“What if laziness is a habit of thinking about the cost of things or the effort instead of thinking about the payoff. Reverse laziness by simply developing a habit of thinking more about the delicious food that you’d like to enjoy instead of how long it’d take to get up and go get it. Not thinking about the effort is vital. Focus on how awesome the outcome will be. The dopamine is the thing that gets you up and moving. Think about all the things you do in terms of their benefits, the positive not the work.” -Scott Adams source
Discipline involves separating actions from mood.
The soul of the lazy one craves and gets nothing,
But the soul of the diligent is made prosperous. – Proverbs 13:4
When you arise in the morning think of what a privilege it is to be alive, to think, to love. You have power over your mind, not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength. The happiness of your life depends on the quality of your thoughts. – Marcus Aurelius
