Motivation & Organizing Your Mind
Many people misunderstand motivation, thinking it is a constant and permanent fix. However, motivation is not always present, and one must learn to perform without it. To be successful, one needs to train their mind well beyond motivation and learn to be their best self even when least motivated. Discipline is important, but it requires a clear headspace. Without organizing and compartmentalizing one's mind, discipline becomes inconsistent. To achieve this, self-work and reflection are necessary in order to organize the mind. When one's life is not organized, it becomes difficult to find the necessary components for discipline and other qualities. Therefore, it is crucial to have a clear and organized mind, which can be achieved through practices like meditation.
