Motivation Vs Discipline

Do you know the difference between discipline and motivation? Discipline is about what we do, while motivation is about why we do it. Motivation is a feeling of excitement or enthusiasm for something. Discipline is a system that helps us to maintain focus on our goals.

Discipline is about self-control. Motivation is about getting yourself to do something. Discipline comes from within and it can be developed through practice, while motivation comes from external factors, such as praise or rewards.

Motivation is often confused with discipline. To be motivated is to want to do something, whereas discipline is the act of doing it (or the reason behind why one does it). Discipline has nothing to do with wanting, but everything to do with following through. Discipline is a state of being whereas motivation is a state of mind. The difference between discipline and motivation is important to understand, because if you have the wrong one, you can end up in all kinds of trouble. One issue that often comes up with people is that they focus on their motivation but not the discipline needed to actually do it. This can lead to all sorts of problems because there's a constant state of wanting without any work

Motivation and discipline are two words that are often used interchangeably but they have different meanings.

In order to avoid confusion, it is important to note the following:

  1. Motivation is the process of getting someone to do something. It is a reason or reasons that causes a person to act in a certain way. For example, the motivation for someone to exercise could be their desire for health and fitness.

  2. Discipline is the practice of training oneself or others so as to develop self-control and mental toughness. For example, one might discipline themselves by not eating unhealthy foods so they can maintain their weight or by doing exercises every day in order to build up their muscle mass.

  3. Discipline is the ability to stay focused on a task even if you don't feel like doing it.

  4. Motivation can be temporary, but discipline lasts forever.

  5. Discipline allows us to accomplish anything we set our mind to, while motivation only helps get us started.

  6. Motivation can come from outside sources like loved ones or friends, but discipline has to come from within ourselves first and foremost.


Getting disciplined can be a difficult task. There are many ways to get disciplined but not all of them work for everybody.

Some people swear by their morning routine while others rely on the support of friends and family. Everyone is different, so you need to find that one thing that will work for you.

The most important thing is to find what works for you and what motivates you to get on track every day.
