Overcoming Laziness

Laziness is a state of inaction. It’s something that you do, not something that you are. Being lazy means you have no motivation to do anything - this is the obvious. However, the mistake that many people make is identifying themselves as someone who is lazy. Laziness or the state of inaction can be seen in a different way.

So what causes a person to be inactive? The answer is lack of goals and purpose. If you give someone a good enough reason to do something, they will do it. People who don’t seem to do anything just haven’t found a good enough reason to do anything. Lazy students don’t study because they don’t see the point in studying. Strong reasons for doing something will result in strong actions. A minimum wage worker earning less than a thousand dollars per month who is offered a million dollars to go to the gym will definitely do so, don’t you think? If you are too lazy to clean out the garage, would someone pointing a gun to your head help you take action? The reason can be positive or negative as long as it’s strong enough to induce action.

The bottom line of knowing how to overcome laziness comes down to finding enough reasons to take action. Action will lead to success while inaction will lead to failure. Before you take action though, you need a compelling reason to do so. To motivate someone who is lazy, what you need to do is help them find purpose and enough reasons to work towards a certain goal.
