Why your laziness will get you nowhere?

It feels so good when you are sitting in front of your TV or playing your favorite game and a large pizza, large coke and all the tasty burgers and chips are there to give you the best possible company. You are munching on them as if they're never gonna end and the game or the movie just adds spice to the aura. No one is there to disturb you. No one gives a damn about what you're doing and neither do you give a damn about the world. You don't care about the world. The world seems to be an illusion for you and the game or the movie seems to be your sole mission of the life. You just don't care that who will pay the bills and how. The movie/game is your life. When once you got rejected by a beautiful girl you slip into the abyss of depression and the combination of the movie and pizza seems to you like the only way to escape it. Your family is fed up with you and so are you fed up with them. This way, days slip into weeks, weeks slip into months and months slip into years and one day, You're a fat ugly guy. It feels to you as if a big inflated tire is tied around your belly making you look so ugly. Then you start blaming all the people who were behind it, slipping again into that comfortable couch loaded with piles of pizzas and endless cans of coke.

And then, you welcome yourself to "Lazy Land". How does it feel to live in here? Terrible? Yes, undoubtedly.

 So you are spending endless days in front of your TV or the PlayStation and enjoying your pizzas, dude, Is that what life is? I know you'll say to me "Prateek, hell yes! That is life" and in saying this, somewhere down the line you're insecure. You're afraid to be out in the world and play your part. You're a coward. Many times our egos are the curtains to hide our insecurities and that is exactly what you're doing. If you call your couch as the most comfortable place in the world, then please get up and take a whiff of reality, because that's not what's gonna be there in your life always. That is not gonna be the medium to pay your bills.

I know a friend of mine who used to do this all day, I said him a few words and they were harsh, rude and blunt. We didn't talk for many months for the words I said to him, hurt him badly but those were the injections to his self-esteem. And he's doing pretty well in his life now. What I said to him was "R, dude what are you doing? Are you a human or a dog? A real human being works hard to earn his bread whereas a street dog just eats up whatever is thrown towards him which is mostly the leftovers of others. Who are you? I see no difference between you and the dog. You are living on your parent's checks" and then damn! He was hit. Hit like a bullet straight in his heart. I wanted to do that only. But yes, that talk changed him for life. Look at him now and he's much fitter than me! Look at this diagram below and it might give you some realistic idea about what your laziness is doing up to you.

I know I am a bit blunt in this blog post but I just have to. For your betterment. Your fitness levels showcase your mental levels to the world. Like we took the example of a girl earlier, a girl will only like you if she sees that you do take care of your health. Eating up those pizzas now is enjoying, why so? Because your parents are paying the bills. After your parents are gone who will then pay the bills of your pizzas? Ignorance isn't the solution here, awareness is.Laziness very often breeds procrastination, which is the primary reason why average people remain average all their lives. 

Deep inside we all have a longing to realize our truest potential. We all want to change the world. We all want to drive great expensive cars. We all want to live in big houses. We all want to be millionaires. But all this can't just happen with a snap! It takes hard work and dedication. 

By shedding up all the habits that make you lazy, by transcending that "lazy feel", by giving yourself constant motivation that you have to make your today better than your yesterday, you'll automatically set yourself up to win. You'll discover more amazing stuff in the world. You'll see that your PlayStation or the movie can't give you that much happiness than making yourself work harder every day to strive for your aspirations. Once the couch that felt comfortable while playing on your PlayStation will now seem to you like the most uncomfortable place. And why will this happen?because you'll realize that your couch was just a sneaky little tiny hole where you hide from the reality of the world as if it never existed.

 There's no wrong in playing games on PlayStation as well,  do it, but with regard to time. I myself love playing games. But don't play them that often. 

Now I leave you with another question...

EITHER FEED YOUR MIND WITH ALL THE EXCUSES OR FEED YOUR MIND WITH PASSION, DEDICATION, AND WILLPOWER TO STRUGGLE.

Results do vary on both the sides.

YOUR FITNESS IS 100% MENTAL, YOUR BODY WON’T GO, WHERE YOUR MIND WON’T PUSH IT.

Till next time.

Stay motivated. Stay excited. Stay happy. Stay active.
