“You must motivate strongly, because motivation has power.”

              - Lama Thubten Yeshe

This is like moving swiftly in the direction of safety, peace, wisdom, well-being, compassion, strength, true wealth, harmony and fulfillment.

Usually we do the opposite - we are lazy when it comes to doing something worthwhile and then, full of energy, creativity and determination when it comes to creating non-virtue.

Shantideva said, “Although wishing to be rid of misery, they run towards misery itself.  Although wishing to have happiness, like an enemy they ignorantly destroy it.”

This wrong view, and this particular form of laziness is what has to be countered and opposed by producing a strong motivation and living it through.
