Fear and Laziness

The only two things stopping us from leading the life we want to live are fear and laziness.

Laziness is simple.  If we don't want to do anything, we won't get anything done.  If we simply do not work hard and try our best, we won't accomplish what we want to do.  For some, this is the easy one to get over.  They can simply get up and start doing stuff.

Fear, on the other hand, is a little bit tougher to destroy.  If you are scared of something, you will avoid it.  A big part of this is taking risks. If you are afraid of taking risks, you won't be able to do what you want to do.  This may seem very vague, so here are some examples to set you straight.

-Lets say there is this hot girl you want to go out with.  You have never spoken to her in your life, but really like her.  You just can't summon up the nerve to talk to her, let alone hang out with her on a Friday night. The primary blocker in this case would be fear.  You are afraid of what will happen if your "talk" attempt is rejected (Sims reference).


You are afraid of the above.  Poor guy, he tried to pull off the romantic hug when he should have gone with the friendly...




So go for it.  Take the risk.  What is the worst thing that could happen.  I guess if you accidentally comment on her body in a demeaning way she might not like it.  Or if you accidentally grab her, that wouldn't be good either. 

On the other hand, good things can happen. Lets say you have a short conversation, and things go well.  You will feel good inside.  Good feelings are good.



Lets say you want to do good on a test, and need to study.  You are too lazy to study, and would rather watch XBOX (yes you can watch XBOX, its just very boring).  The impeding factor would be laziness.  You are too lazy to study.

Lets say you want to become an Olympic athlete.  You are a sprinter, and want to become the worlds fastest man.  If you are too lazy to run a lot, and too lazy to work hard, you have no chance of achieving your dreams.  Fear can also be a factor, if you are afraid that running too much will take over your life.


So in summation: don't let fear and laziness take over your life.  By controlling those two things, you can control your life.  Do something risky, and work hard for a while.
