Should You Be Disciplined, or Motivated?

We evidently require something to motivate us, a compelling reason to engage in especially arduous tasks and endeavours. Motivators, incentives, or drives serve this important function but what happens when they fail? What happens when we lose sight of our motivators and forget during periods of struggle why we began in the first place? Discipline fills in the gaps of motivations when they prove to be insufficient on their own and today's discussion examines this relationship. Discipline and motivation are both necessary for success, but how much of either is sufficient? Further, when should you rely more heavily on one or the other?

I also write to music. It is a wonderful motivator.

Indeed, it certainly provides motivation since its melodies and lyrics can be immensely inspiring in their own right.

I agree with holding balance between discipline and motivation. These two often prompt an individual to act upon their will, I do wonder if laziness or apathy are present in a person to offset the noble traits should or when they become overly extreme (ie, overtraining, overworking). Imo, my own laziness is why I put in the hard work where knowing labor brings about future comforts rewarding in of itself. Some may be consumed by their own ambition and overindulge (or exhuast) themselves to the breaking point.

Indeed, it is counterproductive in the long term to operate on the principle of "all work and no play." There has to be some rest and leisure, not only to prevent burnout but also to ensure that you enjoy the fruits of your labour.
