I lean more towards discipline, as it ensures consistency and progress even on days when motivation wanes. Discipline builds habits that become second nature, paving the way for sustained success.

Discipline. If I relied on motivation... I would probably be dead. 😀
@busmark_w_nika Yeah! Motivation is great and all, but discipline really makes or breaks endeavors!

@busmark_w_nika I can tell! You are probably the most disciplined PHer on here, you don't miss a day!
@busmark_w_nika actually it works hand in hand. The book Atomic Habits gives you an idea on that. The key is consistency. If you form a habit of doing something consistently, you tend to find motivation in it.
You’d dread going to gym when starting out but after going at it consistently, you’d be more excited to go.
This is the motivation that you build through discipline, and it’s very powerful if you hack this.

@sreenington There's one quote by Anna Lee Waldo that I heard when I used to instruct yoga classes: Plant a thought, harvest an act,” they sang. “Plant an act, harvest a habit; plant a habit, harvest a character; plant a character, harvest a destiny.
There is something about that. We are built through habits :)

Both! Discipline grabs me from home and put me in the office, motivation let me do that everyday!
I value discipline more than motivation. Discipline keeps you going even when motivation fades.
@chrisliam Hey Chris! This is totally out of context, but your products looks cool! I'm excited to see it launch!

Staying focused and sticking to your goals are both really important, but discipline is even more necessary for achieving things in the long run. It means keeping at it, making progress regularly, and forming good habits that help you succeed over time.
Discipline is great but just to be a devils advocate here how can you keep doing something over and over if you don't have motivation to do that?

I think each has its own power at certain points of time.
Discipline for long term. Motivation for short.
I used to be a person of Motivation, but slowly becoming a discipline person and my findings are that:
1. Discipline becomes easier and easier as days go on
2. Discipline = more results = more motivation
✨ Btw! We're launching soon! Looking for all your supports (https://www.producthunt.com/prod...)
I think motivation is the kick, is what starts everything, but without discipline there is no motivation that can hold and thrive to success. I believe more in discipline.
@diogomaiacaetano well said! i guess discipline is like the lubricant, keeps ur car wheels spinning after the engine ignition of motivation
@yukioyama definitely! Obviously having discipline and keeping up with it is extremely difficult, but if you keep working with discipline on a consistent basis, everything you aspire to, is probably going to get much easier to get.
I think a combination of both is important. You need a fire to keep you going, but without a routine and solid habits, it's useless

@yukioyama Thanks Yuki!! We'll both support your launch as well.
Discipline is the key
It often takes a lot of discipline to keep your motivation at high levels. For high-pressure environments, it's essential to spend time shrugging off stress and negativity that have built up during the day.

Discipline forever!
Discipline, but for getting out of your own way, to facilitate motivation. If I recall, my album's name 'Idea Cog Reverse Desire' was based on a similar idea.
But not to be confused with striving. If one truly wants to know (the piece/s of knowledge that will make it easier to be motivated), then you're primed to discover what simple "discipline"* can redirect toward a place of flowing rather than striving.
- also relating to the growth mindset, where negative events start making you better rather than worse, as the practice begins with non-resistance, being wherever you are - And, crucially, not identifying with local/individual thoughts and actions/imperfection (i.e. being on the right road, relating to the long-term, rather than dwelling on the immediate past what is locally haunting)

More in Discipline less in motivation.
Launching soon!
I think I have a lot of motivation but discipline is still the same.
Like for example, My motivations are to have a nice big house, to be a sucessful person or whatsoever that will just satisfy our emotions and just end up expecting.
But discipline is like you need to practice yourself waking up early, Taking a shower early, Focus on yourself, have a determination and that is what you gonna do nothing else. For you to be strong and be ready to face challenges.
