Why can’t I stop doing nothing ?

It’s another day. You are laying in bed looking at the ceiling wondering why you are in the same place that you were in yesterday. Not physically (same bed, same apartment). But you are in the same relationship you were in yesterday. You are in the same financial situation. You are in the same job, earning the same amount of money working with the same people. It was the beginning of a new week/year and you vowed to make a change. But here you are. Lying in bed. And nothing has changed. And you are beating your head against the wall wondering “Why can’t I stop doing nothing”

I’ve been there brothers and sisters. And I believe the answer that most people would give is:

It is easy

.
To do what you are used to doing takes very little effort. You are on auto-pilot. When you are on auto-pilot you are running around in a daze. Life is a series of waves that you have set yourself up in. And if you keep doing nothing the waves will keep pushing you around. Now you can put your arms out and change direction any time you want. But that requires effort and work.

Don’t be that guy/gal

. Stop Doing Nothing. Pick the things to do that are hard (reading instead of watching TV). Get up and move your body. Nobody ever had great success by sitting around. Change the people that you surround yourself with. Stop ingesting things into your body that provide no nutritional value.

Please start taking an active attitude about your life. You will get further faster. I promise.

    A journey begins with the first step…so start walking! So this today and loved it. It seemed appropriate for your post.

      A journey may begin with the second step too…not always with the first step…
      this is just my humble opinion
