Yes, I agree with you. True peace comes from inside the heart first. It is needed to become peaceful and navigate life.

Being lazy and stubborn is much more productive than doing acts that are bad for one's physical and mental health. I do not promote being lazy and stubborn all of the time but to be truly happy and productive one avoids the negative acts and focuses on improvement.

I just think we need people who can walk up to a person and tell them their flaws. We definitely interpret things based on our notions or beliefs or in a way it suites our lifestyle. Like this is a fact. Love this post.

I guess I just learnt a whole lot from this post. So many factors hinder progress, we should just get aware of them.

Ha ha, I love this advice, who would have thought that the more stubborn and determined you are and the less you try, the more success you can look forward to.

It's important to point out that my state of mind has improved since embarking on this journey with Scott. My sleeping habits have been poor for over 30 yrs but I’m now sleeping better since taking Scott’s advice, this is a biggie for me. I’m no longer running around like a headless chicken and achieving nothing but chaos in my life and I’ve noticed I actually don't give a hoot if the meals I prepare arn’t up to scratch. Neither am I saying ‘yes, I’ll do it’ to keep the peace. I’m getting more done in an average day than I ever did in the past.

Thank you for the great advice, Scott, it really is working for me.

Scott,
You seem to savor life, every moment of it, and you have also said that you're mostly happier than the average person. By happy, you mean what exactly? Do you mean inner peace? Do you mean constant joy? Do you mean staying in the present?

Hi Scott,
Can you explain Productive Laziness to me?
Swimmingly,

Prioritize genuine happiness and freedom over mere comfort, embracing traits like smart laziness, self-stubbornness, and honesty. Identify what truly matters and resist the lure of mere comfort, focusing on authenticity and inner peace. Avoid negative energies, as they attract more pain, striving instead for positivity to improve outcomes.

I couldn't agree less, Scott. I believe that happiness is your choice. If you choose to be happy, then you will be happy throughout. If you want to be miserable, then you will be that only. True happiness comes from the fact that if you believe that you will be positive, and happy, even if you are faced with hurdles. If you believe that God is with you in every moment then nothing else can put you at ease.

Yes, I need to work on saying 'no' more often, and pleasing myself before others. It's a daily struggle but I am getting better. Saying 'no' is so liberating.

The truth about it is that we are all different and different things gets us going. We should all find whatever makes us happy and do them.

I appreciate the statements about what you would die for and what is most important to you, and that you should know what these things are. Sometimes you have that thing that is most important to you and don't realize it.

God can do anything. He may choose not to do it, but He could if He wanted to.

It is funny how people fails to take your advice but rather turn it for someone else. But I've witness this in many situations. It's true. I also believe that we get what we believe we can get, and by doing and focusing on one, succes becomes more certain.
