A lazy individual either is sick or has not found the work he or she likes best.
------------------------------------------------------------
No one is inherently lazy. It is human nature to want to be doing things unless we are ill. A sure sign of the beginnings of a recovery from illness is the desire to get up and around, to go back to work, to do something—anything. Inactivity leads to boredom, and boredom leads to “laziness.” Conversely, activity leads to interest, and interest leads to enthusiasm and ambition.
W. Clement Stone often says, “The emotions are not always subject to reason, but they are always subject to action!” Determine what you are best at and what you like to do, and develop a burning desire to be the best you can be at it. Then, get into action!

Having battled a cold since before Christmas, I have felt the lazy part of this, just the brain fog, it does slow you down. With the houshold suffering, ones obligations expand, drawing you away from the expectations we have on ourself at our business or "work". As we start feeling better, we have moments of ambition, that I am grateful for. it's a good quote and reflection.
Cheers to our health !

Amor Fati
Amor Fati is a Latin phrase that means "love of fate" or "love of one's fate". It's a Stoic mindset that involves accepting and embracing whatever happens in life, including suffering and loss, as good or necessary.
The concept of amor fati was emphasized by German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche in his work. Nietzsche described it as: Accepting everything
A resolute acceptance of everything that has happened in life, without regret or retouching the past
Loving everything, A love of fate, where one wants nothing to be different, and instead loves what is
Here are some tips for practicing amor fati:
Accept reality
When things are going bad, don't get frustrated or dwell on the problem. Instead, accept reality and focus on finding a solution.
View troubles as challenges
Challenges show what you are capable of, so you might even look forward to difficult situations.
Create an acceptance mantra
Come up with a mantra to say when you are facing difficulty.
Make the best of it
Put your energies and emotions where they will have real impact, and make the most of the situation

Mr PMA
he started this insurance company that exists today. I have a coin at the office that is a encouraging word , I shall post a picture someday. It was given to me when I had looked seriously into getting setup to offer their insurance products, the focus here in Canada is a form of sickness, accident insurance.

You always do what you want to do. This is true with every act. You may say that you had to do something, or that you were forced to, but actually, whatever you do, you do by choice. Only you have the power to choose for yourself. W. Clement Stone
Prayer is man's greatest power! W. Clement Stone
When you discover your mission, you will feel its demand. It will fill you with enthusiasm and a burning desire to get to work on it. W. Clement Stone

There is little difference in people, but that little difference makes a big difference. The little difference is attitude. The big difference is whether it is positive or negative. W. Clement Stone

W. Clement Stone
In 1919, he graduated to selling insurance policies in downtown business offices. His mother managed his new career. Then in 1922, he opened his own small insurance agency, Combined Registry Company, in Chicago. By 1930, he had over 1000 agents selling insurance for him across the United States.
No success story in this century eclipses that of W. Clement Stone the super-wealthy, self-educated insurance magnate, world famous author, founder of the life-changing PMA (Positive Mental Attitude) concept, lecturer, publisher and philanthropist.
