I’m not a particularly religious person, but one of the 7 “deadly sins” that leads you to burn in an eternal cave of infernal torture is “sloth.”
Interestingly, each of the 7 deadly sins, on its surface really isn’t a bad thing on its own. It’s when it reaches an extreme level that it becomes “deadly”. Pride - it’s good to be proud of yourself and your own accomplishments. It’s deadly to be so full of yourself that you can’t have any sort of compassion or care for a single other human being. Avarice - it’s good to desire wealth and fortune in order to stir a healthy economy, but it’s excessive to be so greedy that others suffer from lack of resources due to a monopoly. Wrath - it’s good to be aggressive, to stand up for yourself, and to say what you mean without the fear of rejection. It’s bad to be unhinged and demanding while making others fear your anger. Lust - it’s good to embrace your sexual desires and create a pleasurable experience for you and your partner(s). It’s bad to lose control of sexual impulses and force yourself onto someone without consent. Envy - it’s good to want the possessions and abilities of others so you can strive to improve yourself. It’s bad to obsess over what another person has and to wish ill upon them, and even go as far as trying to make that person’s life miserable. Gluttony - it’s good to eat. Ya gotta eat. It’s bad to stuff your face to the point where you are no longer a human being and are literally just flubber. Food can be an addiction. Sloth - it’s good to be lazy and find easy ways to do things. It’s bad to sit on your ass and do absolutely nothing, making no progress towards your goals. See, sloth, or laziness, like all the other deadly sins, is actually a positive thing at its core. Using it appropriately and within moderation is an art, a finesse if you will. I am teaching you to adapt laziness, to embrace sloth, and to become a procrastinator. But it is absolutely imperative that you avoid becoming a complete bum. It is all about balance. When people say to not be lazy and not procrastinate, what they really mean is don’t do it to an extreme level, to the point that procrastinating and laziness becomes more of a harmful indulgence rather than a strategic work ethic. Being lazy means finding an easy and efficient way to do complicated tasks. It means getting the most “bang for your buck”. When the procrastinator makes and investment with his time or his money, he wants to get the biggest return possible. Being lazy does NOT mean doing absolutely nothing and expecting some sort of result to happen. Rather, it means putting in the least amount of effort and yielding the most results. It is following the Law of Least Effort, something which I will detail in a later blog. I know. I promise I will also teach you the online money making and investing strategies but again I cannot stress how utterly important it is to adopt the Lazy Mindset before I dive into anything technical. A person can learn scales, notes, and chords on an instrument, they are never truly a successful musician until they have the soul, until they actually feel the passion for music and have the mental creativity and imagination to explore the world of sound. Learning musical theory and playing an instrument without adopting the right mindset makes the person more of a boring technician than a soulful and talented musician. Likewise, knowing online money making methods makes you nothing more than a machine-like technician. You want to be a real procrastinator. Part of that is knowing when you’re being lazy and when you’re just being plain stupid. Avoid the extremes and don’t miss me too much until my next blog. -N8

These are are names of “lazy” college drop outs. Autodidacts. They learned what they wanted to learn, not what their professors made them learn. Now I know what you may be thinking. But N8, these guys actually worked hard to start their own business/career. They didn’t just drop out and do nothing. Actually, they did. Here’s the thing: they didn’t work hard at all. None of these successful people worked hard. They were lazy through and through, at its core. It’s because of their laziness that most successful people made it to where they are today. Wait WHAAAAT!? That’s right. Your whole life you’ve been taught everything wrong. You’ve been lied to.You’ve been taught to work hard. But, my fellow procrastinators, I’m here to tell you the truth. You see, laziness is the “feeling" of not working, it’s not actually avoiding work entirely. So all these successful people give the “illusion” of working hard. If you can achieve feeling of doing nothing, then you’ve achieved laziness and when you achieve laziness, you achieve success. Don’t let anyone convince you otherwise. They tell you to “work”. And work hard. Let’s look at this. What is work? Well it’s the opposite of being lazy, the opposite of procrastinating. It’s the feeling of doing “something”, something which drains your resources: financially, emotionally, and time-wise. it’s doing what you OUGHT to do, rather than what you WANT to do. If you’re doing nothing, or rather have the feeling of doing nothing, that is to say, if what you’re doing doesn’t seem like work, suddenly it doesn’t seem like you’re sacrificing any of those precious resources.Suddenly, you gain a sense of freedom. Freedom. Yes, because you’re either working as a SLAVE or relaxing as a PROCRASTINATOR. Choose which role you want to play. If you’re working hard, it’s because someone else doesn’t have to. Don’t do hard work. Do easy procrastinating. I did just do that. I did just use the word Slave. Let’s look at the literal definition of Slave: (noun) a person who is legal property of another and is forced to obey them (verb) work excessively hard If you’re in a situation where you have a boss or supervisor, guess what? You are forced to obey them. You have to follow certain rules, regulations, and protocols that you may or may not agree with. You MUST follow certain procedures to complete certain tasks and you MUST do each task in the order your boss finds most convenient. And while they may not actually own you, in the sense that they’re putting you in shackles, locking you in a cage and feeding you porridge once a day, they do basically own your ability to support yourself. If you have a day job, chances are, you rely on that job to feed mouths and pay bills. Essentially, you rely on your boss like he’s your slave owner. The only difference between a slave/master relationship and the relationship between you and your boss is that you have “your own” place. S/he still determines your ability to survive though, so it’s not much different. In the second definition of slave, as a verb, it is the act of working“excessively" hard. Excessively.You’re actually working a lot harder than you have to, or like I said earlier, you feel like you’re working harder than you should be feeling. With the Lazy mindset, you’re going to free yourself from the slavery. When it comes to online money making, some people may consider clicking ads, maintaining phones, and browsing websites “work” and would prefer a “real job” over doing such tedious tasks. To me, it feels like I’m doing nothing. To you, that may or may not be the case. I believe for most people will feel the same - the methods I use to make money is like basically doing nothing. I will provide the stepping stones toward becoming a successful person, a true procrastinator. While the specific methods I will cover can help you achieve that, more important than the tangible tips on online money making (go to this website, download this app, etc) is developing the Lazy mindset.
