There are two main sources in our lives that provoke us for any kinds of actions: motivation and discipline. Without any of these, we will hardly start doing something and it touches all the spheres of our lives. We go on sports when we start feeling pity about our form and it motivates to start training; we go on studying and learning new things to improve our knowledge and become more competing compared to others; etc.

The real trend of nowadays is searching for motivation. People are looking for some idols, motivating books, films and other things that will help them to provoke themselves for some kind of action. Searching for motivation seems much easier than growing the discipline inside ourselves and more often this factor is ignored. In the following article, we will discuss why the effect of discipline is way better than motivation and why should everyone have it to achieve any type of success.
<h2>What is the Difference</h2>
The notion of motivation supposes that one should become a special emotional and mind state to complete some action or achieve some goals. Such approach is completely wrong and non-effective. Just look how much motivation is around us, it turned into the whole industry. Professionals are giving seminars, writing books and make films; nevertheless, the number of lazy losers who are not able to start any changes in their lives did not become less.

Discipline, opposite to motivation, separates the action from mood, feelings, and other disturbing factors. First, you achieve the goal and the correct state of mind will be the prize for you, which in its turn will play the role of motivation for further successes. The result is just incredible.

In simpler words, you don't have to wait till becoming an Olympic champion to start training; you should first start and only after you will become the one.

If all your actions will be determined by emotional state and mood, you will have to wait for years till the correct one will appear. Waiting till its high time to start something is the dead end.

Life is complicated and very often we have to act and do some things that we really do not wish to do, but they will certainly lead us to the positive aftermaths. The ability to do such things without doubting, just because it is necessary for you and your goals, this is what is called a discipline.

You should learn how to divide desire from necessity and start doing not what you want, but what you need.
<h2>Belief in Motivation as Reason of Psychological Problems</h2>
In real life, we often have to do things that can be never treated with enthusiasm. Trying to find any type of motivation and enthusiasm about doing such things leads to self-harming and causes a kind of mental disorders. To understand such state of mind, just try to imagine someone saying «I love to feel these tables so much, that is what I was dreaming about through all my life. Thank you God for such a wonderful job». It sounds as a full nonsense, doesn't it? And this is what you are doing with your brains when trying to find motivation to the things that do not require it.

You should always take a practical view on the things! If you hate your work, do not force yourself to love it, yet try to realize why and for what you are doing it.

Another minus of motivation is its short terms. Even when you find it, it will not push you to the actions for too long. In a short period of time, you will have to find the new one or refresh it somehow.
<h2>Discipline as Non-Stop Source of Profit and Success</h2>
Productivity in any type of action does not require any special states of mind and mood. It only requires consistent and long-dated operations, and these are actually the things that discipline consists of.

Summing up we might say, that motivation is a try to find the correct state to start doing something, and discipline is the ability to do anything despite any factors.

Discipline is a constant system, even the lifestyle and motivation is just a moment, fleeting moment.

Acquire the necessary habits, begin from something trifle and bring them to your life. Afterward, they will form long ranges of actions that will lead to completed goals!
