Deep dives

The Power of Motivation and Discpline

Motivation is seen as a pull factor, an internal drive that fuels and drives high performers. On the other hand, discipline is seen as requiring a lot of push and often feels like a slog. While discipline can be useful in certain situations, relying solely on discipline can lead to burnout. Successful individuals are driven, obsessed, and deeply engaged in what they do. They are not simply slogging through but are motivated and passionate. It is important to find that internal drive and tap into it to achieve peak performance.
