Coffee and I are old friends (coffee is older than me of course) and I do a lot of thinking over coffee. With this in mind I decided to start a little concept called thoughts over coffee which I'll be doing from time to time.
I don't like laziness or reward it and while I don't have anything against down-time, relaxation, doing nothing and such other legitimate activities being lazy grinds my gears. There's many different forms of laziness including below.
Laziness - Fear
I know most don't relate laziness to fear however I think many people sometimes don't push through fear out of laziness and I see that as limiting. Saying things like, I simply can't do that, means that you won't do that...the first step towards achievement is to start out and by convincing ourselves we cannot do something isn't a productive step.
It's easy to stay safely within a comfort zone and let fear rule the day but it means that people miss out on great achievements and amazing moments.
I have fears, everyone does, and when I feel them I think about those times when I pushed forward through the fear barrier, took control, and the results I gained by doing so. Sure, I failed sometimes, but I always felt good knowing I'd tried, that I'd overcome that initial fear and each time it got easier.
I'm a strong believer in that a person's courage grows with use; this means that by showing a little courage now the next time will be easier and so on. It has been a good way for me to push on through the fear and to build better results.
What do you reckon? If you want to comment below then go ahead, I'm interested in your thoughts and experiences.
