So true! There’s nothing like that feeling of motivation. It’s a great high!

It does fade rather quickly, though. Only discipline can sustain the actions that first carried that motivation.

That’s why the purpose of the discipline has to be strong. Otherwise, why do it.

Agree with this so much! Personally for me, reducing friction has been the most impactful to drive discipline and the habits I'm trying to establish.

I have been studying productivity, growth mindset, etc. for a long time, and I don't recall seeing anyone make this important distinction. Thank you! Discipline has worked wonders for me--particularly in terms of my health and productivity. I invite you and others to visit my Mind Inclined Substack, which features, among other things, a podcast I call "Ring the Bell: A Podcast for a Better You and a Better World."

Discipline is about showing up consistently, whether you feel like it or not

Motivation is a feeling; by its nature, emotions fade away quickly.

Great post 👍
