Motivation vs. Discipline (a thread)
If you struggle to put in the work towards that thing you want
If you keep falling off the wagon and losing your progress
You might think you& #39;re "unmotivated"
It& #39;s not a lack of motivation, it& #39;s a lack of discipline

Motivation is your desire to take an action
Do you want to become a healthier person?
Then you& #39;re motivated to take the actions needed to achieve that
For example, you& #39;re motivated to eat better and exercise more

Motivation alone isn& #39;t enough
You can be motivated but still make poor decisions
A motivating tweet, quote, or image may get you fired up
You go for a run or eat a salad
But that burst of motivation fades and you go back to making the same mistakes

You know you should be making better choices
You still make poor decisions

You call yourself "unmotivated"
But you& #39;re wrong...

You& #39;re not unmotivated
You& #39;re undisciplined
You can& #39;t succeed with high motivation and low discipline

Discipline has you making good decisions even when you don& #39;t feel like it
Discipline has you reaching for the salad instead of the candy
Discipline has you putting on your running shoes at 6:30am
Discipline has you saying "no" to another beer

High discipline keeps you going when motivation runs low
