job you have.  This will improve your view of life right off the bat.  Second start dreaming about what you love to do or what you wanted to do as a kid.  Look at the world differently by looking at the beauty in every day things. Turn off the TV.  Go for a walk whether its is in a park or just down the street.

Stop letting laziness control your life.  I know it’s hard to be a contributing member of society but how about giving it a shot.  Take care of the things that need to be taken care of, stop looking for the magic bullet and do something to advance your life
