Discipline Over Motivation: Finding Strength When You Feel Uninspired
When motivation fails you, your discipline kicks in.
Ever wondered how to keep going when your motivation runs dry? Preston Moore tackles this very question in Episode #80 of 'The High Cost of Anonymity'. Inspired by a message from Eric Thomas, the Hip Hop Preacher, Preston dives into the crucial role of discipline when motivation fades. Thomas's words, 'When motivation fails you, your discipline kicks in', resonate deeply as Preston reflects on his own journey through recovery and life.
He candidly shares how discipline was his anchor during the early years of sobriety, keeping him grounded in routine, gratitude, and service. But as time passed, complacency crept in, and the once-steady discipline began to wane. Preston opens up about the internal struggle of feeling tired of always doing the right thing and the silent rebellion that followed.
This episode isn't just about acknowledging these feelings; it's about finding a way back to discipline as a source of strength and stability. Preston emphasizes the importance of sharing your story, seeking support through counseling and therapy, and embracing spirituality to maintain emotional well-being. It's a heartfelt conversation that encourages listeners to see discipline not as a burden but as a reliable friend that steps in when motivation takes a backseat.
