Do you succumb to laziness?

We commonly procrastinate or put off an activity altogether by saying "It will get done eventually" or "Someone else will do it." Wrong! Being lazy and not taking responsibility are wastes of time. Often the power for change is within us, but without our efforts things would fail or go awry. You cannot rely on help from others, only what your own two hands accomplish on their own. Hard work is a habit that needs constant attention. But be mindful that you are giving your full effort to a project. Apply yourself, value your time, and don't squander it hoping for help.

I already had my time before, I am always busy, always on the rush of doing different tasks, different things. It came to a point that I am exhausted. Now, I just take my time. It's a wonderful feeling to be relaxed, just laying on bed and watching tv for a while, then doing some tasks at my own time. Who cares?... whatever I do or not do, its my life!

I wish I had the time to be lazy. To much to do and never enough time in the day to get it all accomplished. I would love to have one day where I could do absolutely anything I wanted.

Like most people, I am faced with a lot of stuff and tasks to do; and even if I'm through with some of them for an entire day, I am most certain that the following days, there will be other tasks which will add up to my already existing unfinished businesses. Everyone gets lazy or bored of doing tasks sometimes. And this is but normal for everyone. But what really forces me to do something is my own family.
I'm a married woman for more than five years now and we do have a daughter who is turning three this month. Just thinking of her and our substantial outstanding monetary obligations with various credit card companies, government, and loan agencies; motivates me to work even harder. I believe that every parent desires to send their children to school and see them finish their studies. A couple of years from now, our daughter will have to start schooling and it's no joke sending a child to school.
I have to do my best and finish all tasks as much as possible so I could spend more quality time with my family, particularly our daughter. I guess it's adviseable to do some stretching for a while to keep the blood moving and hopefully, you'll be as alert as possible, if and when you feel like being lazy. And try to keep in mind that you won't be able to accomplish anything if you keep on thinking that you've got a lot to do.
Honestly, my husband and I got no savings for her future education but we're really striving hard to save up for this. In fact, we've both decided that one of us will have to work abroad while the other stays here to take care of our daughter. I really do hope that this plan pushes through, with God's help.

When you have a plan to do something,you must do it first time,don't wait untill you make when,it'will make you have a pretext to be lazy.At one time i was this kind of person who succumb to laziness,but now i am not this kind of man,i will do what i want to do unremitting.

I am not a lazy person by nature. I never have been. I feel that there is always something to get done whether it be cleaning or something else. I can find something to do with my time.
