It's Monday again, and as the saying goes, “It's back to the old grindstone.” For some there is a tendency to want to skip it. For others, it seems like a streak of lazy has overcome them. Sometimes the break from the work weak will develop the desire in a person to be work-free just a little bit more. There's an old proverb that says, “Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep: So shall thy poverty come as one that travelleth, and thy want as an armed man.” The idea is that if a person becomes lazy, he or she is certain to pay the price in the future for things that are needed. When a person understands that being lazy has its repercussions, he or she is much more inclined to push past the lazies.
“Where is the food in the refrigerator?” “Why did the electricity get cut off?” “We don't have enough money for gas?” “What are we going to use to pay for the school supplies?” These questions and more enter the lives of those who are lazy, and even though there is a tendency in most people to be lazy at one time or another, just reviewing questions such as these, especially if they are asked by children, should be enough to motivate a person to get to work.
Maybe the mantra of the famous seven dwarfs could apply when the lazies come around. Their thought was, “Hi Ho”, and with that thought in mind, it's nearly time to make a go of it again and push past the desire just to go back to bed.
Until tomorrow...Why Say More?
