“Laziness won’t get you anywhere”

Each of us has our “own” struggles every day, some are too busy making money from their jobs, some are busy attending their home, and some are just busy chitchatting the latest “Chika” in their neighborhood.

What we do every day is still our choice, we make the decision and get our bodies moving of the things that we are assigned to do.

But of course, as human beings we all have our limitations, that’s why we take some break to refill the energies we consumed. However, there are times when we take rest more often, and it couldn’t be called a break anymore. That feeling when you feel you’re too exhausted for doing nothing and tend not to take any steps furthermore.

Laziness for me is a disease that keeps on lingering on my system, yes, I might be good on some woks, busy all day, but still I couldn’t deny the fact that laziness still hits me. And truthfully speaking I hate lazy people, lazy in terms of cleaning and not helping in the household, maybe because I’m a mom, and cleanliness matters to me a lot. Yet, to tell you, I am a lazy person in some circumstances.

And I would say that laziness won’t bring me anywhere.

Before I get motivated, I first get through a thorough reflection, reflections about my actions for the past days and I could say that there was a time when I am a complete lazy foolish lady. Those were the days when I let myself be beaten up by my stressful life. I struggled yet I did nothing to fight back, so I ended up to be sluggish.

And those days gave me lessons that until today I still have with me. I always remind myself that laziness won’t bestow me anything but disappointments and more failure in the end.

Laziness gave me hungry wallets, hungry that they are thirsty and needs an extra refill, lol, but this is true, before the year ends last 2021, I was struggling financially, and I couldn’t blame anyone about it but myself, so I ended up stressed.

And because of that occurrence, I was disappointed, with my work and myself, I just realized I didn’t progress that much at the end of the year. But then, those days I chose to let go and learn from it. I am just human and mistakes are crucial, and I realized those difficult times help me grow.

Now, I am ready to beat that laziness, and I am here to remind myself again, that I shouldn’t let that laziness win over me again. I still have lots of dreams and dreaming won’t be enough to reach them.

Change is always there ready for us to take, and it’s the best time for a change, a change that will help us thrive but not pressure ourselves. And that change will only take place when we let and allow it.

These days, I recognized that what hinders me badly affects my sanity was the tension I put on myself. It's the pressure that I, myself gave to me. I want to achieve something, I want to gain, but how? If laziness conquered my core.

So, I am writing this article to remind me how laziness could impede the progress that I want to accomplish.

Who told you laziness won't give you anything?

It will only give you something, something that you and I wouldn't want to have, I guess, such as stagnant results, and worst, no outcomes at all. It will leave us dreams that remain as dreams forever, goals that remain untouchable.

So, every morning, I always try to remind myself that I am given a chance to do better, if not better, it's still fine, as long as I won't get lost again just like before.

Though I sometimes feel unmotivated, my wallets are there to remind me that,

Hey! eomma we need a refill huh! 🤣

This article will serve as my constant memo that always and will always be, laziness won't get me anywhere. It will only lead me to difficulty, empty wallets, strangled thoughts, and stress.

I know we also need rest, we need to take a break if we know to ourselves that we have done enough, but still this shouldn't direct to inactivity, idleness.

Don't ever waste that chance, that energy to succeed. Beat laziness today, because I swear, I am saying this to you again, it won't get you anywhere.
