If you’re bored with life - you don’t get up every morning with a burning desire to do things - you don’t have enough goals.

Holtz links boredom not to a lack of entertainment but to a lack of direction. The “burning desire” to get up and act is presented as a symptom of purposeful living, and goals are framed as the practical mechanism that generates that purpose. In this view, goals supply structure (what to do next), motivation (why it matters), and momentum (a reason to begin each day). The quote reflects a coaching ethos: energy and engagement are cultivated through clear aims and continual striving, not passively awaited. It also implies personal responsibility—if life feels flat, the remedy is to set and pursue meaningful objectives.
