Is Motivation Enough?

Being highly motivated can really provide a great boost when it's present but what about those days when you're not really feeling it? What do you do to stay engaged? Simply being motivated IS NOT ENOUGH! This is when it's imperative to have DISCIPLINE. Discipline greatly outweighs the fleeting nature of motivation. When you're disciplined you still handle your business on the days when you're struggling a bit.

How Do We Increase Our Discipline?

There is no magic bullet or secret sauce to it. It's simply about putting your head down and going to work. This is when your 'why' comes into play. Your reason(s) for doing what you set out to do must be deep enough to keep you on track. If not, you take the risk of remaining on the rollercoaster of life that wavers between the cycle of progression and regression. Starting with small disciplines may be your key to success. For example, you can commit to exercising 3 days per week for one hour. Set specific days/times to do this so it becomes a permanent part of life. After a couple of months you will notice a definite change in how you operate.
