You’re Not Lazy, You’re Just Not Passionate About What You Do
When you love what you do, you work hard to win.
I didn’t love writing when I started writing. It was merely a way to provide valuable content in my blog since, at that point, I was too shy to upload videos or make a podcast.
When I ran that blog, I didn’t truly run it. I did what I had to, but I never put in the effort to go the extra mile. I wrote the blog posts — very badly, might I add — made the lead magnet, and posted on social media now and then.
Most of the time, I spent my days watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Lost Girl. I never wanted to work.
I used to believe it was because I was an unmotivated, lazy as fuck, fresh-out-of-high-school eighteen-year-old. I would feel worse when I saw other teenagers building successful brands, working with influencers, and hustling.
I couldn’t figure out the difference between me and them. Why were they working their asses off while I was laying in bed for most of my day? I thought I had drive.
I’m much older and wiser now (okay, fine — I’m four years older and a little smarter) so, I know now that I wasn’t lazy.
I just didn’t like blogging.
