Thats why you cannot rely on motivation to power you through your activities.

Its better to rely on discipline, on consistency, on routine.

I’m Slowly Learning Determination Matters More Than Motivation

It might be another mistake.

It wont always lead you down the road you want to walk.

You should strive to get your goals accomplished, even if youre not in the mood.

You should train yourself to act productive even when you dontwantto be productive.

Otherwise, youre never going to inch closer to your dreams.

Youre going to remain rooted in the same exact spot forever.

There are going to be days when you wish you could lounge around and do nothing.

But that doesnt always mean its a good idea.

That doesnt always mean you should cross every plan off your schedule and give into temptation.

There are definitely times when you should let yourself rest and recharge.

Youll work your goals into your routine.

Youll keep at them every single day, whether youre in the mood or not.

Youre going to have to stay disciplined, even when you cannot summon up an ounce of motivation.
