Discipline VS Motivation

in #motivation7 years ago

You do not need motivation,
you need discipline.

Motivation is widely spread in our society as being extremely important, and one of the main causes of failure when pursuing a goal or pursuing a desire.
Well it is not, it might have a slight importance, but it shouldn't affect your daily behavior.
Think about it this way, if you are waiting to be motivated to work for yourself, you would lose 90% of your time.

Do you want to start a business?

  • Gather information about the niche you want to join
    -Work overtime to get some investment money
    -Try small hustles like phone trading, buying antiques, offer your services regarding whatever.
    -Invest more time than you already are, if you want it to be successful

Do you want to get in shape?

-Stop eating junk-food.
-Stop eating sweets or drinking soda.
-Train at least 4 times a week, either gym, sports or running.Pick the most pleasurable one.
-If you find yourself doing nothing more than 30 minutes -1hour, go for a walk.
-Keep your caloric input to a minimum.

Do you want to start creating?

-Spend your extra time doing your thing, don't play games, watch YouTube videos, or read gossip news until the day is over.
-Spend less time online and go to local workshops or training.
-Get a professional trainer.
-Meet new "creators", be it writers, painters or songwriters, see their work and try improve your style or create your own.

Do you want to find a lover?

-Engage in more social events, you won't find a good quality "real life" lover if you aren't going out at least twice a week.
-If you want to get a lover online, that's also fine, but you wouldn't have the same experiences, and by default, long-distance relationships aren't the best ones.
-Before going outside be sure you are dressed well, have your hair styled and a trimmed beard or a clean shave.
-Have a high quality perfume, ask someone for recommendation if you aren't usually buying.
-Be sure you shower at least once a day, nobody wants a stinking partner.
-Ask friends if they know single, and decent people, if you don't have courage to approach somebody.
It sounds shallow to ask friends, but if you need experience, it could be the most suitable.

You got the point.
Now do you think they have something in common?
I'll tell you they do.
In all you need to invest time.Time is the most precious resource we have, and somehow we waste it on worthless things.
You don't need motivation to win over your time, you need discipline.
Because, let's be honest, unless you are extremely lucky, the only thing that can lift you up, is how much you work for what you really desire.
By discipline, i mean repeating the same tasks until you master them, no matter what those tasks are, doing chores daily, training, writing, painting.
If you are ignoring your tasks, and practice poor time management, or poor behavior, this behavior will most likely become a habit, and to avoid overcoming it, you'll say to yourself something like this:"I tried so much to get over it, but I'm just not motivated".

To avoid doing that try something like the three threes.
That is creating good habits step by step

You could start by creating a schedule, create it from scratch, don't look online for it, just pick what would you like for yourself.

For three days, just three days, try doing everything in that schedule.
If you manage to do it, congratulations, you can forward to the 3 weeks part.This is the most challenging of all, you finish this while keeping your schedule checked, you are sure to finish the three months challenge.
Failure is not a problem, if you fail doing it, just start over again, 3 days, then 3 weeks and so on.
FOCUS on the finish line and stop complaining, you've got the chance to become the best, don't waste it.

Become the person you urge to be and pave your way to success day by day!
