I've mentioned before that I have a collection of quotes that I've built over the years that I work from.

This guy was not on my list until just now.

I had not heard of this man until yesterday.

I, for some reason, decided to watch an episode of Penn and Teller's Fool Us and there he was.

This guy has been blind since he was nine. He's an amazing card mechanic, magician and a black belt in karate.

When he was introduced onto the show he said something that I decided to quote him on because it was moving.

"Do you know what I consider to be the worst disability of all? Procrastination and laziness. Give me blindness over that any day of the week."

I've been guilty of it as I'm sure most of us have.

I've talked about procrastination before so I will be brief with this post.

Every time we procrastinate on anything we miss opportunity.

Every time we decide to be lazy instead of doing what we know we can, we are only harming our own future.

Here is something I learned from a great teacher.

What you are experiencing now is the result of what you have thought and acted on in your past.
What you will experience in the future is the result of what you are thinking and acting on now.

Make your future something you can be proud of!

Begin to consciously create it right now.

Would you rather have your ass kicked by a blind man? Lol.

"Do you know what I consider to be the worst disability of all? Procrastination and laziness. Give me blindness over that any day of the week."

Remember, inspiration can come from anywhere.

Thanks for reading.

Such a great post, I hadn't heard of him till recently may well have been the same show I just cannot remember right now

His quote is great and kind of good timing for me right now, I have never been either lazy or a procrastinator but I think in the last few months with Health issues I had to slow down a little and have been slow in building myself back up, funnily enough I was thinking about it just as I was heading to bed last night and this post is the reinforcement I need to give myself a kick and get back up to my normal full speed

Cheers

@tattoodjay, what a wonderful reply! This is precisely the type of synchronicity that keeps me doing these posts every day. I wish you the best today in your endeavors!

Thank you and may you have a great day

Brilliant post, thanks for sharing!

Love that word... brilliant. You've just gained a follower for stoking my ego lol

Oh, truth!! I love this guy and have only really recently heard of him. The fact that he can laugh at himself makes me love him even more.

"Do you know what I consider to be the worst disability of all? Procrastination and laziness. Give me blindness over that any day of the week."

I never thought of myself as lazy or a procrastinator until I broke some bones this winter in my leg that sidelined me... and took me months to feel like I wasn't putting off things until a better day. Ugh!

Great post. Thank you! Upped and Steemed

Thank you soo much @dswigle!

I usually stay motivated but there are times that I find myself procrastinating and have to push through it.

I'm glad you are back on track!

lazy make crazy

I seen this guy on Ripley's! He was amazing! Yes.

Yea, he's pretty bad-ass, he fooled P&T also.

I haven't seen that one, they used to crack me up when they were on Adult Swim

I think it came out a year or two ago. Pretty cool. Honestly I needed to not have to think for a while. I've seen it like once before.

Wow, what a powerful quotation! Really made me sit up and pay attention!

Thanks a lot @judyroberts! It did the same to me last night!

AAAhhh!!

Love this! Thank you for the inspiration! Sheesh! I agree! Procrastination and Laziness are the worst!

haha yes they are :)
