Summary

I have an admission to make. I'm a bit lazy. Yes, I also like to work harder than most people. Still, I'm lazy when doing things I don't want to be doing. It's been said that when you do what you love to do, you will never work another day in your life. Frankly, I've found it to be quite the opposite. What I do is difficult and takes a lot of time and effort. But I enjoy it? Still, I'm lazy. I want everything to be easy, and I want it now. I don't think I'm different than anybody else. I'm lazy. I'm driven. I'm lazy. I think I made my point. And if you know me well, you may be thinking; he's not that lazy. Oh yes, I am… While it may take a long time to master the skill required to make things easy for myself, I'm only willing to go through the hard work if it allows me to be lazy - eventually. And do you know what the coolest thing is about being lazy? Your initial hard work allows you to be lazy and makes what you do look easy to others. Too bad for them. I guess they were sleeping and binging Netflix when you were preparing to make it look easy and be lazy. Here's today's life lesson. It's good to be lazy, as long as you are willing to do the work required to allow you to be lazy - someday. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

0:00.0	How are you? Happy, happy, happy Monday. All right, today. Are you lazy? Have you ever
0:22.6	been told you're lazy? I'm lazy. I just got admitted, okay? But I was listening to Bill Gates
0:27.0	interview the other day. And Bill said, I hire lazy people. And of course, these smart interviewers
0:31.6	said, why? He said, well, because lazy people, they figure out the easy way to get stuff done,
0:35.9	they overthink it. I said, to Shay, that's me. Are you lazy? Are you? Well, okay, it's great. Fantastic.
0:42.6	Bill Gates will hire you. We'll talk about being lazy today and why I'm lazy and why you should be
0:48.1	lazy. And it's okay to be that way. And if you don't understand that, hang on because we'll explain
0:52.5	it to you, okay? It is the daily boost from motivation to move.com, the positive boost you need
0:57.1	every single day. And depending on who you are and how you think, you might, that point may
1:02.4	be debatable. That may, it's a boost, yes. But so is positive boost really Scott? Yeah, it kind
1:08.4	of is because here's the deal. Here's what I've learned. Let me give you a little insight here.
1:11.7	See, I, I use this thing called scot logic. It's, it's my, it's in my brain. And I use it to

1:21.0	on cable news and stuff like that called common sense. And over time, I've learned with common
1:27.3	sense, using my common sense that when you look at the world for exactly what it is, or as we
1:31.6	stay in the South here, just a little bit south of the Daytona International Speedway, or I live,
1:35.7	we say it is what it is. And basically what that means is that when you just look at it good,
1:41.4	bad, indifferent, whatever, you just look and say, okay, it is what it is. Where'd I go from here?
1:48.1	That's the most positive thing in the world that you could ever have. So along the way,
1:51.6	twofold, I also try to motivate inspire, pick you up, make you feel good too as well as give you
1:55.8	the, the truth. You may not agree with my truth in this fine. That's okay. I'll see.
2:02.0	My name is Scott Smith. I'm the founder and the chief motivating officer here at MotivationToMove.com.
