being lethargic

Being lethargic...

I am lethargic, lazy and slow.

And this is only for the activities which are probably most important in my life.

So , if tomorrow I am supposed to rise early and leave for office, its herculean for me to perform.

No.. its not because i don't like to wake up at time. Neither it is because of escapism from my responsibilities. I believe there are very few people in this world who avoid their responsibilities. They all know whats important for them.

But , what is it that retards me when i approach these important daily tasks. I believe its the desire to achieve quick results. I will be very quick in getting up from sleep and dress up for a movie,even if i was informed at a short notice.

My body's response to this urgent requirement of getting up and defying the 'law of laziness' would be astounding.

Whats the reason for this new life which i gather to get ready for the movie?

Well, the answer could be only one. And it is, the quick enjoyment i receive after putting in effort ,in getting ready for the movie. The quick enjoyment while watching the movie.

I could foresee,rather my conscience(which is also very mean,like me... by the way , i consider my conscience and myself two different entities.. my conscience advised me to do so) helped me to foresee the pleasure of watching a movie with pop corns and cold drink. And the attractive part of the incentive is that i will get all the pleasure in an hour, as soon as i reach the cinema hall.

hence, this is it. I have found it. I do everything quickly which ensures a quicker result. Otherwise, things are quite different in my pace to do things.

Take another example-

If i feel,someday, that i need to shed some weight, i will decide to wake up early in the morning and jog for some time. Now , this ain't difficult for me. in fact I am a morning person. I generally wake up early. But to perform this task of getting up and jogging will be a challenge.

Simply because of the fact that i am not getting the result of 'losing my weight' quickly. It will take a long time to happen. An uninterrupted rhythm of waking up early and going for a jog. So, it will never happen that i maintain a habit of jogging.

In a nutshell,

a man is always guided by his thirst of quicker results. It is seldom that a man realizes the worth of continued effort. And when he/she realizes ,it is often too late. May be, the men who comprehend this truth( and most importantly.implement it in their lives, because we all know the truth. Its just that we don't implement it) and selflessly(to a certain extent) imply it in their routines that they taste success. Otherwise, its only a game of chance. You win or lose,depending on which day is it today.
