In a previous article, we discussed the importance of living our best life each day and overcoming resistance. We emphasized the significance of looking at life the same way we look at our dreams. We remember those vivid, fantastic, beautiful dreams and don’t remember the nights when we did not dream. We should take this approach to life as our life should be memorable, day in and day out. Life can become mundane and unremarkable if we fail to make our days special. Our existence passes unnoticed, and we are left with nothing to remember.

However, in a more recent article, we discussed the energetic reality and how that also mentions how life is a dream, where we row down the stream. We also discussed how we can live an electrifying and fulfilling life by applying the same principles we use in our dreams - e.g., realizing that life is a dream and we can be whatever we want to be. In this article, we will focus on overcoming resistance, a common challenge that hinders us from living our best life.

In another article, we proposed the idea of treating life as a startup, which ignites our passion and drive to make our dreams a reality. Finding our purpose is critical to living our best life, and we encourage readers to revisit this concept. To live an ideal life, having financial stability is crucial, as poverty can be a significant obstacle to living our best life. 

Moreover, we recognize that our generation faces specific challenges that are new to our society. No other generation in history has had these barriers, so overcoming these disadvantages is essential to living our best life. One of the main challenges we identified is how our generation falls to resistance, specifically laziness, which we will focus on in this article.

I know there were many articles previously mentioned, but those concepts must be comprehended because we plan on building on top of them. We urge our readers to consider the steps we outlined in our previous article and apply them to overcome resistance and live their best life.

Within this article, the reader will gain the following insights:

• Why Laziness is the Strongest Force

• How Disorganization Destroys Productivity

• How To Overcome Laziness with Mental Stimulation

Laziness, The Most Powerful Of Them All

The Academy of Ideas recently released a video on the topic of mediocrity, which explores the notion that mediocrity is a mental illness. I intend to explore this in a future article, and I strongly recommend you all become members of

Academy of Ideas

to watch the video as well.

Within the video, the concept of laziness is discussed as being the most powerful force of all, even more so than money or sex. This notion has caused me to reflect on the nature of laziness and question its power. What is it that makes this form of inactivity such a strong force? Upon further consideration, I have realized that laziness encompasses a range of behaviors, including procrastination and simply not doing anything at all. It is important to note that laziness possesses a great deal of energy just waiting to be actualized, and seeing the world in this energetic sense details the power behind laziness.

A long shot depicting an individual laid out on the couch with their eyes closed and a dreamlike scene playing out around them; featuring various objects such as clocks or hourglasses slowly ticking away time. The art should have a painted comic book aesthetic, with bright colours for added dynamic energy.

This energy behind laziness can be harnessed and redirected towards more productive endeavors or wasted on distractions and non-important activities. In essence, the energy is either utilized or lost altogether. While incessant laziness may be considered the strongest form, where we do absolutely nothing and become that sloth like being, it is vital to consider strategies for combating this and other forms of laziness.
