Brief talk about the difference between Motivation and Discipline
Motivation can be your initial inspiration. When you lose your initial inspiration, it’s discipline that moves you forward.
Motivation operates on the assumption that a particular mood or emotional state is necessary to complete a task and often come from an external place. Relying on that to get you through difficult times can lead to plateaus and stagnation. Discipline, by contrast, separates outward actions from moods and feelings and that’s where you’ll see the most acceleration
in your movement.
Focus on building disciplined actions to meet your goals and continue your acceleration.
Stephen Covey, author of The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, said, “Only the disciplined are truly free. The undisciplined are slaves to moods, appetites, and passions.”
Don’t discount motivation, but don’t expect to see real results without Discipline. And don’t forget to count on your brothers to stay accountable.
