What comes to your mind when you read this?
Did your mind rush back & remind you of all the times it was difficult to keep up with your goals, activities & routine. Was it hard to understand what was the reason for not following up on a routine?
The solution to this is to Stop looking for Motivation & Start inculcating Self-Discipline in life.
Motivation is: ‘ Why to do’.
Discipline is: ‘ What to do’.
Discipline is based on thinking & reason to create action – Motivation is more from emotion. It is a trick that our mind plays. Whereas, Discipline is a practice. Discipline is not dependent on how we are feeling.
According to Stephen Covey, “Only the disciplined are truly free. The undisciplined are slaves to moods, appetites & passions.”
Motivation can be channelized & used to help us stay Disciplined.
Life would become so undemanding & simple if we begin using Discipline as our performance meter & not wait for the stream of Motivation, we all keep looking for!
Stop Looking for Motivation. Use Discipline as your weapon to achieve your goals.
