If you think you're lazy, read this

Your mum says you're lazy.

Your friends say you're lazy.

You feel lazy. You act lazy.

Eventually, you agree. The poison takes hold.

You act how you think and think how you act, and your actions slow to a halt.

Now you're a podgy mound on a sofa eating chips, wanting to cry.

Then your friend Stacy rings the bell with chocolate and a book.

You wipe your eyes, scoff the chocs, and open the book that night in bed.

The pages turn faster and faster. Your mind realigns. The ledges slip into ridges with a satisfying spludge.

It finally makes sense.

You were lazy before because you didn't know what you were doing. You didn't have the knowledge to turn action into results, so you chose distraction.

Motivated Malcolm down the road has control because he knows what he's doing. He turns awareness into results, and the wins fire him up to take more action.

The real problem was you didn't understand your craft yet.

So you commit to mastery. You read the books, follow the mentors, put in the numbers, learn from the mistakes, and feel the joy of the wins.

Laziness becomes a smudge on your shirt.

But mastery doesn't kick in without one thing underneath it.

Self-respect.

When you respect yourself, you take your craft seriously. You put in the numbers because future-you deserves them. The motivation problem solves itself when self-respect is in place.

If you want the 25 habits I changed to build mine, my Art of Self Respect bundle covers them all.
