Discipline Over Motivation

Each year as January winds downs people start abandoning their New Year’s resolutions.

If you’re one of the few who has continued to stick it out with yours, congratulations, keep it up!

Here is a simple concept that will help you keep going when motivation is starting to dwindle. Which, of course it will run out eventually.

You don’t need motivation. It’s finicky and unreliable.

Instead focus on building discipline. Discipline is what gets you do to stuff when you don’t want to. It checks the box when motivation is no where to be found.

There’s this funny thing about discipline too. It eventually creates motivation for you. After you get some reps in, of getting yourself to do the thing that is good for you but you’re not motivated to do, you’ll feel better and become motivated once again.

Don’t want for more motivation, it isn’t coming. Create your own through discipline.
