We all know the feeling—one day you’re fired up to hit the gym or crush a goal. That’s motivation—the spark that gets you started, fueled by emotion. The problem? It fades fast. One day you’re excited, the next, not so much.
That’s where discipline comes in.
Discipline is the habit of showing up, no matter how you feel. It’s doing the work even when motivation is gone. While motivation is temporary, discipline builds consistency and keeps you on track.
In short: Motivation gets you started. Discipline keeps you going.
