  Dot com. Welcome to the Daily Quote, the
• 0:06
  podcast designed to kick start your day in a positive way.
• 0:10
  I'm your host, Andrew McGivern. And let's dive into today's
• 0:13
  quote from motivational speaker and entrepreneur Tony Robbins,
• 0:18
  who once said people are not lazy, they simply have impotent
• 0:24
  goals. Impotent goals.
• 0:27
  Now that's a strong word, but it's accurate.
• 0:31
  Robbins is saying something controversial.
• 0:34
  Laziness isn't real. What we call laziness is
• 0:38
  actually a response to goals that don't inspire action.
• 0:43
  Think about it. Have you ever been lazy about
• 0:46
  something you truly cared about? About something that genuinely
• 0:51
  excited you about something meaningful?
• 0:56
  No, probably not. When the goal matters, you find
• 1:00
  the energy, you take time, you take action.
• 1:05
  But when the goal is weak, when it doesn't connect to anything
• 1:09
  you actually care about, you procrastinate, you avoid it, you
• 1:15
  lack motivation, and then you end up calling yourself lazy.
• 1:20
  But you're not lazy. You just have an impotent goal.
• 1:24
  It lacks power. It doesn't move you.
• 1:28
  An impotent goal sounds something like I should lose
• 1:32
  weight. I ought to start a business.
• 1:36
  I need to save money, should, ought, need.
• 1:40
  Those are obligation words, not inspiration words.
• 1:45
  A powerful goal sounds different.
• 1:48
  I want to have the energy to play with my grandkids.
• 1:53
  I'm building a business that solves a problem I'm obsessed
• 1:56
  with. I'm saving money to take my
• 1:59
  family on a trip we've dreamed about for years.
• 2:04
  Same activities, different goals, completely different
• 2:08
  emotional pull. Tony Robbins is telling us if
• 2:12
  you're not taking action, don't blame yourself.
• 2:16
  Look at your goal. Is it powerful enough to move
• 2:19
  you, or is it just something you think you should do?
• 2:24
  So here's the question. What goal are you calling
• 2:27
  yourself lazy about? And what would happen if you
• 2:31
  rewrote that goal to connect to something you actually care
• 2:36
  about? Because you're not lazy, you
• 2:39
  just need a goal powerful enough to move you.
• 2:43
  Make it powerful and watch yourself move.
• 2:48
  That's it for today. I'm Andrew McGivern, signing off
• 2:51
  for now, but I'll be back tomorrow.
