As Tony Robbins said, people are not lazy. They simply have goals that do not inspire them.

That is really the central thing that you have to find. You've got to find that thing

in your life that makes you feel most alive. When you have that, you're going to have

and find that next gear and get to that next level and really become the person that you were

meant to become, but first it all starts with finding that thing, a being honest about the things

and the people in your life that take and to build a life from the ground up that gives, that gives

you the energy, that gives you a vision of not who you are but who you can become, that gives you
