All I hear people of my age (around 20) say is that they are too lazy their spirit animal is a bear because they love to hibernate. Their favorite animal is cat because they have a cat and all the cat does is just slack and lay on the couch which is the best thing ever. I really don’t understand this but where are we going as a society. I think of my parents and their generation in general how hardworking and committed they were. I mean that they could work all day everyday and still be happy about life. They don’t want to retire because their passion of their work is more important to them than excuses. Find the thing that matters to you the most and you will stop procrastinating, it is simple.
If I tell you now you will get everything you ever wanted and all you have to do is work on a task for 6 hours. You would jump on it right away with everything you have. Guess you are not procrastinating now. I have tried to develop this habit of trying to make the best of my time and stay away from my phone. Cell phones are a very powerful machine and you can literally get everything you ever wanted from it, all the required information but leave it at that. Stop watching Netflix and watch something productive. Every piece of information you ever need is available you just have to search for it. The only thing you should not have in this 21st century is excuses with so much at your disposal.
Find the reason for your existence and work hard day in and day out. If life was easy every time and you didn't have to struggle, you would be weak. Think about it, if you wanted to get something and there was a genie who basically presented it to you and you did not work for it, would you know the importance of it. I used to cry and moan about it when I was young and every time my dad said no to some unnecessary how would say to myself that I don't like my dad and when I have children I will buy them everything they ever wanted. Then, I immigrated to Canada I felt how hard it was to make money and how tormenting it is mentally, emotionally and physically. I decided to do these calculations. If I take a cab I will have to pay 10 dollars, so I would say to myself I will walk instead in -30. It will save me some money. I now realized how important those daily walks were to build my character and the work ethic I have now. If I got everything easily eventually there would have been something that would have been bigger than me and would have crushed me.
Acknowledging the fact that there will be challenges and facing them head-on not only makes you stronger but also gracious and humble, which according to me are the most important characters a person should have to achieve what they want. When you look for inspiration do you look at stories of people who were basically born with a silver spoon or the ones who started from scratch, when you talk about successful entrepreneurs you never look up the ones who were born rich. There is no fantasy no fun no drive and no motivation to it. Instead, you look up Mark Zuckerberg and Steve Jobs. The struggle is the fun part not the fearful part. Follow the law of attraction, think you will get it eventually, stay positive and have this in your mind I don't how, but it will happen and keep acting on your intuitions the results are a matter of time. The more struggle the more you and the rest of the world will appreciate you. I look at struggles as opportunities and experiences. I have trained my mind to a point where I try to find the opportunity in oppression. Mind you it has taken me around 6 months of daily self-motivation and a lot of education and a lot of practical experiences, but I have witnessed that the Law of Attraction is the most magical thing in this universe. Believe it or not but the vibe and the signals you send to this universe it will revert back to you the same feelings and energies.
I am from a family where my parents raised me to be happy and content with whatever we had had. I was sitting on the bus one day and came up with a theory. All man has ever needed was food to survive and that is the only thing that has not changed since the beginning of mankind. He was happy to find food on a daily basis and feed his family. But he wanted to learn more and kept on discovering and inventing things that could make his life easier, he wanted to eliminate all the potential threats even before they arrived or otherwise he would have died. It is the same with your success and your life in general. You should be happy about what you have in life but always looking for more, otherwise if you are not expanding has a human being both emotionally and physically you are dying every day.
