I believe maybe you could be missing a "traumatic" life experience. I know a guy who spent 2 years in a call center without finishing high school. Today he works as a full stack developer and even complete uni. He says when he feels lazy, he remembers his life in the call center and the motivation suddenly appears. I have something similar since I work with my Dad doing deliveries and we had to wake up at 4:30 am. When you get too comfortable, you don't have the need to do better. It is no surprise that (most) world-class people came from poor backgrounds and had to fight for everything they have today (not excluding other backgrounds). They now how terrible life can be and are not willing to pay the price of laziness, they know it first hand. TLDR: You need to have been in a really bad spot in your life, to know the true cost of laziness and not taking opportunities.
