How do you define and excuse? I had a suspected cardiac condition and therefore had to stop playing basketball. To the outside, the weight gain and apathy made me appear lazy because I did not want to put my medical problems out there. Sometimes an 'excuse' is a valid reason not to do something.

[@AK-hn5gq]

@@mediacenterman8583 Its all within reason my man/woman. Those people would never look at a cardiac condition as an excuse in your scenario, reasonable people would say "cardiac condition, I wouldn't be playing either!". I think OPs point is that nobody should feel victims of their circumstance, "excuses" definitely have their validity, if a hike isn't in the cards for your heart, then that is off the table. But don't let the feeling of being a victim of a cardiac condition to effect your relationship with mom, dad, daughter, son, girlfriend, boyfriend, wife, husband or general life outlook. You're valued and have a place in this world.

@mediacenter man, well here is what a NOT excuse is: I don’t have 2/3 of my digestive system, diagnosed with Lupus SER, chronic Crohn’s disease and extreme dump syndrome. Absolutely zero support from family, friends or government. Was homeless 8 years ago. Today, I live where I want, do what I want when I want. I love myself and accept the many pains that I experience every single hour of the day. Yet, I am a self sustaining individual that loves the fact that with only being able to actually work for 3 to 4 hours a day, I do more and earn more than many people with a head full of a self pity party. Shut up and do, there is absolutely a I can’t, that is on you.

This is a great perspective that cpuld also mirror/explains why Tate does not believe in depression in a way the term is being abused, misconstrued, and manipulated to one's advantage or comfort zone. One could disregard the reality and sit in a comfy zone while labelling oneself as incapable/depressed, and answers to no one. But 10yrs, 20yrs, 30yrs down the road, one has to answer to one's own biological self.

I’m all for having an accountability partner to keep one on their toes and not be lazy, however you can’t expect to always have someone who can be there to call you out. You need to be able to call yourself out and be the voice of reason in your own mind first when you must face those harder days.

[@marioarroyo9712]

I haven’t seen the movie but that movie sounds like what happened to my father when he died in 2018. He died to liver failure since he was a heavy drinker. I love my dad and loved him a lot while he was here. I needed to get therapy to cope with the fact that I felt he gave up on his family and kids. Unfortunately he must’ve had demons that he just didn’t know how to defeat. And I miss and love him, yet, I am inspired by it. Because I choose to not be that father. I have been sober, I stopped drinking, I’m getting healthy, I’m choosing better relationships, I have a strong connection with my son, I’m present in his life and because I know what effect my dad dying at 44 years old had on me, so I made the choice to be the best example possible for my son. So I guess I learned “what not to do” from my father. He was a weak man that didn’t know how to defeat his demons. That won’t be me. So maybe this movie will inspire people to do the opposite.

You will stay where you are until the pain of staying is greater than the pain of moving on. Pain is a valuable asset if viewed in a way that propels you in a direction that is in the better interest of all parties concerned. Wallowing is never an ingredient to success and for many becomes a crutch that will limit opportunities and options. Your options are only limited by your perceptions. Roll through the pain and rocket towards the success that every one can grasp.

The Whale reminds me of the movie “The Wrestler”. The acting was incredible. Mickey Rourke won an Oscar for his portrayal of a aging, washed up wrestling showman who tries to repair his life and his relationship with his daughter, but ultimately relapses back into the solemn lifestyle that he was trying move away from. The ending is very similar, sad and leaving you feeling empty. If one can identify themselves with these characters, it will make you think about what you can do with your own life so that you don’t end up like them. It’s still a great movie.

What some people perceive as laziness can really be just a person's contentedness. It can also be depression as well, and I would say that is the case more often than not. Breaking that state of mind as well requires a spark or reminder of one's purpose, and relearning thankfulness and gratitude.

I agree with Pat. But there are people out there that want to change but just can't. They aren't lazy, they always come to work on time and are the hardest workers on the job site. But they lack prudence and guidance and therefore continuously fail in life over and over again. All of their goals and their dreams never come to fruition. And at the end of the day, they tried really hard...but nothing materialized for them.

It's perfect that The Whale DOESN'T have a storybook ending, a nice happy outcome where he drops the weight and walks off into the sunset with his reconciled daughter. That's the point! He wasn't willing to change, his life ended and his daughter was devastated. Those things right there can be major motivators to get viewers to turn their lives around because you're gonna be screwed if you don't! It's the gut-punch, the bucket of ice water in the face. THAT'S the major takeaway from that ending.

[@cw6410]

I think there are different types of lazy, lazy because you are uninterested in something, and lazy because of depression (both kind of similar). I find alot of people can be lazy about certain things, but when its something they interested in they can and do put in the work.

The moral of the story is that you as the observer of the story will not repeat the mistake of the character - you should learn from mistakes of others. "Happy end" bullshit, is just "fast food" entertainment. Hard stories (those of old era writers - Balzac, Remarque, Hemingway, Tolstoy...) have actually value for your development because you can adjust your behavior.

[@jasonrhyland]

"Create opportunities where you're being held accountable..." This is something I used to FORCE myself to do often, where I'd tell myself that the more ppl I tell I am going to do X,Y,Z the more people I will let down if I don't do it. Definitely a very solid tactic at forcing action and very happy you just reminded me of it! And I most certainly believe laziness is something you create/choose to do.

I don't think the movie was meant to be a redemption story of him triumphing over his demons. I think it's a love story between a father and his daughter. While simultaneously a tragedy. It's relatable because most if not all of it can relate to a loved one who has let us down. Even though he died and failed himself dosent mean he loves his daughter any less. It also reminds us that someone who is flawed and may hurt us doesn't mean their love is any less genuine. She received her blessing in the end, but to do so, she had to forgive and come to peace with whom her father is both good and bad.

[@marian8910]

Hardest things I dealt with in 2022 and partially still continuing in 2023: 1: Adjusting to being a 1st time mom. Particularly learning to truly put someone else before myself and that the child trumps my wants and even my needs at times. I lived a pretty selfish life before I had a baby so it has been a big adjustment. 2. Having to prioritize important things over "relaxing" by watching mindless entertainment. For example if my baby is napping for 2 hours should I scroll through Instagram the whole time? Or should I clean up the house, go through my e-mails, exercise or do some other productive task? 3. Restarting our lives in another country. A few curve balls were thrown at us in this international move. Now we're trying to figure out how to stabilize our careers and finances over here. Objectively nothing on my list of 3 was that difficult if you compare it to the story in the video. Of course the worse thing that's ever happened to you is the worst thing that's ever happened to you. However, it is important to step back sometimes to gain some perspective and gratitude. The graphic was very useful. I think I'm definitely at the acceptance stage. And for some of these issues at the reason stage. I hope to resolve these issues and reach my goals this year!

I understand your point about the movie, but maybe it wasn’t meant to be inspirational but rather the emotional and physical consequences of not changing. It then can inspire that same change by being like “I would rather not live the life I saw in this movie” and make actionable changes.

[@seancsnm]

I don't know where I'm going in life, but I can say that I'm terrified of living a life of mediocrity. Life is so short, and wasting it is one of the most sickening tragedies I can imagine. I wish someone would come up to me and give me convincing direction that gives my life that feeling of meaning everyone wishes for, but until that day comes, I have to figure it out on my own, and do my best. I think that when this life is over, there will be an accounting for how we lived our lives. But even if there isn't, as far as I know, we only get one shot at life so we may as well do the best we can. Do what we truly want to do. Help make the world a better place. Love others. Bring some joy to the people around us.

[@yourcreativechaos]

I never realized how lazy I’ve become. This was painful to listen to. But, I MUST change. No more excuses. I’ve been my biggest problem, not the things I’ve been through. Thank you Pat. On “The Whale” - I haven’t seen it - but perhaps it is like reverse psychology. Watch what happens if you refuse to change. Look at the pain you inflict on others. I’m imagining an obese person watching the movie - I would think seeing the ending would actually motivate them.

[@daw162]

Not everyone wants to be a leader. I don't want to be a leader, and I don't want to be a follower. I want to be an individual. If you're an individual, you have to choose your own way - how much effort, on what, what's worthwhile, what's meaningful. When I hear people talk constantly about being a leader, it's usually an ego problem or a matter of greed. Leaders who aren't looking to get more out of the people they're leading than they put into them are rare, and "leaders" tend to believe information only goes one way. They will talk as if they learn from everyone, but they don't really hear anything. As for being lazy, of course you can control it - at least to a material extent.

In Hollywood, Charlie's death makes it art. That's why I rarely go to the theatre any more. I want to watch movies that inspire me.

I love this video, but on the contrary I think the bad ending of The Whale in the topic of being "lazy" is not to convince people to think this is acceptable. In my opinion it's a lesson that scares people in saying "I better not be this way, I need to shape up and rethink my life so I don't end up like this man "
