We can agree to disagree. A goal is better. But let not "having no goal" be an excuse to be lazy. A step towards no goal is a step to nowhere but it's a good start to making a journey of one step or a thousand miles.
@@arlenecimafranca3222Well said, Arlene. Various Disciplines have their variations of "takes" on goals or ikigais, for simplicity's sake. E.g.. A Christian would claim, "God knew you before you were formed in your mother's womb." (Jeremiah 1:5). Another example is Dr. Chopra: "Grass doesn't try to grow. It just grows." I'm just grateful for the experience of being able to watch the same video. The words convey different meaning to the "consciousness behind the eyeballs."

There is a place that is filled with wisdom 😁 16 All Scripture is inspired of God+ and beneficial for teaching,+ for reproving, for setting things straight,+ for disciplining in righteousness,+ 17
🔥THE GOSPEL OF THE WORD OF ALMIGHTY GOD "the last age in which God is saving man from the imminent destruction of this old world" (God incarnate is called Christ, and Christ is the human body clothed by the Spirit of God. He is the incarnation of the Spirit. He has both normal humanity and full divinity. Whether human or it is His divinity, both of them submit to the will of the Father in heaven. The Spirit is the spirit of Christ, which means the divinity. This is what all people must understand. The spirit of the work of the Holy Spirit is to save man, and for the sake of God's own rule. Since God became flesh, He realizes His spirit within His human body, that His human body is sufficient to carry out His work. Whether it is the Spirit of God or whether it is Christ, both are God Himself, and He does the work He should do and fulfills the ministry He should perform.) Almighty God said GOD incarnate is called CHRIST, and CHRIST is the flesh clothed by the SPIRIT of GOD. 🙏 This human body is not like any human being in the flesh. This difference is because CHRIST is NOT made of FLESH and BLOOD; He is the incarnation of the SPIRIT. He has BOTH NORMAL HUMANITY and FULL DIVINITY. 🙏 No man possesses His divinity. His normal humanity sustains all His normal activities in the human body, while His divinity accomplishes the work of God Himself. Whether it is His humanity or His divinity, they both submit to the will of the Father in heaven. The SPIRIT is the SPIRIT of CHRIST, meaning the GOD HEAD. Therefore, His SPIRIT is GOD HIMSELF; this SPIRIT will not INTERFERE with His OWN WORK, and He cannot possibly do anything that would destroy His own work, nor will He utter any words that are contrary to His own will. ☀️ Therefore, God incarnate will absolutely never do any work that interferes with His own governance. This is what all people should understand. The INTENT of the WORK of the HOLY SPIRIT is to SAVE MAN, and for the SAKE of GOD'S OWN RULE. ☀️ Similarly, the work of CHRIST is also to SAVE MAN, and it is for the WILL of GOD. Since GOD HAS BEEN INCARNATED, He REALIZES His SPIRIT within His HUMAN BODY, that His HUMAN BODY is SUFFICIENT to CARRY OUT His WORK. 🙏 Therefore, ALL the WORKS of the SPIRIT of GOD were REPLACED by the WORKS of CHRIST during the INCARNATION, and at the CORE of all the WORKS during the ENTIRE INCARNATION was the WORKS of CHRIST. ☀️ It CANNOT be MIXED with WORK from ANY OTHER ERA. And SINCE GOD BECOMES FLESH, He WORKS in the IDENTITY of His FLESH; since He COMES in the HUMAN BODY, He thus FINISHES in the HUMAN BODY the WORK He has to DO. ☀️ Whether it is the SPIRIT of GOD or CHRIST, both of them are GOD HIMSELF, and He DOES the WORK that He should DO and PERFORMS the MINISTRY that He should PERFORM. 🙏 From "The Spirit of Christ is Obedience to the Will of the Father in Heaven" Fulfillment of "When I looked up, someone handed me a book wrapped in a scroll. I opened it and I read on both sides the prayers, sorrows, and curses." (Ezekiel 2:9-10). ... "His garment was stained with blood. He was called the "Word of God" (Rev. 19:13). The kingdom He brought down and set up in the highest in the sky so that it can occupy His creation in the universe and engrave on it the entirety of His Holy name "THE CHURCH OF ALMIGHTY GOD" 💐 fulfillment of (Mat. 16:18) "And I say as for you, you are Peter, on top of this rock I will build my Church, that even the power of death will not prevail over it.". ... and "The Letter to the Church in Philadelphia" (Rev. 3:7-13). ... And fulfillment of "The New Jerusalem" 💫 "The Spirit enveloped me, and the angel led me to the top of a very high mountain. He showed Me Jerusalem, the Holy City, coming down from heaven from God." (Rev. 3:7-13). ... " For the time has come in the house of God for the beginning of judgment in the house of God." (1 Peter 4:17). ...

I had failed all of my exams back in university days. I had felt no motivation to move one inch for years. Then out of nowhere an exam was tasked on me, and I decided to give it a shot. I prepared for it genuinely, and cleared on first attempt. People who I discussed it with told me how difficult of an exam it was. I signed up for another exam, in order to clear that as well and find jobs. I never felt this motivated to take exam and look for jobs before. I would always fall in imposter syndrome. But my 1 achievement gave me confidence to keep moving. It is necessary to achieve little and move ahead from there. It feels like magical.
I am sceptical, and I worked and continue pushing myself hard to do more, but sometimes it’s good to be little lazy. Life is not only about accomplishments and reaching goals. Sometimes we need to lay on the grass and do nothing.
Non action is something that is at the heart of a spiritual quest. To be able to come to a complete stop and watch what happens is something vital on a path of realisation.
I learned that: we should always remember the feeling of success whenever we achieve our goals. Do not look at the stress or challenge but the goal you will achieve. So… yeah❤ My biggest challenge now is my exams. But after watching this video,I will not look at the stress but I will imagine how fulfilled I will feel when I pass my upcoming exams ❤❤❤❤
Break your laziness down, divide and conquer. You don't have to climb a mountain in your first try it even in one go. Set a 5 minute timer and commit to doing your best for 5 minutes. If that's too much then 3 or 1 minute. Start small and be victorious, use the momentum of your victory to set more small goals and pave the way forward with success and good habits!
We can learn from Jehovah God how to be industrious Just pray to Jehovah 16 All Scripture is inspired of God+ and beneficial for teaching,+ for reproving, for setting things straight,+ for disciplining in righteousness,+ 17
People who give up in life are people who lose in life, my first experience happens to be a failure but I never gave up cause I knew it was going to work out for me trying continuously, fortunately I'm smiling today by getting involved in investment.. I pray that anyone who reads this will be successful in life too 🙏🙏🙏
you've remind me of what someone once said "The mind is the man, the poor is in it and the rich is it too". This sentence is the secret of most successful investors. I once attended similar and ever since then been waxing strong financially, and i most tell you the truth..investment is the key that can secure your family future.
Starting early is the best way of getting ahead to build wealth, investing remains a priority. I learnt from my last year's experience, i am able to build a suitable life because I invested early ahead this time
yeah investment is the key to sustaining your financial longevity but venturing into any legitimate Investment without a proper guidance of an expert can lead to a great loss too
Wow, this video blew my mind! As someone who has struggled with laziness, I never thought that Zen wisdom could hold the key to overcoming it. The explanation of understanding the root cause really resonated with me. I can't wait to apply these techniques in my daily life and start being more productive. Thank you for sharing this enlightening video!
I love the part where the monk explains that the feather isn’t directly on the mountain but on the other side (0:35). This subtle twist feels like such a powerful metaphor for life! We often think the hardest part is getting started, but the real reward and growth are found by pushing beyond what we initially see as possible. Beautiful story and lesson!
After climbing and descending the mountain to get the feather, the young man was challenged to row to another continent to retrieve an eggshell, and after that he hiked to Arabia to find a grain of sand. He lived busily ever after, never questioning the value of his pursuits.
the young man was only lazy because he hadn't met anyone who would order him around, send him on meaningless errands, and talk to him like the moron he was. He now qualifies for a minimum wage job at a fast food shack.
That is was most people do: pursuing something outside. That will never end. Just sit down and give up all this stupid searching and.. at that moment you got IT. What? You find out.
The biggest lesson for my part is having a clear vision of what you really want in life. The though of achieving the impossible ignites the energy in us to persevere in the midst of all hurdles...
I once knew a very hard working woman around 1990/91 who had a daughter who was always very lazy. Sadly, the daughter died shortly afterwards, and it was only around that time that it transpired that the reason for her apparent laziness was from a lack of energy due to diabetes, which was not diagnosed until too late. The daughter also had other diabetes symptoms, such as complaints about poor vision.
Yes, low energy will eventually lead to death. That why old people are slow. I'm older and endeavouring to increase my ATP. I was ill for many years with a disease causing low energy. Many people thought I was lazy. It ruined my working life. Now in retirement I'm working on increasing my metabolism so I can enjoy the rest of my life pain free and hopefully pass naturally in my sleep someday in the distant future.
I can't carry 150 books ! Do you know how many trips I'd have to make back and forth from the car to the house? Plus , there's 4 steps to get up on the porch. Ain't nobody got time for that.
I've followed the teachings of Zen for many years, and read many writings such as Zen Flesh, Zen Bones, but I've never come across a story less inspiring than this one.
Yes, the story comes across as slightly patronising. Like yourself, have read books like Zen Flesh, Zen Bones but find the most lucid comments are in a book entitled Zen Essence by Thomas Cleary, published by Shambhala books, Colorado, USA.
For most of my life I have felt like I am mired in the debris of creative ideas that I started with enthusiasm, but lost momentum and moved onto something else. Incredibly, after viewing this and listening to this story my procrastination is gone and I have completed all my unfinished projects. I am so motivated and organized since I saw this, I am volunteering to help the needy 3 days a week!
Please clean your house ,Don't be lazy do not eat chocolate bonbons either watching Oprah or on social media takes a lot of eye strain or be productive and cook a meal don't Uber eat or anything like that watch Mr miyagi wax on wax off practice makes better life would be better.
there shouldn't be word lazy ? why ,.well think about us as human make decisions what to do throughout the day. hardest thing to do to change your routine.
I'm not quite convinced I like the message, but not the words laziness and must. When the boys decided he wanted to make a choice, besides other than staying in his comfortzone, he overcome his 'laziness' which was really a choice you want to make. Is it lazy? What is lazy? Is lazy the same as not making choices, than yes. Is lazy the same as staying in your comfortzone, than yes. But if you call someone lazy, me, and you don't present an opportunity to deal with it, than it feels like a verdict. Not everyone takes up on this as a challenge. Lazy I feel now is my trigger word! Thank you for reading and have a great day 🙏🏼
The monk wanted feather but was too lazy to get it himself so he conned a young man to do his task and give him some random words of advice. Moral: it's ok to be lazy as long as you make other do your task free of cost
I can recommend you to the spiritualist who can help you with any kind of saturation fame and riches, get money, fame and power security and protection, get recognized In your businesses political races, rise to the apex whatever you do be Protected spiritually and physically and so many more benefits all this you will achieve in a twinkle of an Eye 👁️ through the help of the great man Dcotor EZEGO the Number #1 spiritually, Herbal, Healer spiritually father and the only one who can help you to get what you are looking for in life
In my version the young man finds the cave and the feather. He then cleans out the cave and turns that into his lazy place and no pestering Monks or people ever bother his slumber again.
It's hard to move on and do sinple tasks when you too anxious or depressed because people don't understand at all. Take your time and remember that if you're not healthy you must take you own time. Don't give up, it's not laziness in your case! It's just hard to keep going beacuse you're tired, but you can do it. Things will get better.
@@margaretkrings4807 Grief and loss as you say profoundly affect us. Sensitive people often take longer to adapt to this. The death of my father still affects me over 40 years after it happened.
Ah, luv, it's not the "people" understanding, it's you. It all starts with Owning who You are, en extension of Source to love and play together ... Peopel can only see what you present to them, they can only see and understand you when you See and decide to listen, love and truly understand you. That's the point dear.
Laziness can be honed to a skill. I have improved every job task because of laziness, increasing productivity and company profit because I dont like to do anything that wastes time or has procedures that are slow and silly.
Allow me to tell you something someone once said to me, a long time ago and it’s THE most accurate truth I’ve ever heard and it’s very simple : you have to want it bad enough. It doesn’t matter what it may be. , if you want it bad enough you will work hard at it
Wow this is timely advice. I have been postponing chores due to lethargy. I need to push myself harder to overcome my laziness. May God bless the compiler of this motivational video 👍🏾🙏
In a world where multitasking, speed and hard work is over rated and rest/ sleep is kind of demonised, we should start with updating the real definition of ‘lazyness’.
People who give up are the ones who lose. My first experience was a failure, but I never gave up because I believed it would eventually work out. I hope that everyone who reads this finds success as well.
Thanks- I needed this today. Beautifully told except for one tiny mistranslation in the captions at 3:13: "Now he knew that he had the strength and determined Asian to overcome any obstacle..." Though I suppose this was the story of a determined Asian really. Coincidentally, I have a feeling that old monk had placed the feather in the cave. He'd probably trained dozens of kids that way.
@@nawatime_titha Yes :) Because in movies, characters do things "offscreen" as well as "onscreen". The monk could only know a feather was in that cave if he had placed it recently- and in a spot where it would not just blow away!
This is about "pull" motivation (an exciting thing pulling you forward), as opposed to "push"motivation (having external forces driving you, or you learning to drive yourself). It seems we need pull until we can see the benefit of learning to push ourselves.
You are feeling happy, interested, succesfull, strength, self confident while working which u totaly forget b4 starting. 2.when we push ourselves to achieve we discover a strength and resilience within ourselves that we never knew 3. Feather's meathaphor and end are tied badly
Wow so much wisdom ❤so glad I found this channel !! Laziness can affect anyone if you alllow it and you will shorten your life being lazy , our bodies are meant to move !! : Let’s Go
Inspiring. Yesterday afternoon as I walked back up my short driveway after checking the mail, I noticed a Blue Jay feather laying on the ground about half way up to the house. I just went back and picked it up. I named the little feather "Zen". I put Zen on my dresser and I feel so much better now, I believe a short nap is in order.
I feel alot of what was said as the moral was tacked on then an understanding. The monk used the young man's curiosity ro start the journey which he found the beauty in the environment as he went climbing and once he was on the other side he knew he did the climb once he knew he could do it again. So what I understand of the story is one must be interested in the world around them to overcome laziness and what has been done once can be done again.
Why overcome laziness? If it's intentional is good. The problem is when people actjust for the sake of doing something and I'm talking of 90% of human action.
Start with small tasks and break the larger ones up into smaller approachable nuggets. Do the less favorable tasks first. Having somewhat of a routine will instigate discipline and consistency. Reward yourself at the end of the day. And if you didn’t get it right today, you can try again tomorrow. Don’t punish yourself. Love and encourage yourself to keep on moving forward.

Wow, this video was truly touching and inspiring. I also love sharing meaningful stories with moral values, and this content resonates with me deeply. Thank you for creating such impactful work
haha you're absolutely right, this video didnt help me at all....what helps me is thinking very very very long term, bringing immediate hope, immediate peace and taking tiny steps which efffortlessly turn into faster steps cos the results dont matter, its all long term
Honestly the lazier I get in the gym the more I grow. Used to try and go everyday. It became my therapy. But ultimately when I allowed myself to make excuses to no go. I started going 5 days a week and growing more than I’d ever dreamed I could. It’s circumstantial.
to me the lesson is to wait around long enough for someone to challenge you. but what if there is no one around to challenge you? Only around to knock you down over again and instill doubt. Do i abandon that place? seek refuge where i do not hav to hear people discouraging me all the time? i have been my only positive voice in my mind for so long. all my efforts easily looked over. im the only one that sees my progress. i cheer for myself in each step to move forward only to be crushed everytime. im the only one that knows hard ive been trying with nothing to show. He who lays in the grass all day under the shade with total peace of mind of himself is to be left alone. But the one that is trapped in shadows that deafen the light of the sun are loosing battles to the cold, yet fight to keep the fire within themselves burning so that they might see another day to try. Meanwhile those who walk in the sun see no one there in the illusion of the shadows. Greeted by warmth and sun, they live viciously in their rightful energy. A wilted flower is not lazy.
For me, the key takeaway is that having a meaningful goal or something exciting to look forward to is crucial for motivating action. It’s like setting a destination for a journey; knowing where you’re headed ignites a fire within you to start moving. Whether it’s pursuing a passion or focusing on personal growth, that sense of purpose creates momentum and makes every step feel worthwhile. Without it, it’s easy to feel lost, but once you discover what truly excites you, taking that leap becomes much easier! 🌟✨
Have lived a sedentary life for decades. Will be 63 in a few weeks but feel as young as a teenager. One of the core messages of Zen Buddhism is that we must save energy in order to achieve full enlightenment. Can confirm that this is exactly right, wasting energy to appear busy and active compared with lazy is pointless.
For me personally, the video misses the most impactful point from a practical standpoint. I think most of us know that laziness is something we must overcome. As a side note, the video doesn't take into account all of the possible mental roadblocks we face from genetics, trauma, anxiety, etc. that lead to habitual laziness, but that's another discussion... To me the lesson here that we can take into our daily life is 'Just get started.' Motivation doesn't come from words or a good pep talk. That will only take you so far. Motivation comes from the smallest of actions. He started, he felt the need to keep going based on the positive feelings of taking action, and he finished the job. Make getting started easy, and you'll take that first step. Just my rambling two cents.
1/The story begins with a monk coaching and inspiring: a teacher. 2/There are setbacks in life caused by hatred, sabotage, falsehood, destructive minds from people towards life itself. (like war situations and soldiers getting to suffer from ptss for example). Even if we get loads of difficulties and people trying to pick on and on and on and on on us, for selfish, mean or just fulish and certainly stupid reasons (is there a war that is not stupid?), we still must go on, though the system gets tired, not willing to give up, but depressed and in different ways concentration and focus hurt. By the anger of other peoples´ ego..you then get an overload of stress and problems to deal with, which or not even your own problems, not even your own ´lazyness´, but that of others and more. Depressed might look lazy, it is not that simple to deal with... In this story and advising ´mind-blowing´ wisdom is nothing about how to get rid of the lazyness that some people overcome by hurting and violencing and disrespecting someone who works hard. To get rid of the setbacks created through people who trying to bully and sabotage and make war for no reason at all, whom do so to try to steal energy and spirit and getting ´life´ at the costs of others.. a not natural setback, but from low: much lower then lazyness, namely wicked, the setbacks coming from cowards, the wars from idiots.. at the cost of time and soul.. at the cost of LIFE Mind-blowing Zen to me starts always with 1/ Teacher-coach (help from higher), 2/ To practise what we have learned. Simple and powerful technics are not discussed here, nor any secret. Protect life as much as you can!
To me, the lesson is to recall positive moments and success that you have achieved in the past. Be inspired and remember that you had done it before, you can do it again. Then you heart sparks. Sometimes, when you are so downtrodden, and you see no solutions, you forget that you are capable of amazing things. Then, the key is to make the first step forward.
My lesson: I get inspired for exactly 5 seconds watching videos like these, and then move on to other videos and become lazy again. Moral of the story is, lazy people will remain lazy no matter what, we just need to accept it and be at peace.
Same here, from 15 til age 55 I played and worked extremely hard, and now after covid, broken relationships and the passing of several dear people, I feel drained physically and mentally. And is a struggle just to get out of bed and eat......
@@cocoloco65482 age 14 to 43 worked and played and school. COVID came and crashed the party. Lost my father in 2014 when my daughter was only a year old. Still dealing with her father terrorizing us both. Can’t work because I’m disabled and don’t receive disability. I truly don’t know how I’m still 6 feet above ground. I pray we both find the peace in death that we clearly haven’t found in life.
Nowadays it became very common in many homes that male members dominate their wife and children. It happens in my house and also in my relatives' homes.
Yes, when we are feeling very low it's hard to motivate ourselves. The word lazy is often used to describe people who are not contributing to anything meaningful but why should anyone who is disenchanted with life suddenly try to start achieving things that others are doing? Just follow your own path whatever is affecting you be that depression or feeling stable and emotionally balanced.
I'm motivated by this content. A book I read with parallel material shifted my life's narrative. "Mindful Mastery: Living Intentionally in a Chaotic World" by Kyle Ash
So you want me to do something for YOU that has no upside for me, other than doing the task, when I could choose to do other tasks that actually offer a reward for ME? In the words of SNLs Chad, "uh, no thanks". : ) I CHERISH the times I choose to simply relax and BE, even if YOU choose to call me lazy. just sayin'....
Villagers: Let's get this straight, while we were toiling away chopping wood, building houses etc. you were enjoying a lovely hike to get a white feather?
For me the lesson is: you have to have something meaningful and exciting ahead of you in order to start moving
How true 👌👍🏻
You have very right. Without meanungsful vision there is no moving on...
We can agree to disagree. A goal is better. But let not "having no goal" be an excuse to be lazy. A step towards no goal is a step to nowhere but it's a good start to making a journey of one step or a thousand miles.
One needs to find his "ikigai" - a reason for waking up everyday
@@arlenecimafranca3222Well said, Arlene. Various Disciplines have their variations of "takes" on goals or ikigais, for simplicity's sake. E.g.. A Christian would claim, "God knew you before you were formed in your mother's womb." (Jeremiah 1:5). Another example is Dr. Chopra: "Grass doesn't try to grow. It just grows." I'm just grateful for the experience of being able to watch the same video. The words convey different meaning to the "consciousness behind the eyeballs."

There is a place that is filled with wisdom 😁 16 All Scripture is inspired of God+ and beneficial for teaching,+ for reproving, for setting things straight,+ for disciplining in righteousness,+ 17
🔥THE GOSPEL OF THE WORD OF ALMIGHTY GOD "the last age in which God is saving man from the imminent destruction of this old world"
(God incarnate is called Christ, and Christ is the human body clothed by the Spirit of God. He is the incarnation of the Spirit. He has both normal humanity and full divinity. Whether human or it is His divinity, both of them submit to the will of the Father in heaven. The Spirit is the spirit of Christ, which means the divinity. This is what all people must understand. The spirit of the work of the Holy Spirit is to save man, and for the sake of God's own rule. Since God became flesh, He realizes His spirit within His human body, that His human body is sufficient to carry out His work. Whether it is the Spirit of God or whether it is Christ, both are God Himself, and He does the work He should do and fulfills the ministry He should perform.)
Almighty God said
GOD incarnate is called CHRIST, and CHRIST is the flesh clothed by the SPIRIT of GOD. 🙏
This human body is not like any human being in the flesh. This difference is because CHRIST is NOT made of FLESH and BLOOD; He is the incarnation of the SPIRIT. He has BOTH NORMAL HUMANITY and FULL DIVINITY. 🙏
No man possesses His divinity. His normal humanity sustains all His normal activities in the human body, while His divinity accomplishes the work of God Himself. Whether it is His humanity or His divinity, they both submit to the will of the Father in heaven. The SPIRIT is the SPIRIT of CHRIST, meaning the GOD HEAD. Therefore, His SPIRIT is GOD HIMSELF; this SPIRIT will not INTERFERE with His OWN WORK, and He cannot possibly do anything that would destroy His own work, nor will He utter any words that are contrary to His own will. ☀️
Therefore, God incarnate will absolutely never do any work that interferes with His own governance. This is what all people should understand. The INTENT of the WORK of the HOLY SPIRIT is to SAVE MAN, and for the SAKE of GOD'S OWN RULE. ☀️
Similarly, the work of CHRIST is also to SAVE MAN, and it is for the WILL of GOD. Since GOD HAS BEEN INCARNATED, He REALIZES His SPIRIT within His HUMAN BODY, that His HUMAN BODY is SUFFICIENT to CARRY OUT His WORK. 🙏 Therefore, ALL the WORKS of the SPIRIT of GOD were REPLACED by the WORKS of CHRIST during the INCARNATION, and at the CORE of all the WORKS during the ENTIRE INCARNATION was the WORKS of CHRIST. ☀️
It CANNOT be MIXED with WORK from ANY OTHER ERA. And SINCE GOD BECOMES FLESH, He WORKS in the IDENTITY of His FLESH; since He COMES in the HUMAN BODY, He thus FINISHES in the HUMAN BODY the WORK He has to DO. ☀️
Whether it is the SPIRIT of GOD or CHRIST, both of them are GOD HIMSELF, and He DOES the WORK that He should DO and PERFORMS the MINISTRY that He should PERFORM. 🙏
From "The Spirit of Christ is Obedience to the Will of the Father in Heaven"

I had failed all of my exams back in university days. I had felt no motivation to move one inch for years. Then out of nowhere an exam was tasked on me, and I decided to give it a shot. I prepared for it genuinely, and cleared on first attempt. People who I discussed it with told me how difficult of an exam it was. I signed up for another exam, in order to clear that as well and find jobs. I never felt this motivated to take exam and look for jobs before. I would always fall in imposter syndrome. But my 1 achievement gave me confidence to keep moving. It is necessary to achieve little and move ahead from there. It feels like magical.
I am sceptical, and I worked and continue pushing myself hard to do more, but sometimes it’s good to be little lazy. Life is not only about accomplishments and reaching goals. Sometimes we need to lay on the grass and do nothing.
Non action is something that is at the heart of a spiritual quest. To be able to come to a complete stop and watch what happens is something vital on a path of realisation.
Tom Sikorski: You remind me of something I read in a booklet about Zen. 'The Master said "Sometimes I sit and think. Other times , I just sit".
Yes sir
Very true
❤
I learned that: we should always remember the feeling of success whenever we achieve our goals. Do not look at the stress or challenge but the goal you will achieve. So… yeah❤
My biggest challenge now is my exams. But after watching this video,I will not look at the stress but I will imagine how fulfilled I will feel when I pass my upcoming exams ❤❤❤❤

This comment is better than the video. 😊

I recommend everyone to find the forbidden book titled Whispers of Manifestation on borlest it goes deep into all of this, and it changed my life
greeat booook thank youi !!
The lesson i got from this video is that "mind-blowing" is in the eye of the beholder 😉
😂Omg, yes!!
Break your laziness down, divide and conquer. You don't have to climb a mountain in your first try it even in one go. Set a 5 minute timer and commit to doing your best for 5 minutes. If that's too much then 3 or 1 minute. Start small and be victorious, use the momentum of your victory to set more small goals and pave the way forward with success and good habits!
Absolutely agree !! Great comment. To split all "big" things in small units, you can reach it and have a much higher motivation
Distractions internal or external are normal in life.
In between fruits of small efforts should be stitched.
Great way of doing things.. thank you.
😅 stay energetic
How do you eat an elephant?
"Laziness is not something to be accepted or tolerated. It is a challenge to be overcome." 💪

People who give up in life are people who lose in life, my first experience happens to be a failure but I never gave up cause I knew it was going to work out for me trying continuously, fortunately I'm smiling today by getting involved in investment.. I pray that anyone who reads this will be successful in life too 🙏🙏🙏
you've remind me of what someone once said "The mind is the man, the poor is in it and the rich is it too". This sentence is the secret of most successful investors. I once attended similar and ever since then been waxing strong financially, and i most tell you the truth..investment is the key that can secure your family future.
Starting early is the best way of getting ahead to build wealth, investing remains a priority. I learnt from my last year's experience, i am able to build a suitable life because I invested early ahead this time
yeah investment is the key to sustaining your financial longevity but venturing into any legitimate Investment without a proper guidance of an expert can lead to a great loss too
exactly! That's my major concern and what kind of profitable business or investment can someone do with the current rise in economic downturn
Hello nice comments here please what exactly kind of investment are you talking about here, I'm really interested too
The illustrations, the color scheme, they just evoke happiness and warmth ❤️
Wow, this video blew my mind! As someone who has struggled with laziness, I never thought that Zen wisdom could hold the key to overcoming it. The explanation of understanding the root cause really resonated with me. I can't wait to apply these techniques in my daily life and start being more productive. Thank you for sharing this enlightening video!
I love the part where the monk explains that the feather isn’t directly on the mountain but on the other side (0:35). This subtle twist feels like such a powerful metaphor for life! We often think the hardest part is getting started, but the real reward and growth are found by pushing beyond what we initially see as possible. Beautiful story and lesson!
Rest is not laziness , true happiness is doing nothing without thinking.
I don't believe that would bring me happiness
@@yyxy.oncesaid loooool
kinda defining sleeping here
Is that what the monk is doing, sitting there?...
Humans are designed to think . Thought sparks action
After climbing and descending the mountain to get the feather, the young man was challenged to row to another continent to retrieve an eggshell, and after that he hiked to Arabia to find a grain of sand. He lived busily ever after, never questioning the value of his pursuits.
😂 Exactly!!
Lol...
the young man was only lazy because he hadn't met anyone who would order him around, send him on meaningless errands, and talk to him like the moron he was. He now qualifies for a minimum wage job at a fast food shack.
I still can’t find that damned eggshell. I’m 64 now, so not so young, but hey ho.
That is was most people do: pursuing something outside. That will never end. Just sit down and give up all this stupid searching and.. at that moment you got IT. What? You find out.
Hard work : pays off eventually
Lazyness : pays off immediatly
Nothing in life makes any sense. So, why make an effort? Just lay down and wait for death. He will come sooner or later. Be patient.
The biggest lesson for my part is having a clear vision of what you really want in life. The though of achieving the impossible ignites the energy in us to persevere in the midst of all hurdles...
I always live by NIKE'S words.
JUST DO IT💯
Once you put these 3words in everything,life becomes easier
I appreciate the practical advice on mindfulness. It's refreshing to see a channel that focuses on real-life applications of Buddhist principles!
I once knew a very hard working woman around 1990/91 who had a daughter who was always very lazy. Sadly, the daughter died shortly afterwards, and it was only around that time that it transpired that the reason for her apparent laziness was from a lack of energy due to diabetes, which was not diagnosed until too late. The daughter also had other diabetes symptoms, such as complaints about poor vision.
Thats really sad.
Yes, low energy will eventually lead to death. That why old people are slow. I'm older and endeavouring to increase my ATP. I was ill for many years with a disease causing low energy. Many people thought I was lazy. It ruined my working life. Now in retirement I'm working on increasing my metabolism so I can enjoy the rest of my life pain free and hopefully pass naturally in my sleep someday in the distant future.
it’s kinda crazy how nobody’s talking about Antozent, they are selling 150 self help books for the price of one
I'm too lazy for that kind of thing
Meh.
I can't carry 150 books ! Do you know how many trips I'd have to make back and forth from the car to the house? Plus , there's 4 steps to get up on the porch. Ain't nobody got time for that.
@@ToddiGreat-le2quit's an e-book that you download for 20$ lol
It's easier to do a task for someone else than to do something for yourself :P
What do you get from doing something for someone else? Can you give that to yourself?
I've followed the teachings of Zen for many years, and read many writings such as Zen Flesh, Zen Bones, but I've never come across a story less inspiring than this one.
Yes, the story comes across as slightly patronising. Like yourself, have read books like Zen Flesh, Zen Bones but find the most lucid comments are in a book entitled Zen Essence by Thomas Cleary, published by Shambhala books, Colorado, USA.
For most of my life I have felt like I am mired in the debris of creative ideas that I started with enthusiasm, but lost momentum and moved onto something else. Incredibly, after viewing this and listening to this story my procrastination is gone and I have completed all my unfinished projects. I am so motivated and organized since I saw this, I am volunteering to help the needy 3 days a week!
@@kristinabliss Do you make house calls? I have a lot of loose ends that need tidying up.

there shouldn't be word lazy ? why ,.well think about us as human make decisions what to do throughout the day. hardest thing to do to change your routine.
@@erivtery9000 Yes
Your not lazy, you just don't know what you like or dislike.
@@alpark3024 So true and then people get depressed and live an idle life which resembles and feels like laziness. People need purpose.
I'm not quite convinced
I like the message, but not the words laziness and must.
When the boys decided he wanted to make a choice, besides other than staying in his comfortzone, he overcome his 'laziness' which was really a choice you want to make.
Is it lazy? What is lazy? Is lazy the same as not making choices, than yes. Is lazy the same as staying in your comfortzone, than yes. But if you call someone lazy, me, and you don't present an opportunity to deal with it, than it feels like a verdict. Not everyone takes up on this as a challenge. Lazy I feel now is my trigger word! Thank you for reading and have a great day 🙏🏼
The monk wanted feather but was too lazy to get it himself so he conned a young man to do his task and give him some random words of advice.
Moral: it's ok to be lazy as long as you make other do your task free of cost
Legend in the comments section 😂
This is the cutest comment here. Am Smiling
Haha 😂 I don't know if this is what they call "fun fact "

In my version the young man finds the cave and the feather. He then cleans out the cave and turns that into his lazy place and no pestering Monks or people ever bother his slumber again.
In my version , you are the type of person who wants to stay in a comfort zone and never want to accomplish anything or to change .
😂😂😂😂

Great proverbs. It has biblical, mindset. Growth. & perseverance,oerperatio,people pace,preparation 5 P people. Can't achieve ANTHIBG Without these.
It's hard to move on and do sinple tasks when you too anxious or depressed because people don't understand at all. Take your time and remember that if you're not healthy you must take you own time. Don't give up, it's not laziness in your case! It's just hard to keep going beacuse you're tired, but you can do it. Things will get better.
Eat nutritious diet. Drink plenty of water.
Take liquid vitamins. These are easier to digest.

Ah, luv, it's not the "people" understanding, it's you. It all starts with Owning who You are, en extension of Source to love and play together ... Peopel can only see what you present to them, they can only see and understand you when you See and decide to listen, love and truly understand you. That's the point dear.
I appreciate how the video highlights the role of discipline and consistency in combating laziness.
Laziness can be honed to a skill. I have improved every job task because of laziness, increasing productivity and company profit because I dont like to do anything that wastes time or has procedures that are slow and silly.
Laziness is the mother of invention
Allow me to tell you something someone once said to me, a long time ago and it’s THE most accurate truth I’ve ever heard and it’s very simple : you have to want it bad enough. It doesn’t matter what it may be. , if you want it bad enough you will work hard at it
Laziness is not something that should be accepted but it is a challenge that we should overcome
Laziness is often depression or trauma, so yes.

A story that gives me motivation to continue overcoming difficulties. Thank!
In a world where multitasking, speed and hard work is over rated and rest/ sleep is kind of demonised, we should start with updating the real definition of ‘lazyness’.
Wow, that feather was simply amazing!
The beautiful reading of the story helped me. understand it. easily . . .I am not a native english speaker . . .Thank you very much . . .
So great….and the power in your voice…Love it ❤
The moral of the story - do not listen to people passing by when you are enjoying being lazy, even if they are monks
People who give up are the ones who lose. My first experience was a failure, but I never gave up because I believed it would eventually work out. I hope that everyone who reads this finds success as well.
Thanks- I needed this today. Beautifully told except for one tiny mistranslation in the captions at 3:13: "Now he knew that he had the strength and determined Asian to overcome any obstacle..." Though I suppose this was the story of a determined Asian really. Coincidentally, I have a feeling that old monk had placed the feather in the cave. He'd probably trained dozens of kids that way.
You write stories within story.dont you?
@@nawatime_titha Yes :) Because in movies, characters do things "offscreen" as well as "onscreen". The monk could only know a feather was in that cave if he had placed it recently- and in a spot where it would not just blow away!
@@videowilliams you look wiser ..monk has to go back to the cave for next kid too?isnt he?or for small stone from the cave? What do you think?
I suspect you are a perfectionist.. that might keep you from moving forward, if you are expecting perfect outcome. Perfect conditions to get started.
@@ilax4244 Very true. It gives me pause if not an outright block in starting on big things.
This is about "pull" motivation (an exciting thing pulling you forward), as opposed to "push"motivation (having external forces driving you, or you learning to drive yourself). It seems we need pull until we can see the benefit of learning to push ourselves.
You are feeling happy, interested, succesfull, strength, self confident while working which u totaly forget b4 starting.
2.when we push ourselves to achieve we discover a strength and resilience within ourselves that we never knew
3. Feather's meathaphor and end are tied badly
Wow so much wisdom ❤so glad I found this channel !! Laziness can affect anyone if you alllow it and you will shorten your life being lazy , our bodies are meant to move !! : Let’s Go
Something that is not ordinary but above extraordinary.
A true lesson to be learnt no matter the age. I think.
Inspiring. Yesterday afternoon as I walked back up my short driveway after checking the mail, I noticed a Blue Jay feather laying on the ground about half way up to the house. I just went back and picked it up. I named the little feather "Zen". I put Zen on my dresser and I feel so much better now, I believe a short nap is in order.
If a monk ever asks you to climb a mountain,wait a day and then give it to him
"THE STRENGTH AND DETERMINE ASIAN" 😂😂😂 had me rolling 😂
I was wondering if anyone else caught that! Haha
@@JohnnyNomega we did. Still confused with that
Took a lot of scrolling to find someone else saw that lol
I feel alot of what was said as the moral was tacked on then an understanding. The monk used the young man's curiosity ro start the journey which he found the beauty in the environment as he went climbing and once he was on the other side he knew he did the climb once he knew he could do it again.
So what I understand of the story is one must be interested in the world around them to overcome laziness and what has been done once can be done again.
Why overcome laziness? If it's intentional is good. The problem is when people actjust for the sake of doing something and I'm talking of 90% of human action.
Thank you for creating this wonderful content! It’s clear you put a lot of heart into your work. Can’t wait to see more!
Start with small tasks and break the larger ones up into smaller approachable nuggets. Do the less favorable tasks first. Having somewhat of a routine will instigate discipline and consistency. Reward yourself at the end of the day. And if you didn’t get it right today, you can try again tomorrow. Don’t punish yourself. Love and encourage yourself to keep on moving forward.

Wow, this video was truly touching and inspiring. I also love sharing meaningful stories with moral values, and this content resonates with me deeply. Thank you for creating such impactful work
So basically the mind-blowing Zen secret to overcoming laziness is to not be lazy. Or am I missing something?
It's to push yourself further regardless of what you feel.
haha you're absolutely right, this video didnt help me at all....what helps me is thinking very very very long term, bringing immediate hope, immediate peace and taking tiny steps which efffortlessly turn into faster steps cos the results dont matter, its all long term
Ya i don't get it. I love being lazy. I was ready for a profound answer to change me
Absolutely. This video is all promises, no delivery. I found it very lacking in real advice!
It’s to not define laziness by what others do.
Honestly the lazier I get in the gym the more I grow. Used to try and go everyday. It became my therapy. But ultimately when I allowed myself to make excuses to no go. I started going 5 days a week and growing more than I’d ever dreamed I could. It’s circumstantial.
Great video! I needed to hear this today. Thank you❤
to me the lesson is to wait around long enough for someone to challenge you.
but what if there is no one around to challenge you? Only around to knock you down over again and instill doubt. Do i abandon that place? seek refuge where i do not hav to hear people discouraging me all the time? i have been my only positive voice in my mind for so long. all my efforts easily looked over. im the only one that sees my progress. i cheer for myself in each step to move forward only to be crushed everytime. im the only one that knows hard ive been trying with nothing to show.
He who lays in the grass all day under the shade with total peace of mind of himself is to be left alone. But the one that is trapped in shadows that deafen the light of the sun are loosing battles to the cold, yet fight to keep the fire within themselves burning so that they might see another day to try. Meanwhile those who walk in the sun see no one there in the illusion of the shadows. Greeted by warmth and sun, they live viciously in their rightful energy.
A wilted flower is not lazy.
3:14 "determined Asian" 🤣
Nice catch! 🫥
Wow, just loved the narration and compilation...🎉🎉🎉❤
The moral of the story: Don't do favors for old people, they're trying to ruin your free time for something they didn't even need.
Lol 😅
. . . . and they'll keep you awake doing stuff like collecting feathers; probably so they can make a Down bed to nap on. 😅
😂
😂😂😂
For me, the key takeaway is that having a meaningful goal or something exciting to look forward to is crucial for motivating action. It’s like setting a destination for a journey; knowing where you’re headed ignites a fire within you to start moving. Whether it’s pursuing a passion or focusing on personal growth, that sense of purpose creates momentum and makes every step feel worthwhile. Without it, it’s easy to feel lost, but once you discover what truly excites you, taking that leap becomes much easier! 🌟✨
Thanks for sharing this story have a marvelous day ❤
I love the way you present your content. This video was top-notch! 👍
the determination at 3:14 got me lol
Yes I was looking for someone else who caught this lol
Discipline and consistency is the key factor to success.
I'm too lazy to do anything. I'm trying to overcome the laziness but it's really hard for me. Anyone else here 🙃
Have lived a sedentary life for decades. Will be 63 in a few weeks but feel as young as a teenager. One of the core messages of Zen Buddhism is that we must save energy in order to achieve full enlightenment. Can confirm that this is exactly right, wasting energy to appear busy and active compared with lazy is pointless.
@@bodhiapurva3887 Good for you that you saved your energy for your old age. lol
Thankyou for Mentoring, I believe which is essential at this time in the world due to various reasons👍
Meditation on lord Name, the laziness fly away
We’ll done! Enjoyed the Artful Presentation and message from the monk’ 😊
For me personally, the video misses the most impactful point from a practical standpoint. I think most of us know that laziness is something we must overcome. As a side note, the video doesn't take into account all of the possible mental roadblocks we face from genetics, trauma, anxiety, etc. that lead to habitual laziness, but that's another discussion... To me the lesson here that we can take into our daily life is 'Just get started.' Motivation doesn't come from words or a good pep talk. That will only take you so far. Motivation comes from the smallest of actions. He started, he felt the need to keep going based on the positive feelings of taking action, and he finished the job. Make getting started easy, and you'll take that first step. Just my rambling two cents.
1/The story begins with a monk coaching and inspiring: a teacher.
2/There are setbacks in life caused by hatred, sabotage, falsehood, destructive minds from people towards life itself. (like war situations and soldiers getting to suffer from ptss for example).
Even if we get loads of difficulties and people trying to pick on and on and on and on on us, for selfish, mean or just fulish and certainly stupid reasons (is there a war that is not stupid?), we still must go on, though the system gets tired, not willing to give up, but depressed and in different ways concentration and focus hurt. By the anger of other peoples´ ego..you then get an overload of stress and problems to deal with, which or not even your own problems, not even your own ´lazyness´, but that of others and more.
Depressed might look lazy, it is not that simple to deal with...
In this story and advising ´mind-blowing´ wisdom is nothing about how to get rid of the lazyness that some people overcome by hurting and violencing and disrespecting someone who works hard. To get rid of the setbacks created through people who trying to bully and sabotage and make war for no reason at all, whom do so to try to steal energy and spirit and getting ´life´ at the costs of others.. a not natural setback, but from low: much lower then lazyness, namely wicked, the setbacks coming from cowards, the wars from idiots.. at the cost of time and soul.. at the cost of LIFE
Mind-blowing Zen to me starts always with 1/ Teacher-coach (help from higher), 2/ To practise what we have learned.
Simple and powerful technics are not discussed here, nor any secret.
Protect life as much as you can!
All Lazies r here 😂
Haaaa.... Indeed😂😂😂
Present and alert...in my bed hah
I was too lazy to even finish the video.
Watching for a friend 😅
@@ncognito2388i can finished the video but still lazy😪😪😪
This is a great channel! I only saw you recently, but it's now among my favorite channels.
As always this is worth seeing! rise and shine!👏
Very usefull lesson and very comfortabl, i wish that the youtube will be full of videos like this. INSHA'ALLAH
if I was that young man, even at the mention of exotic feather, I would not have given up my laziness.
Saved to watch later!
I’m even lazy to watch this video so bye bye
😂😂😂
Hahahahahah amazing 😂
😂😂😂😂 so meee😂
😂😂
That is not funny, it is sad
To me, the lesson is to recall positive moments and success that you have achieved in the past. Be inspired and remember that you had done it before, you can do it again. Then you heart sparks. Sometimes, when you are so downtrodden, and you see no solutions, you forget that you are capable of amazing things. Then, the key is to make the first step forward.
So what about the feather? Magic? I would have to know why the feather was worth the journey?
Process is more important than the results
My lesson: I get inspired for exactly 5 seconds watching videos like these, and then move on to other videos and become lazy again. Moral of the story is, lazy people will remain lazy no matter what, we just need to accept it and be at peace.
A very inspiring content, thank you for this!
Let’s not confuse laziness with depression. 9 times out of 10 it’s depression.
Same here, from 15 til age 55 I played and worked extremely hard, and now after covid, broken relationships and the passing of several dear people, I feel drained physically and mentally. And is a struggle just to get out of bed and eat......
@@cocoloco65482 age 14 to 43 worked and played and school. COVID came and crashed the party. Lost my father in 2014 when my daughter was only a year old. Still dealing with her father terrorizing us both. Can’t work because I’m disabled and don’t receive disability. I truly don’t know how I’m still 6 feet above ground. I pray we both find the peace in death that we clearly haven’t found in life.
Nowadays it became very common in many homes that male members dominate their wife and children.
It happens in my house and also in my relatives' homes.
Yes, when we are feeling very low it's hard to motivate ourselves. The word lazy is often used to describe people who are not contributing to anything meaningful but why should anyone who is disenchanted with life suddenly try to start achieving things that others are doing? Just follow your own path whatever is affecting you be that depression or feeling stable and emotionally balanced.
The lesson i got from this video is that "mind-blowing" is in the eye of the beholder
It is so wise to be lazy. No running around. The old man ought to know better ...
Namo Buddha....may everyone be blessed with peace and tranquility
Trouble is if the young man lacks curiosity, he’ll continue napping.
I'm motivated by this content. A book I read with parallel material shifted my life's narrative. "Mindful Mastery: Living Intentionally in a Chaotic World" by Kyle Ash
Now the monk has a superdope feather.
I'm very bad at meditating, but I will try to meditate tonight to clear my mind, thank you author
So you want me to do something for YOU that has no upside for me, other than doing the task, when I could choose to do other tasks that actually offer a reward for ME? In the words of SNLs Chad, "uh, no thanks". : ) I CHERISH the times I choose to simply relax and BE, even if YOU choose to call me lazy. just sayin'....
The narrator voice is amazing , almost sounds a little robotic , but if this is WOW its brilliant.
What a great lesson indeed
Growth mindset, I bet all the bankers and businessmen around the world have taken that to heart....and see where that have taken us.
Villagers: Let's get this straight, while we were toiling away chopping wood, building houses etc. you were enjoying a lovely hike to get a white feather?
