Passion with out discipline is worthless. Yes I said it and I will stand on it but before I get deep into the post for today I saw the question on my reel today say what pain do you want for your life and what are you willing to struggle for and anything what while is going to cost you and I some or great pain eventually.... And the fact that we all experience this and we don't take note is very intriguing.
I will say we waste our time thinking about passion and ways we want to go about it and forget how discipline is the king to achieving every thought and ambition in life.
Nothing come a while without it discomfort and stress meaning for any ambition to be achieved, disciple and consistency take majority of the role.
Most of the time, I realized we do thing when we are motivated and we forget to realize motivation is a feeling that came and whether it there or not, motivation will never alway start on our thought but discipline is infinitely more important. So no matter how you feel about it... Get up and do what you are supposed to do and don't do it when you feel you are supposed to do it but do it when you are meant to do and achieve it.. that is discipline

The truth of the matter is that motivation and passion get your started but the secret ingredient to achieving Optimus level of achievement is the discipline and consistency that keep you going, motivation is the spark that ignite the fire but your discipline keeps you driven.
Lastly.. I discovered based on my personal thinking and overview that I get motivated to do anything I want at my leisure time and it has affected my way of priotizing my schedules and what I have been passionate about has alway being what I wanted for myself and not what will keep me going.... But recently have I discovered that discipline and consistency are trait you portray either you like it or not, whether you are in the best position to do it or you leaving your comfort zone to achieve.
In the end, passion alone is fleeting, and motivation is unreliable. The true key to success lies in discipline and consistency. It’s easy to start when you feel inspired, but real progress happens when you push forward even when the excitement fades. Every worthwhile goal comes with discomfort and struggle, but those who stay disciplined will always outlast those who rely on passion alone. So, don’t wait for the perfect moment take action, stay committed, and let discipline be the force that carries you to success.
Ultimately, this journey won't alway be rosey and fun because of the up and down but let your consistency take you to where you want to be . I'd love to hear from you: what does self-growth mean to you? Please share your thoughts in the comments below. Thank you!
