Mirror, Mirror on the wall who's the LAZIEST of them all? Mirror: "YOU ARE!"
I was outside today sitting in my backyard and eventually fell asleep because well, I'm tired! but not the point. i was thinking as I was out there how lazy we really are. when i talk to people, i feel like there is so much stuff everybody wants to do - but nobody does it!! like what you ask? answer this question to yourself - what is one thing you want to do but don't? what is one thing you want to do but "don't have time for?" whatever the answer is - the cause is one thing. LAZINESS. you might be busy sure, but being busy does not mean not being lazy. did you catch that? read it over once more because its true. you CAN be busy AND lazy. you tell me you want to live for other people. you tell me you want to do good, volunteer, stop smoking, stop drinking, start reading more, write a book, sponsor a child. You tell me you are appalled by social injustice that you want to make a stand. You tell me you want to travel around the world and experience new things. Stop telling me you want to meet new people and start a new life. I'm talking about you. I'm talking about me. I'm trying to tell you that we have pushed some of these ideas to the back of our mind as we live OUR lives for US. there is a perspective change that needs to take place here. why do we involve ourselves in so much that we are exhausted by the time it comes to things that matter? and on the other side of the spectrum, when we finally seem to have time, why do we make excuses as to why we CAN'T do something we care about when we so obviously just WON'T? fight me on this, but at the end of the day what can we say we have done? what passions have we pursued? who have we helped apart from ourselves? and even then have we been true?
