āFuck motivation. Itās a fickle and unreliable little state that isnāt worth your time. Better to cultivate discipline than to rely on motivation. Force yourself to do things, to get out of bed, to go the gym, to work harder and smarter; force yourself to do stuff when you donāt feel like doing anything. Motivation is fleeting, and itās easy to rely on because it requires no concentrated effort to get. Motivation comes to you, you donāt even have to chase after it. Discipline is reliable; motivation is momentary. The real question isnāt how to keep yourself motivated, itās how to train yourself to work without it.ā
