People are not lazy. They simply have impotent goals - that is, goals that do not inspire them. — Tony Robbins

People are not lazy. They simply have impotent goals - that is, goals that do not inspire them.

Author: Tony Robbins

Insight: We blame ourselves for procrastination, but the real culprit is often a goal that doesn't actually excite us—something we think we should want rather than genuinely do. That nagging guilt about the gym membership you never use? Probably means your real goal isn't fitness; it's something else entirely. Honesty about what actually fires you up beats willpower every time.
