Discipline vs Motivation

Impossible is nothing!
I'm a inspiration driven person and I've notice that inspiration usually finds me already working, hence like or not our starting point is discipline.

Lovely post for a an open public discussion! ;-)

My favorite quote.
"Just do it"
since like you said, motivating and writing and planning is awesome, but sometimes we just have to do it. Well actually, this is probably the most important thing and the first thing we should do.
Just like I have mentioned this quote in my previous post

"Knowledge is a treasure, but practice is the key to it"

We might have all the knowledge and motivation, but if we don't step out and use it, it is really useless.
Awesome post my friend.

Great point and so well said! I like that quote and it really comes down to what we do with our knowledge and abilities and how we use them.

Thank you for this amazing comment, my friend! <3

This is very true! I would like to add though, that I have tried several times to "discipline myself" but it has never worked. The best method I have found is actually to not really focus so much on the actual work, but rather focus on the process. So when I wake up in the morning, I try to avoid focusing on the work I have planned for that day. Instead I focus on sticking to my morning routine, do meditation, yoga and such more spiritual things. I have found that when I do that, the work has a tendency to just flow, much more than when I tell myself to put the work before the other things. Does that make sense and have anyone else noticed the same thing?

Thank you so much for sharing your experience!

I am also focusing on my morning routine, at the moment my main focus is having breakfast before coffee and writing in my gratitude journal every morning. I kind of failed adding meditation and yoga to my morning routine but I'll work on that next.

It's great to hear that having a mindful morning routine makes the work flow and easier to deal with. Thank you once again for this comment, I always love to hear other people's experience. :)

I am not self disciplined too. But it is never too late to start to have it, right?

I believe that is never too late. Maybe it won't be that easy but it definitely can be done. :))
