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

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

Discipline has you reaching for the salad instead of the candy
