It\u2019s easy to lose discipline. It\u2019s easy to stop showing up.<\/p>\n<p>Your motive is what gives your actions meaning. It\u2019s what reminds you why you started in the first place.<\/p>\n<p>And here\u2019s the truth: motivation won\u2019t show up every day. Some days you won\u2019t feel like doing the work. That\u2019s when you come back to your motive. That\u2019s when you remind yourself why this matters to you.<\/p>\n<p>It took me a while to find mine. It wasn\u2019t easy.

Discipline over motivation. Your motivation can be usually low or none, so the most important thing is to be determined to do what you planned, even if it doesn\u2019t make sense all the time. It is a part of realization of your biggest goal. Just think that you have tot do this always, no matter the circumstances.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Zane O.
