I am lazy. Mentally and emotionally lazy.

I am lazy. Mentally and emotionally lazy. I am used to being boring and comfortable.  95% of the time. (The other 5% of the time, I am the guy who does weird and outrageous stuff!)

 

That makes me sort of “normal” I suppose. Well, 95% of the time.

 

It used to be that having a “reasonable and normal” education with a “reasonable and normal” behaviour was enough to guarantee a life without too many hiccups till retirement.

 

Sorry baby, this is history.   It’s worth nothing now.

 

In a world where almost everyone is “very good”, being compliant and being “reasonable and normal”, that’s bad news. That makes me cheap.

 

What is scarce and valuable. People who have a reputation for being outrageously great at what they do. People who ship shockingly weird and out of the ordinary stuff. People who don’t do “normal” stuff.

 

Hey, I know that I am mentally and emotionally lazy 95% of the time.  But guess what babe, I have just decided to decrease it to 94% of the time by dinner tonight. And before you know it, it’s going to go down to 93%…………..

 

And I am going to intentionally increase the amount of time when I am embracing mental discomfort.   Until mental discomfort is my new being.

 

People like us do weird things!
