I want to do the minimum!

I want to do the minimum!  Do you ever feel that way?  You want to do as little as possible to see results?  I feel that way sometimes.  I just want to survive to face another day.  Because when I look around I see in the mirror someone who is obese and it's overwhelming.  I look around my living room at something that is complete chaos.  Mess everywhere.  I look at my finances and sometimes it feels there is no possible way of getting out of debt in this decade.  It takes every ounce of energy to convince myself to do SOMEthing.  But, I must do something.  And more than the minimum.  Because if I only do the minimum, I will only see minimal results.  I will never rise above these ashes and soar if I only do the minimum.  I will never get ahead.  I need to muster up the motivation to do as much as I possibly can, within good reason, to do well and do my best, not my minimum.  This passage came to mind from the Bible:

Isaiah 40:28-31 (NIV)

28 Do you not know?
    Have you not heard?
The Lord is the everlasting God,
    the Creator of the ends of the earth.
He will not grow tired or weary,
    and his understanding no one can fathom.
29 He gives strength to the weary
    and increases the power of the weak.
30 Even youths grow tired and weary,
    and young men stumble and fall;
31 but those who hope in the Lord
    will renew their strength.
They will soar on wings like eagles;
    they will run and not grow weary,
    they will walk and not be faint.
