And when I ask about life at home, people say that they struggle with their finance and health.

Do you?

The national data suggests that chronic diseases such as diabetes and heart disease are on the rise.

The median American family has only beat over $5,000 in savings, barely enough to pay next month's rent.

Did America lose its motivation?

Well, the answer is no.

Taranath, you cannot lose your motivation because you never owned it in the first place.

Motivation, and that shouldn't surprise you, isn't your car key or wallet.

So what is it?

Well, motivation is not about being strong, it's about being wise.

Let me explain.

You may think of motivation as a muscle, thinking some people have strong motivation muscles, others are weak, but this is not a good metaphor.

Motivation is knowledge.

You learn how to be motivated.

And so today, I would like to help each of you in America

Become wiser so that you are more motivated and hence better able to achieve your goals, your dreams, your aspirations.

And given what the world has been throwing at you, that might be a good time to refresh your knowledge.

To be motivated, you either change the situation or the way you think about the situation.

This is the science in one sentence.

You change the circumstances or the way you think about the circumstances.
