Yes this is an active sentence because it tells us who did the action(run). Passive sentences don't usually tell us who did the action(verb).
Leonardo da vinci painted The Mona Lisa in the 16th century.

No, the sentence is not written in passive voice. It is written in active voice. The subject "you" is performing the action of setting goals and working hard to succeed.
The form of passive verb phrases is - be + past participle.The past participle of wake is woken. So some examples of passive verbs phrases are:is woken, are woken, are being woken.We are wokenat 6:am every morning. - passive sentence.Jack wakes us at 6:00am every morning. - active sentence
Is is a present tense singular be verb.A verb by itself cannot be passive. The passive is formed this way:be verb + past participle.Is can be used to make a passive verb phrase.A sample is taken every hour. - is taken = be verb + past participle
Any time the verb is a form of "to be", it is passive voice. The passive verbs include: is, are, were, be, being, been, have, had Additionally, one clue to passive sentences is when the verb is followed by "by". " Example: The accidents are witnessed by other motorists every day." Sometimes, passive sentences are perfectly okay to use when the "actor" (who is doing the action) is unimportant. But too many passive sentences make reading boring, and passive makes longer sentences. Example, passive Every day, accidents are witnessed by other motorists. Records of accidents are kept by local police departments and statistics are compiled by State agencies and by insurance companies. As determined by authorities, most accidents are caused by people who are inattentive or distracted. Example, active. Other motorists witness accidents every day. Local police departments keep records, which State agencies and insurance companies use to create statistics. These authorities determined that inattentive or distracted drivers cause the most accidents. Note that the both examples say the same thing but the noun is followed by an active verb (witness; keep; use; determined). Also note that the passive example is longer than the active example. The active example uses fewer words, is easier to read, and still makes the same points.

A personality temperament can be depicted as a point on a Cartesian coordinate plane (i.e. measured along two perpendicular axes): passive/active and logical/emotional. So any individual temperament will show up as a point on a disc that's divided in to 4 quadrants. The colloquial names of the quadrants are: king/queen = passive-logical warrior = active-logical magician = active-emotional lover = passive-emotional The ideal is to be centered as close to the origin as possible.
