Motivation comes and goes. Discipline sticks with you. And, knowing that the goal or “the thing” you want to achieve is going to be hard sets you up for a better chance of success when you’ve instilled those qualities like discipline & commitment.
If we only ever did things when we felt like it, we wouldn’t get much done, this is why we shouldn’t rely on motivation. When things are fresh and new, it’s exciting, but that excitement quickly declines when you’re hit with the reality of the time, effort and sacrifice needed to achieve anything meaningful.
Build discipline and daily habits that set you up forever.
