Why You’re So Lazy

If you're lazy, if you don't have energy throughout the day to do the things that need to be done it's because you are out of alignment with what it is that you're truly meant to be doing in this life. When you are aligned with your true purpose, you don't have to look for energy, the universe just throws energy at you.

There's a reason why you're on this earth. It's okay not to know the reason and what your purpose is yet, but it's not okay to not be in constant search for it otherwise, you're going to get to the end of your life and wish that you'd done something different.

When you're doing what it is that you're meant to be doing and you're on purpose, it's almost effortless. It's literally as if God or the universe or source or whatever it is that you want to believe in comes through you and provides all of the energy for you.?

There is good exhaustion and there's bad exhaustion. Good exhaustion looks like ending the day tired but with a full heart. You can't wait to do it again tomorrow.?Bad exhaustion looks like ending the day tired and not wanting tomorrow to come.?

Where are you? If you find yourself living in bad exhaustion, you're not supposed to be doing whatever it is you're doing.?

That's not your purpose.?

So how do you find what you love to do?

If you know what your passion is, try and put a little more time into it and see if you start to come alive. See if you start to get more energy from it.

If you don't know your passion, then you've got to try some new things because if you just keep doing the same thing, you're going to get the same results. You're not going to find it by doing the same thing over and over.?

Make a happy list of every single thing that makes you happy.?

Ask yourself how you can bring as many of those things into each day and schedule them in.?

Another way to find out what your purpose is or what your passion is, is by following Ikigai (a term that embodies the idea of happiness in living) and answering the following four questions:

What do you love to do??

What are you good at?

What can you be paid for??

What does the world need??

Maybe trying these things helps you shift and move some things into place to find out what your true purpose is.?

When something drains energy from you, that is the universe telling you it's time for a change. Listen to it.?The universe isn’t going to provide energy for you when you're not living your purpose.?

Go out there and find the thing that you love because when you're doing something that you love, something that makes you happy, something that is in full alignment with who you truly are, the universe will provide that energy for you.?

You've got to get yourself outside of your comfort zone and find out what it is that you truly want. That is how you stop being lazy.?
