Reason why is because the more positive ratings and reviews that we get, the more that those platforms present this podcast to people who've never listened to it before, which allows us to grow and really impact more people people's lives. So if you would do that, I would appreciate it. Today I'm going to be talking about why you're so lazy and I'm going to take a different route about laziness. Probably a route you've never heard somebody talk about with laziness. If you're lazy, it's because you don't have energy. And maybe the reason why you don't have energy is because you're not doing something in your life that feels like it's your purpose. Maybe you are completely out of Alignment with. With your purpose in your life. And you have to wake up every single day and force yourself to do something that you don't want to freaking do. And so maybe in some sort of way, you're out of alignment with the universe. You're living a life that is not in line with your soul's purpose. The reason why you were put here. Now, I don't know why you were put here, and you might not know why you were put here. Why don't we try to figure it out then? See, things should give you energy, not take energy away from you. So if you come back at the end of the day from work and you're exhausted, it's not for you. And there's two different types of exhaustion, right? There's, like, good exhaustion and there's bad exhaustion. There's like, good exhaustion where it's like, man, you're tired, but your heart's so full. You're like, that was amazing. Today was great. And you feel fulfilled. Like, after a really good workout, you're like, oh, man, that was really tough. But I'm glad that I did it. A bad exhaustion would be like, you come home exhausted, you're dragging, you're tired, you're thinking about having to go back to work again tomorrow, and you don't want to do it. And so it's a physical exhaustion. But more than anything else, it's like actual mental exhaustion. I want you to understand that is taking energy from you. I said this recently on the podcast, but I really want to hammer this home with people. You know, I teach a lot of people how to grow their businesses. I consult with a lot of business owners, and a lot of people want to build a business, but they're like, oh, but it just takes so much energy to build a business. I'm like, yeah, that is true. It takes hard work to build a business. It takes energy to build a business, but it takes a lot of energy to do something that you don't love for the rest of your life. Like, it takes. I've worked jobs that I hate before, and it takes a lot more energy to wake up in the morning when you hear your alarm go off and get up out of your comfortable, warm bed to start getting ready for a job that you don't enjoy, and then to take a shower and get dressed and have to look a certain way to go to the job that you don't enjoy, and then drive and get stuck in traffic for 30 minutes and. And the whole time you're on the way to A job that you don't enjoy. And then you get to work and you have to be there for eight or nine hours and you don't enjoy it. And then you have to get in your car and drive home and be stuck in the same traffic again with all of the same people who also don't enjoy, enjoy their job. And then you get to your house and you have, what, three, four, five hours before you have to go back to bed. Then those whole three, four, five hours, you're thinking, oh, my God, I got to go to bed and I got to eat and I got to do this because I've got to go back to work again tomorrow. And then every one of those steps that I'm talking about takes so much. Not just physical energy, more so mental energy, because you're thinking to yourself, oh, my God, I've got to do this for another 30 fucking years. That takes way more energy versus putting energy into something that you actually love. And so what I found is that there's like, an intersection of energy and purpose. I believe that the universe operates on the principle of alignment. If you look at everything in the universe, everything is, like, perfectly aligned. It's crazy how, like, intricately aligned everything is. From the stars in the sky to every single cell, all 40 trillion cells in your body function optimally. When it is in harmony in its. In its purpose, it's doing exactly what it's supposed to do. And everything in this universe is made of energy. It's the most important thing in this universe is energy. And so similarly, our energy levels are directly influenced by how aligned we are with what is our life mission or what brings us joy or what we feel like we should be doing. So the way that I have seen and I've gotten from being around other really successful people that are fully in alignment with what it is they want to do. And also being myself, years ago, when and I worked somewhere where I didn't want to, and I felt completely out of alignment. And I started feeling anxious and depressed and sad. The longer that I stayed, the longer that I stayed out of alignment. I realized, like, when we're in sync with our purpose, our actions feel more effortless and we're invigorated by the tasks that we have to do. And so, like, I started thinking about this too when I was writing my book a couple years ago, and I started thinking about, like, I've heard so many people say, like, oh, when you write a book, it takes years off of your life. And I started dreading the fact that I had to write the book. So I was, I took a team trip and we brought my team members out to Sedona and we spent like three or four days in Sedona. And then I decided to stay an extra week by myself in a house in Sedona that was looking at the mountains and I could go outside and I could write the book. And the night before, I started dreading, oh my God, like, this is going to be so hard. This is going to be so hard. And I had this moment of realization and it was like, no, it's not. Like this is what you were made to do. Like this will be. And I came up with this phrase, it's going to be easy and it's going to be effortless. It's going to be easy, it's going to be effortless. And I kept repeating to myself, it's going to be. That's what you're made to do. It's going to be easy, it's going to be effortless. It's going to flow through you, right? It's not coming from you, Rob, it's coming through me. I just got to make sure that I stay aligned and not get in the way of the message. So I kept thinking that the first day I had the entire outline for the book done. Like every, like part one, part two, part three, every single chapter done, like the outline of it. I was like, this is crazy. And by the time I was done, within a week, more than half of the book was done. So obviously I spent a lot of time editing and changing and researching and hiring a neuroscientist to go through and make sure the stuff I said was correct. But I felt so in align with what I was doing and that this is the thing I was supposed to be doing that it lit me up and I had so much energy to do it. And we will be right back.
