1. The first one is the majority of people; they never start. They never do anything. They sit there and be lazy. They never work on their dreams.They never do what they are supposed to do. They are just waiting for something good to happen.2. The second type of people are those who start, but as soon as things get hard, they give up, and then they regret why they gave up.3. The third type of people are those who work hard, don’t give up despite hardships, and keep going. They are the one percent who do become successful.

3 Types of People:

Success does not consist in never making mistakes but in never making the same one a second time.

A comfort zone is a beautiful place, but nothing ever grows there.

If everyone is thinking alike, then somebody isn't thinking.

Discipline means doing anything that needs to be done. If this means working hard, then you will work harder. If it means working smarter, then you will be working smarter. Never avoid doing the things you want to do just because they’re hard.

Do what needs to be done

Only put off until tomorrow what you are willing to die having left undone

If you don’t choose what you want, somebody will choose it for you, and you may not like it.

The biggest reason people remain lazy is that they keep thinking that they aren’t good enough

Done is better than perfect

If a decision is reversible, make it as soon as possible. If it is irreversible, make it as late as possible

Whenever you’re trying to do something new, always try to keep it as simple as possible. Don’t try to do too much at one time. Don’t overthink about all the things that can go wrong. Most of the time, they don’t go wrong at all. What you should do is to start as soon as possible. You need to have urgency. The urge to do things fast. Not urgency in getting the desired results but the urgency in doing the work. Let’s say you want to learn how to create a website. You can start right now, or you can keep waiting.

Keep it Simple!

If you don’t write down your goals on paper, you should start doing it now;you will not regret it. If you have clearly written goals and read them regularly, they will motivate you. You will feel some guilt if you don’t do what you have written. Even if you achieve half of your goals, that’s still better than doing nothing.

Write down your goals

THIS TOO SHALL PASS.

We must all suffer from one of two pains: the pain of discipline or the pain of regret.

It’s hard to delay gratification because we want to enjoy things now.Nothing is wrong with it, but the problem arises when you do things that harm your future. Actions that you will regret in the future, and you will be asking yourself why did I do that?You must look in both directions: present and future. You must enjoy the present but not at the cost of your future. By being lazy, you don’t enjoy both your present and future.

Delay Gratification

You can’t do everything. We have limited energy and must spend it in the best way possible.

Learn To Prioritise

Procrastination means avoiding doing a task that needs to be done by giving excuses to do it later. Without giving excuses, you will feel bad, and we don’t want to feel bad, so we give different types of excuses. The most popular one is “I’m waiting for the right time.” The time will never be right;it can’t be perfect. There are always going to be obstacles in your way.Many things will try their best to make you lazy and procrastinate, but you must overcome all of them.

Procrastination is the enemy of discipline

We should set clear goals that are both possible and can be achieved quickly. Setting huge, ambitious goals is not bad, but the problem is if you're a super lazy person, you will not work toward that goal because it would seem too hard and impossible to achieve. That’s why in the start you should set small easy goals that can be achieved.Goals should also be clear. For example, a clear goal is that you want to lose 2 kilograms in 1 month. An unclear goal is that you want to be healthy.A goal that can’t be measured and has no time duration is not a goal

Set Clear Goals

You must be aware of what you can and can’t control. Don’t become sad when things which you can’t control don’t work according to your plan.Don’t confuse what you can and can’t control. Not everything is out of your control. There are a lot of things that you can control that will improve your life. You have control over your mind. You have control over the amount of hard work you do. But you have no control over what other people will think about you. Worrying about things you can’t control will make your life miserable.

Control What You Can Control

If you’re painting or creating something, then yes, it should be as perfect as possible, but if you’re doing something like cutting grass, which is going to regrow in a few weeks, don’t spend your entire day trying to be a perfectionist and trying to cut each blade of grass with perfection. You should be able to turn on and off the switch of perfectionism.Sometimes it’s needed, and sometimes it’s not. Don’t make a default setting of always being a perfectionist. Change it according to circumstances.Don’t hide your laziness with perfection.

Don't Be a Perfectionist

Everyone's got their own path when it comes to bringing their ideas to life and creating the life of their dreams; and for some of us that path involves a hefty dose of laziness. Insert The Art of Laziness. A book written to honor the journey of us "lazy (creative and/or entrepreneurial) bastards," and support us in getting the most enjoyment and productivity out of our laziness, and therefore our life. If you, or those around you, have ever agonized over your laziness in a state of confusion this is the book for you. After reading The Art of Laziness you will: (1)Understand why you're lazy and how your laziness assists you in your spiritual development.(2)Understand how laziness helps you in creating physical manifestations so that you can consistently use it to turn your thoughts into reality and literally create the life of your dreams.(3)Differentiate laziness from other often-confused-with states, like procrastination and depression, so that you're able to get the most out of your lazy moments in life.(4)Rid yourself of any society-fueled guilt or shame around laziness so that you can have a more accepting and loving relationship with yourself.(5)Use laziness to have more satisfying and rewarding creative experiences, diverse life experiences, and a richer and fuller life experience overall.
