Laziness is Not Your Answer

Do you dream of a day when you don’t have to work?

When you aren’t so busy, always on the run? Wouldn’t that be great? Just relax and rest and do what you want. Don’t you wish you didn’t have to work for a living?

Well here’s the bad news…a life of goofing off isn’t the answer.

A little rest and relaxation is fine, but too much can really suck the joy and fulfillment out of life. When you aren’t working you have lots of free time and you aren’t preoccupied with important things, you find your mind wandering to the trivial. Instead of making something positive happen that can improve your life, you wind up just wasting time. Time slips away.

Too much rest and soon you begin to rust.

Tasks that you once completed in minutes now take hours. The world is filled with imperfections and annoyances that you hardly noticed before now drive you nuts.

Without accomplishment there’s little joy. Without challenges, life becomes stale. For you to be energized you’ve got to be engaged. Those without work have no purpose.

Don’t dread your work, be thankful for it.

"It is the working man who is the happy man. It is the idle man who is the miserable man." —Benjamin Franklin
