Generally, people who tend to work hard and be successful are the ones who follow Discipline.
Everyone usually says that I need motivation and mindset to do a specific task.
But when you think about it when you get motivated to do a specific task your working capacity will be less than 5-10 minutes.
The reason is that your brain is been working in a way that when you feel motivated by something it causes a small spark in you which makes you excited to do that task but it lasts for a short period.
Staying like this will not help you complete the task
So the only way to complete any task is to follow discipline over motivation
Here's why
- It gives us a growth mindset
- It quits procrastination
- Gets us closer to our goals quicker
- Makes us better at the task
- Task gets easier
Discipline is like a fire that keeps burning due to the consistent work that you do regularly and can get benefits from it.
Motivation is like a spark that does work like fire but for a shorter period which results in no benefits at all.
So how to stay disciplined
- Have a proper schedule for your task
- Show up regularly
- Stay focused and practice deep work
- Quit activities/task that causes distraction
- Work even though when you don't feel like doing it
By following these steps you will be able to stay disciplined and become a better person overall.
Remember Discipline + Consistency = Success
