Laziness

A friend told me about this great website called Despair. It is a site devoted to demotivation. Now that might seem silly, but they creators realized that motivation is huge business, but the reality is most people are not motivated and do not really want to be motivated.

Success is a journey is one of my favorite sayings, so at first I was a bit annoyed. But then as I thought about it in the context of Success in Balance with the rest of my life, I started liking it more and more. Often my life is out of balance because I am being driven by urgency instead of importance. I react to situations. I deal with the things that come my way. At times I need to slow down to “smell the roses.” You can’t smell them if you run right by them. So while life is a journey, we need to slow down and enjoy the journey. Funny how a demotivational poster can be so motivating ;-)
