I AM HUNGRY!
We spend an equal amount of time in both cases. Working towards balance, equanimity, and strength or misery, pity, and excuses. What makes the first look harder is the already adopted habits, triggers, and subconscious bullshit that one holds and executes with perfection.
The trick is in what one emphasizes. In order to get out of laziness and complacency and move towards clarity and awareness all that has to be done is take the first step to get out of your comfort zone. It doesn't happen all at once. One takes small steps one after the other and persists and repeats and repeats until new habits are formed. New ways of thinking bring new ways of feeling which in turn brings new ways of experiencing your being.
*** motivation it's not what's needed one needs drive, hunger. Motivation comes and goes drive takes root in the core and pushes the *** out of you until it breaks through and you make the change. Drive settles in when you consciously decide that this is it when you say to yourself "*** this **** I'm not taking this anymore!". Then comes the moment when you realize you have to change, when you realize that the pain and discomfort of being the same is more than the pain you will endure while changing and what that is worth.
