Why Try to be Better?
When it comes to an easy life, only you can provide it; do not depend on your partner to fill the gaps which you have created in your own life. I find that doing a little bit of work everyday keeps my mind active, keeps procrastination at bay and allows me to achieve things which would normally be difficult to achieve if I set out to do it within a competitive time-frame.
One of the biggest factors in failure, is a lack of belief in one’s own abilities, coupled with an incomplete understanding of how to work. The truth is that humans need to achieve to feel good about themselves. It is nearly impossible to sit all day doing nothing constructive and feel at the end of the day exhilarated and happy at what you have not achieved… yet when you work hard for an hour or two you are able to spend the rest of the day relaxed and happy that you are in control of your life and actively building skills and achieving results that will accumulate over time into things which will make you feel good about yourself and which will make your life easier and more happy.
The truth is that a good, happy, relaxed lifestyle only comes with daily effort and you must be patient to wait for the results. If you spend 30 mins everyday running, then don’t expect to breath deeper and feel more energetic and fit in two weeks time (though you will probably see improvements within that time-frame) - keep at it and then in 6 months time you can feel proud of what you have done. Just remember that self-discipline is your friend and procrastination is your nemesis. If you sleep with the wrong one you will end up in trouble and consequently deserve the lifestyle you create.

I agree with you. Most people will do what’s easiest and avoid hard work to better themselves. They hope for success that comes once from luck. But they don’t realise that luck could happen one or twice in life and they would never be able to repeat that success. And people who worked hard for their success can overtake you by strong results and the ability to mantain them.
