    discipline beats motivation. make it just something you do, not something to be considered and decided.

    you don’t need a pep talk for every little thing.

      Not to fully disagree here, because sometimes we all need to do things we don’t want, but I don’t want to live a life where everyday requires unyielding discipline just to get up.

      Maybe you’re talking more about habits, than forcing yourself to live through another awful day.

        I agree wholeheartedly. If you know how to build habits, habits can be fun and they can be tied to living a meaningful life! Tiny Habits, the book and framework, changed my life for the better.

        I’m not who you asked, but for me it’s that I have a person and several animals who depend on me. I’d never succeed if I had to do it for myself.
