Discipline is a form of a noun and a verb while motivation is a form of noun.

Motivation is defined as the reason or reasons one has for acting or behaving in a particular way. As well as the general desire or willingness of someone to do something.

That being said, motivation is a feeling but discipline is doing what must be done.

I can be motivated to let’s use my weight loss journey as an example. I can be motivated to lose weight but if I don’t have the discipline to actually cut out the sweets and stick to a workout regimen, then I won’t lose the weight.

In all honesty, you will always find time to do what you value. If you value to lose weight then you will exercise discipline to achieve that goal.

Therefore the answer to becoming discipline is to be honest about what you value.

For the past few months, I’ve been motivated to start up my YouTube channel again but I was discouraged and didn’t want to start from scratch. I made excuses after excuses and then something clicked inside of me where I just stopped with the excuses and started the new channel. I decided that I will not let my fear limit me and to become disciplined in what I want.

With discipline comes consistency. Consistency is key in being able to show up for yourself because no one can show up for you like YOU! Don’t let your fear of visibility limit you from achieving your goals.
