Sense of urgency

I am constantly wondering how it is that most people seem to muddel through life armed with apathy in one hand and an excuse in the other. Somehow they manage to make it through, and one of the most popular shield-phrases used by this vast majority is "don't take it so seriously" or "give me a break" ... when the reality is that they don't take it seriously enough and give themselves enough of a break to cover half a dozen people ... I am so sad that effort is so difficult for people to muster. The only thing that truly stops a person from accomplishing anything in life is the inability to exert the proper effort.

As usual there is the issue of balance and caution must be used so overcorrection doesn't occur ... and saying  enough and pushing just enough to help those that need and deserve it is a worthy task. Unfortunately, if it is rejected, you are left to retreat and allow them to suffer the enevitable conclusion of their chosen actions.
