I was overcome with the irony as I saved this to “Watch Later”.
Same bro
Bahahaha!
lol! thats funny, I did too!
Me too, weeks ago, until today - but at least you (we) were aware of that and this can or will make the difference some day ;-)
😂😂😂😂
"Laziness is only relevant if you feel like you are not fulfilling your potential"
I don't think I've heard a line more relevant to my life, instant subscribe
so shitty goddamn true!
Yeah definitely I guess it really does come down to perspective
But you have to agree laziness is absolutely corrosive. I don't want to be comfortably numb I want to be stretched. He makes a great reference to Wim Hof though.
I've come to that conclusion a while ago, just didn't say out loud to myself. I have potential in so many things, that's why I always feel guilty when I'm not doing what I should do, to achieve those things.
wittyfox I agree with you 100 percent but instead our tax dollars are used in the technology of robots for Unmanned Aerial Vehicle surveillance and bombings and much more for battle. It’s taken a questionable turn if world peace is even possible with our willingness to fight than to resolve as a whole. I wish it can be made. Your idea for how our world should be is brilliant and everyone could live a fearless life without scrutiny.
I’m in a veteran hospital now and the veterans here are terribly wounded from war. I don’t often see them not in pain. It’s frustrating to be here and frustrating to be out of here when I’m able to leave for a short time.
It's not that I'm lazy, it's just that I'm dead inside.
Amen.
If you resist doing one thing, you are wasting more energy than doing it. And because I'm lazy, I do it
Mike Johnson sending positive vibes your way
Same here. I don't even know what I want anymore.
Bless you, I can relate !
Some wise person said something like "Measure your day not by how productive you are, but by how PRESENT you are". I like dat.
He went from crazy stoner to crazy college professor and back like six times.
I laughed too hard at this.
XD
😂
Lots of stoners achieve that
what about the not-stoners?
Laziness is a side-effect of the lack of purpose. Its only cure is finding a purpose.
You really gave me and a lot of other people an eye-opener there!
Fuark. so true. I'm doing shit I hate which makes me miserable and "lazy" to a point of depression that I have to take meds for.
Not sure i agree there. There's more to it than that. It's possible to have and know your purpose but not act on it. Just because you know what you want and where you want to be does not in itself bring about action.
So true! Right on point!
I don't remember anybody inviting Jordan Peterson's smurf account.
This helps a lot more than those people who just say "Just do it"
Cough** Nike **cough** Shia Labeouf **cough**
bruhh it depends on ///HOW///' you say it
If you resist doing one thing, you are wasting more energy than doing it. And because I'm lazy, I do it
That’s honestly what I live by tho, rather than dwelling on it I literally “just do it” the only think holding you back is yourself if you think about it, it’s not that hard
Yup
Theres a difference between being lazy and being in a rut ( is that spelled with one or two 'T's?
I am one of the hardest workers at my place of employment. But then I get home, and even if I have plenty time, I dont clean the house.......cos Im depressed and its all a bit overwhelming. But if I had to tidy someone elses home Id clean it with vigor. Its an important distinction I think, some ppl prolly think theyre lazy when really they are depressed/in a rut.
I have exactly the same thing.
Ross why don't you just swop the cleaning of your home with someone else they do yours and you do their's then 😂
@@wrinklies2167 haha thats a very good idea :)
@@SA77888 perhaps you could try to split it up into very small very managable things. And settle for doing one of those things every day. But also don't lie to yourself really stick to it. Only do that one thing and then feel good about it. Just a small win every day. And all the good feelings that Come with that.
I hear you I'm a roofer and a very hard worker. I'll work hard then tidy the scaffold up at the end of each day no problem and I'm quick about it, but when im at home I can never bring myself to tidy up. It's something my mrs always gets on to me about
I wouldn't like to get in to a game of scrabble with Russell Brand.
can u play ludo he can he champ
Exactly he uses such big words all the time I love it
Haha that would be amazing
Why are you mental mate?
I hear you. But I would.
Hes got a point IMHO. The less i do the more anxious i become. The mind appreciates the body making an effort.
100%, i cant take more than 3-4 days off work without feeling completely melted & bored off my tits, i have hobbies aswell but a good days work is the best thing for anybody imo
Walking is a good way to reduce anxiety. Walk for an hour in the park and you will feel your mind clear up.
Doing stuff is a distraction from your anxiety. You need to be content in your own skin...
Damn. Very true.
That's why weekends scare me
I have a cat, it’s true. I’ve observed him, he’s never bored. I’ve noticed him chest puffed out and eyes closed. It’s like he’s recharging the body.
Thanks for the advice 🙏
Russell Brand: Let's talk about anything.
Me: Brings out my 500k word dictionary.
“Time you enjoy wasting, was not wasted.”
John Lennon
“ Laziness is only relevant if you feel that you’re not filling your potential.” Truth!
michele haase exactly. be lazy if you want
michele haaase thats if you'' want to pursue that potential that is.
I agree with this 100%. Laying on a bed with Cheetos is frowned upon in our Calvinist society. Yet, it’s Sunday. Why the fuck do you want me out plowing the fields?
Jacob Serrano Sunday, the Sabbath, is the day of rest my son ... cheetos away :-)
Or if you become a burden to society.
When I was suffering with depression was called lazy. But managed to heal myself so whose laughing now. I am because i managed to find my mental health
Good for you. If you have that kind of inner strength then there is no stopping you. I hope life brings you only good things 👍
Ye... I am in bed now.. told my kids I am sorry... doctor said mommy needs to rest because I have just had shoulder surgery... truth is I know I am depressed and the longer I stay in this marriage it feels like the heavier the invisible load becomes that it’s feels like I am carrying a slab a cement on my chest. I am in tears... cause mommy is suppose to be the nurturer. Daddy is there. I am dying inside and he doesn’t see. His a pastor... works with people every day helping them, encouraging them. Talks more to the people he works with and loves than he does to his own wife. He doesn’t hit me. Shout at me or anything like that. His a good dad. He loves God. But that’s all I know about him. We have been married for 9 years. When I see him with his people... how he laughs and talks to them. I just get more sad. It looks like anger but it’s not. I just feel so alone. And when he is away I enjoy my babies so much. When he is at home. I don’t want to get out of bed. I am always the one being sent for therapy. Been doing that for over 20 years. I was also drug addict once. Came clean got married to a pastor.. had kids... I worked in the same ministry.. been fired twice.... I am no angel.... I am praying to God to give him someone that will support him and give me a way out. I have no job now... so I bake. Had surgery do I can’t bake for 6 weeks. He goes off to work, kids go to school.... and I am stuck in my head.... I pray... God I pray.... I fucked up a few times in the last 10 years.... but managed to quickly get back up.... I can’t seem to get back up this time. I am crying... not for me..., but I am afraid I damage my babies.
Steven Gerrard thanks for taking the time to respond. Yes.... writing has been my saving grace many a time. Especially the days I found myself in lockup for crimes due to my addiction. I write letters to God all the time. But it seems to only come from one place.... self pity.... I assure you it’s not.... it’s more frustration.... why the fuck am I still stuck in my head.
Steven Gerrard you just happened to leave out the the part that you play football, your a star... well not to me anyway... I don’t watch football... only when I have to... and you have a gorgeous family.... and probably fucken loaded. Yip, I do believe depression like drugs or alcohol or any mental health issue is not particularly concerned with who and what you are or what you have. But one thing is for sure.... you my friend have a secret. You get to train... you can work out all your frustrations in the gym.... on the road... running... sweating.... there where no one sees you.... you run till you can’t run anymore and then you just scream... well for you it would be shout... being male and all. Ye this feels kinda awkward because I thought I would try and figure out a way to message you... not stalk you.... you safe... my husband would not be pleased. You going to have to send me a friend request; Tamarind Victoria Loock. There are two pages. Don’t send it to the one where I am wearing a blue shirt, smiling like some Celtic queen. It’s my page but I can’t get in it... don’t ask! The other page has some writing on the back.... also says Tamarind Victoria Loock - warrior bride! 👉 right... love up to your full potential isn’t it?
I posted a post on face book at 3 am yesterday morning... who the hell is awake at 3 am in the morning... me... I am.... that’s normally when the truth comes out.. well my truth anyway... my perspective, which apparently somehow is flawed I keep hearing..... I got told to remove it when he got out of bed. Nothing written down there was a lie.... but I get... it’s all about his reputation. I need to respect that. And I will. And I do. I think I just sometimes want to be heard.
we slept in separate rooms.
Tell me, why does the wife always have to move to the spare room.... I mean I bought the bed in the main room... fuck.... you would think I should get to sleep in it. Noooo.... it’s a Afrikaner South African Male thing!!🤣🤣🤣 oh sleep in which ever bed you like, just leave me alone. It’s now fucken 1 am in the morning. In a couple of hrs the sun will be up.... what happened this weekend can never happen again. I saw my babies take strain. Not fair on them.
Oh fuck, I can’t make it go away or like it never happened but I can stand up tomorrow morning, make lunch , dress them and send them off to school.
When everyone is gone..., I’ll sit... ill write... I’ll cry... I realized I have suppressed emotions so deep... buried them.... if I unearth them they probably not going to look like their original design... well at this point neither do I.
I told you about the part you can look me up on face book. I have messenger there. Technology is not my gifting. Writing is.
@@tammyloock3713 it isnt steven gerrard
Truth is lazyness was my first addictive behaviour and it took 30 years and too many drugs to eventually wake up... Thank you so much for your advice and inspiration...
Never used to like this guy... but his personality seems to be ageing very well and he's quite profound actually.
ur brain is dead.u listen 2 this numpty
Sardo Numpsy?
@wittyfox hey 1% is ok to hold back in reserve when 99% is exhausted wise move wittyfox sly but clever
Well he was a pretty bad addict back then so that would probably explain it. Check out his book on recovery. Good stuff.
I didn't like him either when he first hit the scene. He played misogynistic douchebags in movies and his commentary was always so vile and disrespectful, but looking at him now, he's proof that people can change and that's what we're here for. To find our true selves and not who society has molded us to be.
Russell you have helped me so much. I've always enjoyed your comedy and philosophy. I am a recovering addict and your books, videos, movies and even stand up specials have lifted me up and kept me strong. I've never been clean for a solid year even with so many attempts....I celebrate a year clean from all drugs and alcohol on April 4th....but I don't see myself ever going back to that life. I don't miss it. Thank you for all you do for people you've never met
Good to hear, I'm a month clean. Obviously not much but goon strong. I find him helpful also, except when he talks politics. That rule of don't talk religion or politics at the table applies for some reason for me when I watch youtube. I cannot stand how every entertainment person that I watch at least, sticks theor opinion into either and that's just accepted as funny. I can't do it is ruining comedy when every single comedy late night show host now has a clear political agenda and is all their shows are anymore. Love brand, just wish he'd stay to stuff like this.
Well done Matt... Although I know there is never a short cut to success, could you possibly bullet point those key factors that helped you with your sobriety? I, as I'm sure would many, would be truly appreciative.
Matt Gonzalez Good for you! That's amazing! I've never read his book, yet I do enjoy his comedy. Also enjoy his movie the performance and comedy, in them!
Power to ya man!
Matt Gonzalez God bless you 🙏🏻
Really enjoying these videos you have been putting out, I like getting new perspectives on stuff like this. Keep them coming.
I can't help but love everyone that has the courage to put themselves out there to elaborate upon subjects like this
My 'laziness" has had a positive effect that I am normally extremely efficient at whatever i do. Minimum effort, maximum result, the sooner I get to sit down and be.
It's also important to differentiate between laziness and depression or burnout. Those can often look the same to someone on the outside. There was a time where it looked like I was being lazy but the truth is I felt Dead on the inside and even 3 dirty dishes in the sink felt like a mountain and even the thought of washing them stressed me out and dragged me down, it all just felt POINTLESS, I felt like I was circling the same mountain over and over with no end in sight, like "why am I even here, why should I do these dishes, they'll be back later and every day for the rest of my dreary pointless life...", I felt like this not because I was lazy but because my soul was hurting and I felt like there was no point in doing anything and even waking up and getting ready was an endless painful chore, it's very important to talk to your loved one and make sure it's not that... You have to help your loved one or yourself figure out why those feelings are there and what are the steps you need to take to get out of that dark and lonely place. It feels impossible at the time, especially when you're all alone, and not just physically alone, but in your mind and soul you feel alone and unnoticed even in a room full of people you feel invisible and abandoned and you may not even fully know why... I had no one to notice me, I could have given up, but I didn't and I'm so glad... And now I am happy and whole again. There is hope and a light at the end of the tunnel, if you are reading this and are where I was, just know that there is a way out of that, there is hope as long as you're alive. My full story is too long to put here, but it is on my CZcams channel for those interested in the details.
What did you find to get you out of that mindset? My issue is that I have everything you mention happening, in and on and off pattern. And when I’m feeling one way, I can’t access the other mindset at all. It’s like living duel personalities... not to mention the feeling of memory loss that comes with it. You forget the positive thoughts you had only just a minute ago it seems. It’s not new, I haven’t figured a way to make it integrate to less degrees of black or white, so I assume it’s just the way it is. It’s been happening for 45 years. So yes, in a nutshell, I feel lazy often. Not in a good way...until I don’t, and then I get as much done as possible!
Alvina Rayne Keto Lifestyle & Vlogs Good on you. I can relate.
Torie Beck @Torie- omg, you are exactly where I’m at as far as self realization. That being the first key element, being aware of what my issues are,. It’s just finding someone to help me in a more structured motivational way on how to deal with this. I am presently seeing a therapist through my insurance that is quite nice, but I think she may not be a good fit as far as feeling comfortable with more serious topics. I have brought up 3 serious issues, and she did not asked anything particular about them. Nothing like no response when you drop a bombshell...
I do suffer from ptsd. I never considered the complex part, lol, but yes it all is quite complex, lol again... the 3 D’S you mentioned will be my weekend research. I feel dissociative behavior is definitely an issue. I have found the true way to find my issues has always been on my own, except in situations like this. Total strangers have spoken such true words just from something I wrote or replied to. This is an amazing place for people who feel alone in their journey’s. Your reply is so graciously heard and appreciated. Your words have made a difference in the right direction, which I am always striving for. Direction. Thank you. ❤️🌸🙏
Or having an hangover.
Great observation. I slipped into 'laziness' after not managing my work-life balance and taking on too many side projects. At one point I just didn't have the energy and enthusiasm for any of them and ended up feeling drained.
"Do find your own standards and abide by them... do take counsel from those your admire..." well said-100% agree. Thanks for sharing this moment of contemplation.
Hi Russell.
I'm a recovering heroin and crack addict ,coming up on 13 years 100% clean and sober.
I'm an artist, a painter,an avid workout fanatic/mountain biker,whose replaced drugs/alcohol, with these more healthy, creative things.
Seriously..I still feel lazy.
I completely relate to your thought process,brother.
Very wise stuff,my man
Rock on,dude...I'm definitely subscribing, and watching
Ps-I get up at 3 am ,everyday, and I've done same,everyday, last 12 years, 9 months.
You’re amazing 👏🏼 keep up the good work
“I’ve surrendered my will absolutely but I’m always taking it back to a degree” love you Russell Brand and your honesty.
Authenticity with oneself is key.
I think what he came to close to addressing is balancing the pain of having to do work now with the pain of (having not done anything) and regret in the future.
It is impossible to surrender your will completely, because paradoxically speaking the will would be the one that is doing the surrending, and that my friends leads us to yet another question in the long line of infinite questions. So if you surrender to everything then you are still not surrendering to surrendering. And so life goes, a slave to the will within, the self being an illusion, albeit a very persistant one.
I woke up at 5am and I'm still in bed watching this, it's 9:20am 😅
You sloth o.0
You lazy twat lol
Bee you’re going to have to go to bed earlier. I’ve gotten into the habit of waking up early now days, and it’s getting to the point where I somehow wake myself about a minute before my alarm goes off, it’s weird.
The fact that you were even up at 5am and didn’t have to go anywhere is in itself impressive.
Being an early riser doesn't make someone less lazy, and being a late sleeper doesn't make someone a layabout. It's how much effort you put into the time given. When that time starts should be a matter of preference.
This bollocks about getting up early is a hollow, old fashioned, and out of date view that causes more bother than good.
BTW I'm not having a go at early risers. I get up at 6am every day but that's only becasue that's when I naturally wake up. I don't actually start work until noon.
What I'm saying is that it doesn't (or shouldn't) matter when you get up.
I am so glad these vids now have SUBTITLES! Thank you ;) helps a lot.
I love hearing your take on the world and life, you're mind amazes me and keeps me in thought long after your video has ended! Thanks for sharing
i took on a 4:30-1pm shift four months ago. Been waking up at 3:45, sometimes 3am.
i have lost 55 lbs since mid november and i dont wake up with numb limbs( was 6'6' 285 now 6'6 230 trying to get to 215). Thank you for the videos and wisdom.

Thanks for posting more videos. I’m really enjoying them.
Never really been a big fan of his before but I found this an incredibly profound and thought provoking insight. Thank you Russell.
I am a guilty kind of lazy person. Who managed somehow to get a lot done in my life. But while I was getting a lot done, I was frequently in a bad mood because I wanted to go home and sleep.
Theres a balance to everything and its all terribly nuanced!
You are not alone. I always feel I should be doing something else, something more. Real feeling or a mind distraction by what I'm doing by not living in the moment?
damn this is relatable, although i didn't get all that much done.
Laziness is a 'gift': To snooze away a morning, to stare at the sky, watch and listen to the sparrows flying by. Laze in the sunshine, never asking why? Curled up on a comfy chair or a loved ones bony thigh. snuggled in a duvet, stretched out on the floor, getting fed, then time for bed.......... who could ask for more. MEOW!
Maybe tell yourself that the treat or reward for all your hard work will be just relaxing at home.
"I suppose what you don't want to do is lethargically, sluggishly slouch on a couch inert and hopeless.."
He says, as I am doing just that. Genuinely felt like it got personal for a moment there. lmfao. He's right, though.
Even covered in gunk covered in gunk?
Lazy so & so.
But yeah same here.
Jimmy TwoTimes I'll give myself that one concession, I wasn't covered in gunk.
Were you covered in gunk though?... if not give yourself a pat on the back... if you were... try to do a bit better...
Jane Dean haha same here, baby steps baby steps.
I like the title of the book "The Myth of Laziness." You weren't lazy, Russell, you were addicted. Believing you are lazy is a form of having low self esteem. If you feel you are not "fulfilling your potential" then that is a construct you've adopted in a driven-to-be-successful culture. I have found that success comes with making a commitment to an interesting and meaningful path, then letting it all happen naturally from there. People always tell me that I am "disciplined" because I am always doing art, writing and pursuing other stimulating careers that bring me happiness. In fact, everything I do is with a sense of its completely intrinsic to my nature. In other words, do ONLY what you love and everything (including the actions you need to take) will come. P.S. I am writing this to remind myself.
Love the P.S.😉
You sound very unsure...I can't decide if you're telling us or looking for approval.
@@andychauhan6544 its hard to be sure tho
Eleanor Churchill could well be so.
Love the motivation it keeps me going ! Thanks for all that you do!

czcams.com/video/YtfiWyVZtmQ/video.html
Who's that?
until you accidentally shit yourself.....
The main reason I'm lazy is because it's always been my life's goal. So I feel extremely fulfilled being lazy. For a long time I couldn't be arsed to be lazy, spent lots of time working, and was miserable. I then worked hard on my laziness, have now achieved lazy nirvana, and it is most excellent. I will eventually die a happy man, because I suppose lying in a box or drifting about as ashes must be peak laziness.
hey russell just wanted to say that watching your videos the last few months have been extremely helpful and have massively improved my life i genuinely have no idea how to repay you so thank you!
I think your awesome and very kind person that cares about the world and the people in it. It is refreshing knowing that there is someone in the world like you. We all have flaws it shouldn't be the thing that define us as a person but as a learning experience.
Laziness can be a form of giving up on life. It is rather complex, one of them 'to be, or not to be' gigs
Yup.
Yes but I think it's best to positively frame it as a "break" from what you were doing, appreciate the rest and try not to buy into the labelling of yourself as "lazy" then find a way to renergise, take stock, reset your sights and get back on that horse, so to speak.
if you have depression being lazy is normal
@@joew2450 For some there is no positive framework, life is just suffering
"Being a bit more vibrant" well put Russell. I just appreciate your wisdom and thoughts on things. Your sense of humor is also great.
Thanks, bro. I'm bouncing away to your older videos.
The revolution starts in a mind. It spreads to hearts. Spreads to the limbs...
Thank you for sharing this type of content. It's very helpful.
Great one. Love the videos Russell. You've found your niche, I believe!
Thank you Russell. I love listening to you speak you have such a fantastic way with words, I wish you the best
I love this video keep up the good work Russell. Too many times we think that we are being lazy because we judge ourselves to according to someone else's standards of laziness and set ourselves unrealistic goals. Its good to self evaluate and set goals according to your abilities and not someone else's. Very good advice Russell.
Loving this brother!! Thank you
really insightful and really well said, love your videos :)
I could easily motivate myself to go out and do many things. But, i find that sitting still and finding the least time-consuming ways to get things done propels me towards my goals faster. So maybe laziness is just your subconscious urging you to spend your energy carefully.
Good call. 🤔
Very true...the real Revolution is the evolution of consciousness 🌈 xxxxxxxxxxx
This is what I know to be true. Well put.
You are missing the challenge I think of course you think smart but you have to build mental resilience to pain and discomfort of any challenge which you have to overcome by facing it directly!
333arisokapoios facing things directly sounds wise and brave, and sometimes it is. But sometimes it’s better to go around problems or to unravel them in a clever way. Energy, just like money and time, is a limited resource.
Thank you bro. I really loved that and needed to hear it
Thanks for the subtitles!!
I've always been fascinated with your mind Russell Brand.
I think you're somewhat of a genius when it comes to practical life and how to deal with it.
It's great that you're doing videos and a Podcast now. I know you will be successful because you've got that magnetism that attracts people to you.
nahh..he just thinks a lot..you dont need to be a genius to understand life..you just have to be observant
Meditate
I'm always forcing myself out of comfort zones and habitual routines now.
Life is better.
@Karan But if there is no inherent reason to grow and the comfort zone is such a beautiful place then what is the peoblem with staying there if youre happy? Do you think that time enjoyed is not time wasted? Is the idea of growth not just another idea put in us by society? Is there ever a time when we have grown enough an can then relax full time?
Brilliant! Loved every moment of it
My 1st time seeing Russell was in Get Him To The Greek, one of my all time fave comedies, fn brilliant. But NOW! Russell my man, you have comer so far and are TRULY entertaining now. The deep thoughts, wisdom, etc., I just never expected some of my early spiritual learning moments to be coming from you. Thank you brother, you are doing what you are meant to do. Cheers from Houston.

Love these being so short. Great easy to watch stuff
I already can't get enough of these. You are an amazingly intuitive and special human Russell.
Laziness stems from not having the ying to your yang. Right to your left, darkness needs light. Purpose is missing when you haven’t found that reason or a reason to takle or live life to best of your ability.
Even Adam being in heavenly bliss needed eve in his life for a purpose
It's ok to be lazy sometimes you know. Everything in moderation. People that make us think that they are proactive all the time through editing their social media are as dangerous for our mental and physical image of ourselves as athletes that take performance enhancing drugs and pretend to be natural. Both give us unrealistic expectations. Sometimes the body needs a rest. There's no rule that we need to follow the hustle culture and that can even be bad for us.
@Karan Well he's not just a freak of nature in the sense that his body is made for the sport but he has dedicated his life to that one specific thing.
Not many people will experience or even require that amount of discipline in a lifetime.
We can try to learn from him and be inspired. That's probably good enough.
truth brov. if you question whether or not moderation exists in your balance of action/inaction- it probably does and you're likely being hard on yourself for reasons related to those causes/illusions you mention. but for some of us, there is, without a doubt, a consistency of stagnantness that becomes almost habitual. like you know when you mean to respond to a message from someone and then so many weeks pass that you just decide "well, fck it can't do it now can i?" but that's to almost everyone and everything. passing functional depressive here- feeling like r.b. and those of us watching who can relate are doing our best with this life.
Hux yes well I think discipline is the cure for that sort of thing.
Yeah my channel is about Tarot but I also do a bit of powerlifting. Thought of that name in the gym haha.
Going to talk about Zen and the art of Gainz at some point haha
@Karan Michael Phelps has been on tv promoting Talk Space therapy confessing that he himself suffers from depression. So it seems even talented athletes need a break periodically.
Karan I think if you work hard you’re much more likely to be successful but working 15 hours a day is probably too much for most minds to handle
Thank you, thank you, thank you! You always enlighten!
I love you Russell, your videos and Instagram are a little light in my life at the moment as I'm going through a difficult time. Thank you. I've hit the bell, buzz away in my pocket 😁 x
Love you! You've grown dude, seriously! Love from Illinois!

timwins31 Hopefully, the anger of the the few will overcome the apathy of the many.
This actually made me feel good. Thank you 😊😊💜
I'm a visual based learner. I never thought I could have this explained to me in such vivid detail but you've done it. Thank you!
I love to listen to Russell Brand He makes so much sense lol. God bless you
😄
Laziness has been credited for some great inventions.
The “Lazy” sit around and try and think of new ways to do something that doesn’t take as much effort.
The non-lazy don’t even think about it and just continue to do the same chore over and over again.
Sitting and meditating is different than sitting and watching advertisement delivery shows.
Your energy is so much better now then here in this one from three years. You seem happy and energised now. I don't know if it's the meditation or the sense of purpose that comes from being a parent and a podcaster on serious social issues, but dude, I want whatever you're doing.
Thank you I needed to hear this today xxx
In bed, just ate a chocolate bunny. Day complete.
Best reply yet :))
Too much work Paddy, i just watch ceiling. Day complete
I rolled over, I accomplished much. I'd take some of that Choco bunny tho'
Bless you!
Nice..
Great upload Russell. But boy am I beat after watching this. Back to bed it is!
Get some rest! A little late I know, but I enjoy replying to people.
Lol
Clearly a workaholic bit of a tip watch it in bed mate now take it easy
ha
I'm really enjoying your videos. Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us.
Spot on. Thanks Russell for making these videos
“ It’s hard to get up at 7” 😂😂🤣🤣🤣
depends on when you go to bed ;-)
DELILAH NINA its true
@@freakbass its not guaranteed to be easier iv still definitely struggled to get up in the morning after going to bed early sometimes it makes no difference, I blame clinical depression and cocaine, just kidding.. But maybe sometimes
DELILAH NINA I wake up at 5am everyday. You just kind of get used to it, it’s the boredom I can’t stand lol
KALEIDO jess damn i wish i had your work ethic. I be in bed till 11 am fam
that was the most convincing "subscribe and hit the bell" speech I've heard from any video on this platform probs cos its straight up
I really needed to hear this today, may God continue to bless you brother.
You crack me up! At the same time extremely insightful. I really enjoy your thought process and how you articulate those thoughts. Quite brilliant!
"Comparison is the theif of joy" if, after honest reflection, you truly feel you have the balance of life right, then you probably do. Keep up the good work and occasional lazy day.
Dammit so confusing. I really clicked with that guys comment that said that being lazy is a side-affect of not having a purpose and I just need to find a purpose but then I read yours which says its okay to be lazy just don't compare yourself. There's so much self help information I don't know which to listen to!
@@neontiger32 remember, I said 'occasional lazy day'. The other person is right, we all need a purpose in life.
Russel Brand asked me so nicely to hit the bell, now I have to hit the bell.
Thanks...
Excellent content.
This was so great and inspiring
When we are lazy we are in a routine state of comfort, laziness is determined by you doing more than your routine. Constantly pushing your life experiences beyond your routine.
Thank you for your insight, perception teaches us each day apparently. When sampled, action speaks loudest as though somehow coherent when shared. This you’d suppose the ideal so sought when illustrating. Just living, as if sought, a plan you see. But as ever an acknowledgement of thought so thought as understood when written.
I agree to some extent. Discomfort and pressure can push us, for better or worse, to change. However there could be a multitude of reasons for not coming out of "laziness" besides comfort. Fear of rejection, of failure, of unbearable difficulty, that you are not good enough etc
Why does this make so much more sense coming from him, rather than some guru who always flexing on you about his or her's happiness.
Gurus always make me suspect it's a charade (especially those internet gurus walking past "their" house on the beach yet never film inside) but with Russ we know that what we see is what we get.
@@iqi616 I still do feel that life is only something each person individually can live no matter how much good advice you get from gurus.
Couldn’t put it together any better! Thank You!
Russell you really teach so well. I'm a college professor and I would happily attend your lectures! You're refreshing and brilliant Mate!!
proffessor of what left wing idolegy brand is ptoffessor of fairy land join 2gether and be the new mork and mindy
Whaaaat in the wild wild f*** 🧐 Subscribed
Everybody always has to be doing something. Please. The world is full of lunatics trying to achieve something. Sometimes just being is okay!!
who knows, you might be right, but your laziness won't be enjoyed if you don't have anything to be enjoyed with. Your brain needs stimulation, you need food, water, electricity, internet etc.. if you want these things, you can't be lazy
Thanks for this, I'm dealing with my laziness, a wise man said something like ' liberty will come when we face up to and tackle all the things we know we should be doing and have been avoiding'
Very cool thank you MR Russell Brand this will help me as do your other videos
This guys is going to look like Gandalf in 20 years
Make that 5.
I see Sauron
You shut your dirty little mouth 😂
More like Saruman, but a good Saruman.
@@rowiecapellen2923 hahahaha
I disagree Russell, my cat used to communicate its potential connection to a divine frequency all the time - by giving me cuddles.
I wonder what it was after?
I love you bro. Keep making these videos!
Wow this really helped! Thank you!!
He speaks the way I’d write an essay✍️😅
I'd believe anything from a beard that long. Lots of wisdom nuggets captured in that hair.
Blackbeard
i to have witnessed the magic of the beard.
Love your video. Thank you.
I absolutely love this. I bought one of your books a year or so ago. It’s great and your great.
