You are constantly thinking something, whether that is about your past events or situations, your current state and task that you are dealing with, or a future plan that you have put on your to-do list. Sometimes it is possible that among these cases, you might not feel inspired and ready to do your work, and a new thought pops up into your head that you might not be doing the right job, or that you have not found the passion of your life yet. You start to make different false connections in your mind to justify these situations, and maybe even identify these cases as indicators that you have are not productive; you are a lazy person. Wait a second: what if that is just another thought that is probably wrong?
That thought that if you are a lazy person because you are not compelled sometimes to work and put the best out of your efforts. This is just another opinion that if we start to challenge, it might be fade away. What if you could see the obstacles as possibilities and doorways of learning new things that might help you in the future?
There are most definitely cases in your life that you have found yourself motivated to work hard and at those moments, you might have been getting a little bit of pride that you are in fact productive. However, one difficulty came to you and that prevented you to have that kind of initial enthusiasm, and somehow a deficiency of inner drive began. This iterates repeatedly and you start to have the same thought. Soon after that you identify your whole self with the label of a lazy person. One simple thought might become a self-fulfilling prophecy if you let it be so.
Challenge that opinion by reminding yourself the productive times that you had in the past and try to identify the patterns that lead to that productivity. Success leaves clues, as failure does, which in this case is represented by laziness.
