Overcoming Laziness

Laziness is a state of inaction. It is something that you do， not something that you are. Being lazy means you have no 1 to do anything. This is obvious but the mistake that many people make is 2 themselves as someone who is lazy. In this article， I am going to 3 with you something that will help you see this state of 4 in a different way.

Lazy people are often seen as useless. 5， are they really being lazy or are they acting lazy？ There is a huge 6 between saying you act lazy sometimes and you are a lazy person. One is suggesting that your laziness is 7 while the other suggests that its permanent. This is the myth of laziness. People who are lazy arent lazy； they 8 are people who are temporarily acting that way.

So what 9 a person to be inactive？ The answer is a lack of goals. If you give someone a good enough 10 to do something， he will do it. People who dont seem to do anything just havent found a good enough reason to do anything. 11 students dont study because they dont see the 12 in studying. If you give them a reason， a strong enough reason， they will 13. For example， if you are too lazy to go to the gym， would you go if someone 14 you a million dollars？ If you are too lazy to clean out the garage， would someone 15 a gun to your head help you take action？ The reason can be positive or 16 as long as its strong enough to induce （引起） action.

The bottom line of how to 17 laziness comes down to finding enough reasons to take action. Action will 18 success while inaction will result in 19. Before you take action though， you need a compelling （令人信服的） reason to do so. To motivate someone who is lazy， what you need to do is to help him find enough 20 to work towards a certain goal.
