Get What You Want By Being LAZY

Scott Smith - Motivation and Coaching
About this episode

I have an admission. 

I'm a bit lazy. Yes, I also like to work harder than most people. Still, I'm lazy when doing things I don't want to be doing.

It's been said that when you do what you love, you will never work another day. Frankly, I've found it to be quite the opposite. I love what I do, but it is challenging and takes time and effort. 

Still, I'm lazy. I want everything to be easy, and I want it now. I don't think I'm different than anybody else. I'm lazy. Yes, I'm driven. I'm also lazy.

I think I made my point. And if you know me well, you may think he's not THAT lazy. 

Oh yes, I am…

While it may take a long time to master the skill required to make things easy for myself, I'm only willing to go through the hard work if it allows me to be lazy - someday.

And do you know what the coolest thing is about being lazy?

Not only does your initial hard work allows you to be lazy, it makes what you do look easy to others. Too bad for them. I guess they were sleeping or binging Netflix when you were working so hard to make it look easy and be lazy.

Here's today's life lesson.

It's good to be lazy as long as you are willing to do the work required to allow yourself to be lazy - someday.
