After so long, what did Drive me crazy, and Un-Lazy?

Getting up from bed can be hard when you’re all stressed up. The same goes for the rest of the things to be done during the day.
There are so many problems we have in our lives, which we fix but, they all come back sometimes depending on the problem’s nature itself.

But here I’m specifically talking about the problem of ‘Laziness’.

See, there was a time when I used to think that I’m so lazy because I’m doing things that I don’t really wanna do. I was right about it. So I somehow tried to do stuff which I like.
Like, following my passion for several different things, for eg: Designing. But, soon I got into that lazy mode again, where I would just lay down and watch my phone, and wait for some miracles to happen in life.
I’d say, one miracle did happen. What was it? It was just that, I got much more free time where I could have focused on my craft and make something out of it. But, Did I succeed? No, I didn’t.
I spent nearly a year, not doing enough even when I was free to do whatever I wanted to do based on my Interests. I’d say, I was Lazy.
There was no ‘tricky’ solution for my laziness. I was ‘Unmotivated’. So, I couldn’t even follow those easy techniques to get Un-lazy.

There was a Key-component in all of the tips that one can use to get rid of their laziness and lost motivation. It was simple and straight, ‘Commitment’. Don’t get me wrong, whatever you do, first you have to make it in your mind that you’re gonna do it.
Every morning, it is you who has to get out of bed. Even if you have a giant horrifying alarm clock, you can still sleep your way out of it. No 2-minute rule or subconscious programming could work until you have that commitment to yourself about getting up.
My story is much simple, I just waited, and waited for something to happen, which would make me happier, more cheerful so that My life would suddenly change and I would ride on the path of joy in life’s world.
So, I waited and didn’t make any efforts to change things myself. I never found anything. I realized things, learned lessons but I didn’t rise.
It was recently when I finally (out of nowhere) got this sudden rush in my nerves, It was simple. It was just that I got so annoyed, so angry yet helpless and frustrated that I just exploded from inside. I don’t know how, but I felt alive, I felt conscious, and it was just because, In my mind, I just decided that it’s enough.. I’ll do the right thing no matter what. I didn’t use any trick or rule. It was a pure agreement between me and my mind, that If something needs to be done, It’s going to get done, no questions asked. It was that simple, straight, and certain. At last, there is only one thing that would get anyone going in life, and that is, ‘Be Conscious, Be in present, and keep doing what needs to be done’. Just ‘Be Conscious’ and ‘Do the Right thing’ no matter what.
