Day 47: On the Folly of Loafing Around

The loafer believes he is enjoying life, but sooner or later he must face

disillusion.

—Fausto Cercignani

 

46

Since self-discipline shines in the long term, and often doesn’t seem to

provide any benefits in the short term, you may be tempted to believe that

people who are loafing around have it better.

While you’re watching your finances like a hawk, they spend money

they don’t have and show off with all the new cool gadgets.

While you’re eating a salad and washing it down with a cup of green

tea, they’re eating a bag of delicious potato chips and gulping down sugary

cans of Coke.

While you feel like throwing up during your workout from trying to to

squeeze out one more rep, they squeeze more mayo out of the bottle to put

it on the French fries they gorge on while watching their favorite TV shows.

It  might  seem  they  have  it  better,  but  sooner  or  later  the  person

exposing  himself  or  herself  to  discomfort  for  the  sake  of  achieving  their

long-term goals will come out on top, while the people loafing around will

get to feel the negative consequences of their laziness.

Irresponsible spenders will realize they’re on the brink of bankruptcy.

Potato chip addicts will be diagnosed with diabetes. The inactive TV fans

will start taking hypertension medication .

You,  on  the  other  hand,  will  look  back  at  your  past  sacrifices  and

smile, happy that you’ve never succumbed to the temptation to take it easy

and loaf around.
