And so many kids are having trouble staying motivated, and adults for that matter.

How do we use our understanding of our kids and even ourselves to
Increase motivation, but really more than just motivation, but our love of life and a way of living in the world that's more in line with who we are and who we see ourselves to be.

Well, laziness is more like an adjective.
It's a way of describing somebody's behavior, but it really doesn't mean much.
I mean, we can all feel lazy when we're like, oh, I'm tired.
It's really, it's not a very good term to think about when we're thinking about kids because most kids are not lazy.
It's really more about an issue of motivation, and motivation is the why.
Or it's the reason we do the things that we do.
So motivation can have a lot of different reasons.
