You’re Not Lazy You’re Lost / Aristóteles

You keep postponing things. You struggle to start. And little by little, you begin to believe you’re lazy. But what if that’s not the truth? In this video, we explore why procrastination and lack of motivation are often not signs of laziness — but signs of disconnection from purpose. Drawing from the ideas of the Greek philosopher Aristotle, we look at how direction, values, and meaning shape human action. Aristotle believed that every action points toward an end — a purpose he called telos. When that direction is missing, effort collapses, energy fades, and even simple tasks begin to feel heavy. This is not a productivity video. It’s a reflection on why motivation disappears when life loses direction. In this video, you’ll reflect on: Why procrastination is often misunderstood The difference between laziness and lack of purpose How Aristotle understood motivation and direction Why clarity creates energy How aligning actions with values restores momentum Modern life tells us what to do, but rarely invites us to ask why we are doing it. When that question goes unanswered, the mind resists action — not out of weakness, but out of confusion. If you’ve been feeling stuck, unmotivated, or disappointed with yourself, this video may offer a different perspective. Sometimes, what looks like laziness is simply a mind asking for meaning.
