most importantly, I want you guys to understand
once you get to those good Phenomenal and poor
in all those extravagance of points in your life
I want you to please rely on the times where
it wasn't good when those bad times Was there
because the bad times they don't last forever
of course But they helped shaped you into the
position that you are in right now slash the
person that you are whatever case maybe Okay
Okay, so once again y 'all hey y 'all what's
up with poppin if you're new here welcome welcome
welcome and for the ones that are not new to
this but true to this hey y 'all what's up with
poppin happy happy Wednesday I hope you all are
enjoying this Wednesday so far and if not it
gets better throughout the weekday because Friday
is almost here and the weekend is almost here
as well so You know, it gets better. It gets
better. I hope you all are also enjoying this
amazing weather, y 'all. It feels so good outside.
Like, it even feels so good outside that my eyes
feel good. Like, my sight is okay. Like, I ain't
gotta worry about putting my glasses on or nothing.
I can put them on if I want to again. But, you
know, we cool. We cool right now. But other than
that, y 'all... I really hope that so far that
March has been doing good for you. I know we
are in the second week. We have two more weeks
in March. But other than that, y 'all, I really,
really hope that March is putting in some work
for you guys. Spring break is almost here. A
lot of people about to take vacations, things
of that nature. Like, we are almost soon to be
in the second quarter of the year as well. I
want to say second quarter begins, let's say,
April to June. And third quarter starts from
like... July to September, and then fourth quarter
we will say is from October to December. That
makes sense because on January through March
is first quarter, April through June will be
second quarter, July through September will make
third quarter, and October to December will make
fourth quarter. So that makes, you know, that
makes sense. Don't that make sense, y 'all? You
know, simple math, you know? I don't know, but
if you get it, you get it. If you don't, you
gon' get it soon. Other than that, y 'all, I
really hope that this month has been good for
you. So far, I would say the month of March for
me has been doing some good. It's been doing
some justice for me or whatever. I will say that
I've been seeing some things change within academics
and things of that nature. So I'm not, you know,
I'm not really complaining, you know, just staying
cool, calm and collected, enjoying this weather
and things of that nature. Also, too, I hope
you guys are out there honoring all the social
workers out there because we don't get a lot
of recognition in certain areas especially in
the areas that we help people within the population
where we concentrate on such as like you know
social work social workers within school -based

psychiatric psychiatric you know all those social

Okay, so with this being the 37th newsletter
our theme still stay strong becoming you your
next level within the month of March going back
to how Last month of February was focused on
soft life, you know, we are not losing ourselves
no more So as we you know, we're not losing ourselves
no more We're gaining the respect and honor that
we have been manifesting a prayer for for ourselves
So now we're in this space where we're becoming
us within this next level with everything going
on So we're still in quarter one still making
progress then by quarter three We should see
some results that we really have been wanting
to see where we have this long -term and short
-term goals as well as from fixed mindset to
now work on a growth mindset type of training
things of that nature okay so yes y 'all but
i really hope that you are you know feeling amazing
doing amazing feeling grounded and you're motivated
even when it makes when you may feel low still
finding time to do what's necessary for you because
you are in this next chapter of becoming you
but also finding the balance of what's for you
and what's not for you So as we continue our
March theme, Becoming You, The Next Level, this
week's reminder is simple but powerful. Your
next level is built through consistency. Motivation
may help you start, but discipline helps you
continue. Becoming requires showing up even when
the excitement fades. It's required choosing
progress over comfort and commitment over convinced.
Your future self is shaped by what you repeat
choose today. Okay? So for this week's challenge,
y 'all, I challenge you guys to choose one goal
or habit that you have been waiting to feel motivated
to start. Instead of waiting for that perfect
time where you feel like you in a good mood to
do it, I want you to do it right here, right
now. I want you to do it as soon as possible.
You know, stop pushing yourself and the things
you want to do on the back burner. If you have
been wanting to get that car, do the process
of doing the research for it. You save up enough
money for go ahead and do it my friend that house
talking to your shy getting that job promotion
going back to school Whatever it is do what's
necessary for you I want you guys to choose one
goal or habit whatever it is their hobby whatever
it is you want to do Do it don't wait till you
feel like oh, I'm in a good mood like I want
to do it because I realize to y 'all for me this
little sidebar that Sometimes for me, I gotta
I enjoy stuff in the moment because sometimes
it may not happen again. So I'm learning too
to stop thinking like that because it may happen
again. If I keep saying, oh, this is in the moment,
it may not come back. But sometimes some things
are meant for the moment. You don't want everything
just to be meant for the moment because you want
some things to last for a good time. And sometimes
you don't want to be like here for a good time,
not a long time because that's what it is being
in the moment. You know what I'm saying? But
yeah, take the time to really choose one goal
or have it, have it a hobby or whatever. and
you've been waiting you know waiting for the
dude do it don't wait till you feel motivated
on a good mood do it instead of waiting for the
perfect mood take one discipline step towards
it today ask yourself what would the next version
of me do right now then do that even if it's
small consistency clears transformation you know
you got to discipline yourself and do some things
that you probably don't want to do and i'm going
to give y 'all that's probably give you a little
hint on what we're going to talk about today
i mean even though y 'all don't see the title
but it is what it is so bye would guess y 'all
will be reopening soon so towards the end of
the month I want to say like the fourth week
so down wellness lessons one -on -one I will
be opening back up vibe and I will guess and
I will be so happy for you guys to fill out your
forms I do got to fix the calendars for vibing
out with guests individual sessions and group
sessions so yes y 'all I will be working on that
soon before the week is over cuz I thought spring
break so I'll have time to do so and also much
my students they go on spring break next month
So I basically have two breaks one break from
the school and from my school like from academic
wise and from being with my students for three
days But I also have another break away from
the student while those students are on break
But academics, I won't have a break because I
will be preparing to graduate, you know But it
is what it is. A break is a break. I still got
some wiggle room to do what I gotta do. And as
always, y 'all, Vibing Out With Guests is a reminder
that a space where real conversations create
real impact. Every story, every vibe is important.
It's lovely. It's a reflection of healing and
growth. And nobody's story goes unnoticed. Shout

meet growth and real live connections on this
Wednesday drop Wednesday March 11 2025 we have
reached 146 episodes and today's Bob of the day
is all about discipline over motivation And I
know y 'all probably like mmm. You know, it's
crazy y 'all every time I hear the word discipline.
I think of Shamar because Shamar made a song
about discipline and I used to be like oh my
god like every time I hear discipline like I
bust out and sing his song but now I'm just like
when I thought of it for the podcast I'm like
somebody gonna catch on to it somebody probably
like oh she ain't talking about Shamar's song
no we love Shamar but it's so funny when I was
writing I was like discipline you know Shamar's
song and then I'm like okay motivation kelly
rolling let me be your motivation so like i don't
know y 'all when i hear certain stuff a song
instantly comes to my comes to my mind like i
can have a song for anything and make up one
too it i don't know i don't know if it's a gift
or not but hey it it makes it makes something
it makes my heart skip a beat sometimes i don't
know it makes the mood it makes me feel good
point blank But yes y 'all, today's vibe of the
day is discipline over motivation. This week's
episode is a reminder that motivation is temporary.
I know y 'all probably like, hold up, for real?
I know y 'all. When I did some research on it
and understood it too while going to school and
teaching students, motivation is temporary within
certain things. But discipline builds lasting
results and discipline starts at home. You know
starts at home for you to help you with things
that nature we gonna get into it So we're talking
about why relying on motivation can keep you
stuck Hashtag stagnant how discipline strengthens
self -trust and how consistency actions create
a long -term Growth now, so in this episode we
will cover why motivation phase and discipline
last and discipline less hold on y 'all okay
here we go the difference between inspired and
committed how small discipline habits creates
the bigger change breaking the cycle of starting
and stopping that's a big one that's like within
motivation i'm gonna give you a little hint that's
in motivation like i'm motivated but i'm not
disciplining myself to keep going you know all
gas no breaks but it's okay you know you can
have those breaks but don't keep breaking when
you don't really need to break just because you
over it and most importantly and Building consistency
even when you don't feel like it That's a big
one. That's a big one y 'all This one's little
deep and it's all impacts with who you are becoming
within your next level becoming you within this
next level So yeah This episode is reminded that
success isn't built on perfect days and it's
not built overnight. It's built on consistent
effort. So guys, I'm so glad you guys are tuned
in at this time because you're in for a treat
for a motivating and honest conversation designed
to help you stay committed to your growth. Regardless
of how big or small it is, my friends, you are
in this cycle right now where you are in a space
where you're going to be able to understand like
yeah i'm motivated but sometimes motivation can
be temporary because now i'm in a space where
i have to discipline myself i gotta find like
what's what's i don't know if it's a math i think
it's a math like disciplinary and stuff like
that or however y 'all but if y 'all hear the
word y 'all probably like okay some people think
a discipline is like when you discipline your
kids or you're disciplining somebody else's kids
you think of discipline sometimes as Sometimes
think of as a bad thing but in all nationality
is a good thing especially we have to discipline
ourselves Like I say sometimes we can be our
biggest critics and let alone we can give ourselves
a headache I give myself a headache y 'all prime
example when I Don't give myself the chance to
try sometimes some things like I'd be scared
like not gonna lie regardless of how many degrees
you have or your highest level education you
can deal be having little hiccups in your life
and my biggest hiccup is being in groups with
people and it gives me some time to speak on
topics i'll be like i'll be sitting there like
i don't want to say anything yeah you know what
wait till they call me or something but uh -uh
like i had to learn like when i was in class
i gotta put myself forward you know And it doesn't
make you less of a person. Don't make you stupid.
Don't make you dumb No, it's just like it's helping
you get out your shell. It's helping you get
out of that butterfly and I have I was What they
say the introvert and extrovert. Yeah, I was
extrovert now I'm like y 'all think I'm more
on the side of an introvert just because of how
things happen going going but just in general
sometimes, you know We grow out of things, you
know, we fade away like going back to the last
episode like who are we becoming sometimes? our
taste change, the vibe change, how I wanna express
myself and all that change. And that also comes
within discipline. Sometimes we have to discipline
ourselves and understand like, you know, stop
trying to dim yourself, you know, try to the
best of your ability and then having motivation
along the way to help you and that's it. But
once the discipline is still there helping you
in between to get to where you need to go, it's
like, okay. Now I know what we're doing and I
think I'm on the right track and I have faith
in myself Once you discipline yourself like discipline
the child I feel like discipline is something
like a rule and a law that you're not gonna forget
like even for me As a child, you know, don't
do that. Don't touch that, you know Didn't I
tell you all that stuff? Like that stays with
me and like if I was to see a scenario again
like that in my grown age or with my students,
I'd be like and I discipline them in the best
appropriate way possible so they can understand
like This is important because even you have
to discipline yourself within areas you think
you already had discipline in or the motivation
is like oh I Got it. It's helping me. But sometimes
the motivation can fade away Like motivation
can really fade away from you and that's why
you need to understand why Discipline is over
motivation and why is it not motivation over
discipline? Okay So once again y 'all, we have
reached 146 episodes and today's vibe of the
day is discipline over motivation. And as I was
talking, I hope you guys had got an understanding
of like what it is and who it impacts and all
these things because if you're new here, I break
down every vibe of the day into the definition,
the five W's. Thank you for vibing in little
chat and going back to the quote of the week
slash the quote of the day slash the quote of
the week. Okay, so without further ado guys.
Don't you guys sit back relax enjoy hearing my
voice or watching my beautiful face Whether you
want to go on a movie now get real comfortable
get real tight. You know that's enjoy this night
I want to determine this morning evening afternoon
morning evening wherever you know I want you
to enjoy this I want you to enjoy it I want you
to turn me up on your speakers Your Alexa your
Google dot your TVs car radio phones PC whatever
because every vibe of the day is something special
Okay, okay, so let's get into it. What does discipline
over? motivation really mean and I really talked
a little bit about it like understanding like
why is it important for you to get the grasp
of you know sometimes we think of like motivation
is the key to everything it is motivation is
key but if you don't if you don't have no discipline
will the motivation even make sense and i know
you're probably like hmm i think of it that way
so this is what we're going to deep dive into
understanding why it's important to know that
yes motivation is key but sometimes we have to
have discipline over motivation for us to get
to where we want to be in life whether it's a
big or small goal or big or small changes in
our life So discipline over motivation means
committing to your goals even when you don't
feel inspired, energized, or emotionally ready.
Motivation is a simple word. It comes and goes
depending on the mood, circumstances, and external
encounterments. Discipline, however, is a decision
to stay consistent regardless of how you feel.
It's the ability to follow through on commitment,
routines, and responsibilities even when excitement
fades. Choosing discipline means understanding
that growth is built through consistency, not
barriers or bruises of inspiration and being
inspired. let's go back let me go back again
so discipline over motivation means committing
to your goals even when you don't feel inspired
energized or emotionally ready so with that being
said y 'all discipline is something let's think
of a goal or something you have going on right
now i want you to think about it whatever i want
you all to think about it as i'm telling y 'all
my example so right now the goal a goal or dream
whatever i'm going on promise that vocal Getting
a master's degree still in right after you got
a bs barrett. You got a bachelor's degree In
the same area, but you know different a different
level When I tell y 'all Told myself right after
I graduated before I even graduated period when
I jumped in the program When I jump into my BSW
program, it was already in the school of social
work I said my goal is to get my BS my BSW and
once I get my BSW I'm getting an MSW However,
I didn't know much about advanced standing. I
just knew I'm gonna get it done within two years,
you know and get it done Wrong. Oh once I heard
that I was qualified to do the advanced standing
placement that means you know accelerated program
9 to 11 months I Challenged myself and that became
my goal my discipline for the goal within me
getting my BS my BSW to my MSW Was to help me
understand that this is a commitment. I made
a goal to It is days. Hell. Yeah, they're gonna
be days and I had days where I didn't feel inspired.
And the reason why I'm gonna talk about sometimes
I didn't feel inspired is because it went from
one institution to another. And it's crazy because
in class I had to do research on the institution
I went, an alumni at, to now an institution that
I'm at now that I'll soon be an alumni at in
a couple months. I wasn't really inspired as
much because when I was an undergrad, a lot of
my professors was telling me, you have the ability
to go anywhere basically, but I really see you
here at this institution that you're at now,
University ED, you know, that this university.
And I was like, that really didn't inspire me
much, because I'm like, HBCUs for life. Like,
huh, hello. But then I was like, you know what?
Once I put the paperwork in and everything, and
I got my letter, you know, on the first day of
March, to honor social workers and stuff, I was
like, okay, now I feel like I'm inspired. I'm
inspired. Because at first, I wasn't inspired.
But I had to think, I had to go back to my why.
When it comes to discipline, I want you all to
think about it like this. When it comes to discipline,
and you know, motivation, people think when you
go to motivation, think of the why. But in this
case, when it comes to discipline, think of the
why. Because sometimes you can feel, when we
say, like, Don't feel inspired, energized, or
emotionally ready. Regardless of if I wasn't
even in the program yet for MSW, I still had
to go back to my why. I said, if I get this BSW,
I'm getting that msw and there were days where
I felt uninspired i'm like dang i'm i'm leaving
one Institution that I fell in love with I am
comfortable i'm here with to now to a whole new
institution I gotta learn the people learn the
professor. I gotta learn the whole thing Sometimes
I felt uninspired like sometimes I feel like
dang did I make a mistake of coming here? Did
I? You know, like it was some questions I had
like was it worth it and all those things But
I have to go back to my why the discipline of
it regardless of what it was inspired or not
I still had to go back to my why and I discipline
myself to understand that and now I'm like shoot
I'm almost out the door So I get it it gets to
the way especially to be energized. Sometimes
I didn't have the energy for example Time went
back. No time went forward. Sorry y 'all time
went forward Not you know Sunday when I seen
on March 9th it went from 159 to 3 o 'clock Me
asleep already right now don't have a good relationship
We have a love -hate relationship, and I know
hate is a real strong word, but we have a real
We have a real love -hate relationship, and I
know some you guys can understand where I'm coming
from If you already not get enough sleep imagine
you know time go forward and you see like dang.
I lost an hour's sleep so to me We didn't have
motivation to go to school the next day that
Monday. I was like, nope. But I had to think,
I said, hold up. Girl, this is week seven. Next
week is spring break. You're there from nine
to 12. Y 'all probably gonna do another group
assignment, which we did. And baby, I knew time
was going by fast. Let me tell you something
too. I called an Uber to school too. My Uber
driver, she was so full of energy, she helped
me because. I honestly didn't have the energy.
But she helped me get the energy I needed so
I could get in the building. Because if you around
people that's not helping you either be energized,
it's like you really don't have it. But sometimes
you need to focus on what matters for you. Why
are you doing this, right? Uh -huh. And most
definitely I had days when my emotions was not
ready. When I was emotionally ready. When I took
that oath. To pay my $300 to secure my spot is
the MSW studio I wasn't mostly ready not even
just about they've given up their money, but
I'm like Am I really doing it like I just got
I just walk across the stage I didn't walk on
stage yet for my BS for my BSW so I'm like I'm
a BSW student about to go out the door. I'm already
an MSW student if I enter the door. I wasn't
emotionally ready. You know why? Because I couldn't
grasp it. And my motivation at the moment wasn't
there. And I had to think about the discipline.
Why are you doing this, Eve? Because you made
a... I made this oath to myself. I had to set
out. You know? Like, I'm committed to a goal.
I have goals. I got dreams and aspirations and
so do you, my friend. That you have to offer
and at times you do you do have those moments
where you feel Like not inspired. You don't you
know, you don't feel inspired You don't feel
energized and your emotions are not ready it
gets to a point But you don't want that to happen
because you got a runoff fuel motivation. Like
I said motivation is temporary Especially going
back to in the moments sometimes motivation for
us can be just in a moment Some people was like,
you know, I'm motivations over discipline and
some are like shoot now I understand it discipline
is over motivation Sometimes you got to do what's
best for you and I was the same way like okay
I have the motivation, you know, I got a moving
myself but sometimes The motivation will come
into play motivation and discipline Sometimes
it wasn't going into play because sometimes I
put that motivation over that discipline and
it'd be times like we're okay I'm saying the
song okay, I'm doing it, but when I get there
it's like It's crooked and then I gotta think
about the discipline why I committed this goal
Why is this there? Okay, cuz going back to motivation
is temporary. It comes and it goes babe. I know
you probably like Dang, I guess it comes it goes
it comes and it goes depending on your mood Especially
like I say in the moment like this morning. I
had a motivation I didn't. I did not. I did not.
But I had to think about the why. If I don't
go to school, this is the consequences. When
you're in grad school, certain, I don't know
about all, you know, institutions, but my institution,
you miss three days, no excuses, with no excuses,
you're out. And I'm like, I cannot afford to
miss class. This is the only class I have in
person. I can't afford to miss. I miss one, but
I was excused because of what I had going on.
Any other reason be like, there ain't no, there's
no reason good for that, like, you know what
I'm saying? So, you gotta go back once to basically
having discipline equal to the why. Discipline
and why go hand in hand, because it's impacted
with committing to your goals even when you don't
feel like you're inspired, emotionally ready,
or you are not. Energized it happens what happened,
but sometimes motivation if you are in this moment.
We're okay I'm motivated cuz the mood you can't
be motivated when you depress sometimes hardest
ever to get motivated in the press Especially
doing a paper or dissertation all that stuff
or working with people and prepare the depression
and motivation dynamics It's gonna be a disaster
like that show Bricella you gonna give off like,
oh, record Ralph, girl, boy, no, my friend, no.
And sometimes people be like, yeah, my motivation
helped me. Sometimes it's like, yeah, it helps,
but in the moment, but at worst, it's like, do
you still have that motivation? Do you still
have it? You don't think of these things. Because
motivation, like we said, it comes, it's temporary.
It comes and it goes depending on where your
mood is the circumstances and what's the external
engagement for this like What are I doing right
here for the moment for me to get you know pumped
up? Then afterwards my oh, you know what? I was
always cool was bad. You know, I'm good. No,
we can't do that. We gotta keep this in mind
that discipline rules Everything is like cash
rules everything around me like Wu -Ting said
you know and in this case discipline rules everything
more than motivation because it's the ability
to follow through on commitment routines and
responsibilities even when excitement fades even
when excitement fade like for me like I did not
have motivation today at all better think of
that why my discipline I discipline myself to
go this far I'm at week seven I got seven more
weeks to go why give up now You know and I know
you're probably thinking like you right and we
all go to do things with the working a job handling
a business dealing things changing new things
or bringing new things and it all has a part
in our life and we think that motivation always
going to help us know because it's temporary
sometimes that motivation will fade like I tell
you like regardless of what Career you're in
or what are you doing in life? Sometimes the
motivation it comes and goes as well as When
you don't have that emotional support and those
people you like to help you You really ain't
really understanding like is this really worth
me getting up every day? I don't feel motivated
That's why I gotta go back to the why Eagle and
the discipline of why did you sign yourself up
for this? And what was the goal that you committed
with this dream aspiration? What was the commitment
period for this to happen? Yeah, you would motivate
in the beginning. It's like yeah, I did it. I'm
on it. I want that I need that But I want you
to understand too. Don't wait like we're packing
this week's challenge Don't wait until you're
in a good mood to do some stuff if you're neutral
and it's on your mind especially when it's on
your mind It's like that little voice in your
head. Whatever y 'all want to call it. It's telling
you look I Think this needs to happen regardless
if you want neutral, you know, just you just
give a rest face or not, whatever Do it. Don't
wait for you in a whole happy -go -lucky, bubbly
vibe for you to be like, all right, let's take
off. My motivation here. Because it's not really
going hand in hand on what the heck is the discipline
for you to be committed into doing this. Okay?
So now, who is impacted? Now, this is a strong
message that's to everyone that's going through
anything in their life that needs to understand
the importance of discipline and motivation.
So this message is for anyone who starts wrong
but struggles to stay consistent going back to
the motivation i'm here We strong but staying
consistent is the discipline of it. So now it
makes sense Like for example, you could be a
guy or girl that has the ambition of becoming
a ball player You know becoming a real famous
person And you have all the stuff you strong
in it But you're struggling to stay consistent
with this lifestyle now. You know, it looked
good in the movies and stuff, and you've been
picturing and you had this dream and this goal,
but are you willing to still commit to this goal?
Are you willing to still take this discipline
with the why, keep going? Because now your motivation
is not there, and you ain't got to find new motivation
to stay, continue on what you're doing. especially
impacted for people who rely heavily on motivation
to become something but lose momentum when life
gets busy stress overwhelming. That's why I said
motivation is temporary. Motivation is temporary
especially when you know we're not gonna have
the same motivation every day. Prime example,
when I work with my students I sometimes don't
have the same motivation every day. Sometimes
I need them to make some noise for me to be motivated.
Sounds like I need my supervisors to peek in
and out, you know stay on my back a little bit
to motivate me to okay get a little bit of You
know get a little vibe in but regardless my discipline
my why It helps me to stay consistent Cuz if
I wasn't consistent, babe, I don't think me in
this MSW would still be where we at now I think
I would not think I think I think you wouldn't
went that far Because sometimes we rely on this
we rely on excuse me Motivation to go over to
discipline because we think about discipline
is a bad thing No, I want you to get that out
your head disciplines. Not bad. It's a good thing
It needs to help us to stay consistent to get
things that we need to get done Because when
we lose the momentum of it, you know when life
gets busy. It's like I don't have the motivation
no more That's why I stopped is animal. I had
a motivation. That's okay But you don't want
to keep starting over something new and you still
got the same Discipline for yourself, but you're
not applying it to understand like you know I
See what the problem is. I'm the problem of keep
trying to have these You know momentum moments
in my life where you know the motivation helps
me, but I still got this discipline Disciplinary
all this stuff still playing but It's not adding
up Okay So this episode speaks to individuals
working to personal growth career growth healing
journeys or lifestyle changes who needs struggle
and Consistency to move forward if you ever say
I will start when I feel ready this conversation
is mainly for you This is for everyone that feels
like you know We gotta be in a good mood, and
I gotta be really head -on strong for me to understand
that yeah, I'm ready to do this instead of when
you're not in the right head space to go out
and do it. It's like going back to the bad times
and last forever. They don't. And sometimes in
the bad times, you gotta put your boots on and
start marching, stepping, whatever you gotta
do. Because in order for the good times to happen,
you gotta put in the work. You gotta do it. The
blueprint gotta be there. And yes, if you have
to, you gotta be selfish. Do that. Those give
me do that if you got to take time away from
people and things that don't fit with what you're
going to do that It's gonna have to take it what
it is if they don't understand I don't understand
if they get it they get it don't then you just
don't You have to take control of what is yours.
You kind of pop out within that story for you
You ain't got to pop out every move. You can
wait so something can happen to for you today
You could post it a week or so Three days, three,
four days. You know, you gotta pop out when it's
ready for you. Be selfish and take control of
what's yours. This is for you. Stop waiting for,
I will start when I feel ready. When I get that
generally bugged and butterflies like, oh my
God, I can do it, I can do it. No. Do it when
it's even feel bad because it also helps you
too. Like if I did this when I was down bad and
it helped me on the end, that means even when
I'm on my good days and bad days, I can do this
because this is the discipline I have made for
myself. The commitment I have. did the why of
my discipline regardless if i'm in a good mood
or not i still gotta make it going because when
motivation is not there everybody cuts it's like
when you're motivated you know you motivate people
sometimes even us superheroes hustlers and all
that when we're motivational speakers sometimes
we even stumble like we ain't got the motivation
but we have to go back to the discipline equaling
the why of why we committed to what we're doing
like i say and truthfully as the as y 'all Live
you as your life. I'm coaching whatever y 'all
want to call me I am NOT afraid to say every
time where I do not feel motivated sometimes
to get in front of camera put this microphone
and with this microphone Get in front of camera
or get in front of microphone. It's sometimes
I don't have the motivation But I gotta go think
go back to the why I committed to this the goal
I have for this and it is to play but most importantly
who this may be helping Even though I may not
feel motivated somebody may feel motivated hearing
this and it helps them with their discipline
For them to commit a goal whatever the case may
be Okay, so this message is for anyone. You know
we start our strong, but we struggle to stay
consistent in it That's what you know we had
a discipline We're starting our strong. We consistent.
You know I got the motivation in the discipline
Skirt something or someone can take us off that
road due to it's not there no more I don't feel
the same no more, but I'm gonna tell you this
every day is not gonna be the same every day
that someone shine Every day you might not see
a rainbow. That's why you keep going especially
when you put yourself on this ramp This pedestal
whatever of like okay I got a goal I need to
achieve. I got goals. I got ambitions. I gotta
achieve. I want to achieve things like that.
Whether or not I got the motivation or not, I
still gotta remember this is something that I've
been manifesting, praying for, putting in the
atmosphere, putting in work, just doing it like
Nike and things like that. I can't give up on
it now. If I give up on it now, it's like I fumbled.
And I will, it will be hard for me to really
understand why I ain't got the motivation no
more. And sometimes, You have to have those mirrorless
conversations with ourselves. That's a little
bit of motivation. Motivation is the word. I
ain't gonna lie to y 'all. Sometimes, even when
days where I don't feel like I still gotta think
about the why. Some days I may feel like Squidward
and I don't wanna smile and nothing, but I still
gotta know why. Like sometimes for people, you
know, parents, guardians, things like that. Some
of them do not, some of them do not like their
job. But I still want to put in that work because
it's the discipline the commitment they did for
itself and for their Children or whoever they
take care of up until they get what they want
to be in You know, we still find more wish everyday
day every day here and there but Their discipline
they committed to this and they still committed
until they're going to commit to something else
It's like a football player, you know when football
players from high school commit to a college
commit to the NBA whatever overseas it Changes
it changes and you want it like you are in this
set so you can get to that next level Sometimes
motivation may not be there Sometimes we're not
going to have motivation. We got to remember.
What was the why? Why is committed to the discipline?
Why is committed to the goal that you committed
to? Why did I want this? Why do I see this sit
for me? This suits me This is suitable for me
and things of that nature. So when we have those
moments, you know when we you know Our life change,
you know when our lifestyle change on a healing
journey the career the career growth personal
growth with structure and Consistence to move
forward all that saying, you know, I will start
when I feel ready. No Do it now. Whether you're
on a high horse, slow, whatever, do it now. Especially
if that voice in your head or you're getting
signs or whatever that's like, you need to take
off right now, do that. Don't wait until you're
in a good mood to do it or don't wait until something
bad happens. Do it the moment you feel that gut
feeling, whatever, that nerve, whatever is telling
you, let's go. We got things to do. It's gonna
happen for you. You just have to believe in yourself
and also understand this is for you and put your
best foot forward yes, it could be scary, but
you have to go out there because Sometimes we
got to do things out of fear sometimes we have
to be uncomfortable to get comfortable and sometimes
we're comfortable and sometimes We got a step
more something else. You know once we're comfortable
with this place now. I got a You know already
uncomfortable now. I gotta get comfortable again
to get to where that and you got to think of
the discipline equaling the goal you committed
to and overall equal to the why versus the motivation
you have for the moment because i guarantee if
you're in this place for a year your motivation
won't change every every other day every other
season every other month every other hour every
other second so you got to really think what's
for you and what's not but most importantly Once
I sign myself up for am I ready for everything
that's going to come with it, especially working
in a human and house service world? Every day
is where y 'all be one I Don't want to say squeeze
the children's here. I want to throw dodge balls.
It won't even have dodge balls and some days
I want just pissed a little teach, you know The
motivation sometimes ain't there but the discipline
equaling the why the goal I committed to regardless
that they give me they tell the kids I'm not
gonna give them my tail to kiss. I still got
a job I need to do I still got things to do I
committed to this I'm coming I'm coming in hot
with everything that's coming my way People that
are not like me and I staff members like me and
I don't care cuz we want a different path Yes,
we in the same place But my discipline for the
goal I'm committed to is different from what
you're here for Okay, yeah, right here for paycheck,
but what's the what's the real root cause the
commitment? Compacted to this fruit this paycheck.
I got Okay, so what is the benefit? What happens
you when you prioritize as a plan? I'ma say this,
it's a whole 360 that changed. A lot of things
changed for the better. All that you were going
through, you'd be like, dang, this really happened.
So when you prioritize discipline, you're building
rehabilitation with yourself. You're rebuilding,
you're rebranding some things in your life, such
as your decisions and how you move and what are
you committed to and how does it make you feel.
Your progress becomes steady instead of inconsistent.
Discipline reduces procrastination, strength,
confidence, and helps you develop habits that
strong, that supports, excuse me, long -term
growth. Instead of relying on, you know, bursts
of excitement, you create routines that move
you forward even on difficult days. Overtime
discipline creates results that motivate alone
and motivation alone cannot suit and it cannot
be sustainable cannot it can't do it you stop
waiting for the right mood and Start building
your start building the life you want through
consistent actions down that you hear me. Let's
say it again You stop waiting for the right move
the right mood and move And start building the
life you want through consistent actions now.
You stop waiting for the right mood and the right
time for you to get up and say, you know what,
I'm gonna put my clothes on and I'm gonna do
this. No. You stop that. You stop waiting for
you to be in a good mood. If you upset, if it
on your mind, that really gets an adrenaline
too. Like, you know what? It's like this, one
of my friends told me, once you're at the bottom,
there's nowhere else you wanna go but to the
top. If I'm already frustrated, pissed off, waxed
off, I'm like, hell, F this. That turns me up,
me personally. Some people, it don't turn them
up, okay? I understand. That turns me up because
it goes to show what I'm on, what I want to do
for myself. I'm turned up. I'm cranking myself
up. I'm tired of the same stagnant routine because
I'm prioritizing and building what is needed
for me, my reliability for me. I'm understanding
that, okay, now I'm tired of this situation I'm
going through. Now I gotta commit myself to a
goal that understands damn hex with why this
is needed for me to have the discipline yeah
I might not have the motivation or not but regardless
we have good days and bad days we still gotta
understand the why it's like after someone graduates
I love reading when people get new promotions
and houses things when good things happen in
their life they always mention with motivation
or not something that I've seen they say with
the motivation or not I still took that risk
every day or whatever to get up and do what's
necessary because I had to go back onto the why
and That's what I'm telling you guys getting
that BSW was not easy either Had to write a dissertation
if you guys remember the OGs I had to write a
dissertation a 16 page dissertation the board
was behind me y 'all but I don't like having
it when I record because it messed up I don't
mess that board up. I was in the library from
March up until The paper was due in April with
my friends. It was so bad, y 'all. The security
guards started knowing us by name and face. We
had discipline for ourselves. We had disciplined
ourselves, too. Like, look, we got a 16 -page
paper deal. It's worth 30%, I think, 34%, 8 %
of my grade. I'm looking at it right now. The
paper was out of 180. I got a 172 on there. If
I would have turned it in early, I probably would
have got a 170. I probably would have got 180
or 185 for extra credit, but I disappointed myself.
I said, I'm not going to do that just yet because
I want to make sure it fits the need of what
I've committed to do. I disappointed myself to
be in this library every weekend, even on a spring
break. Or if I'm out and I have to run errands
and stuff, I'd be like, all right, I'm gonna
try the library. I disciplined myself to go to
the library every chance that I get to make sure
this paper was done. Even if I wasn't in the
library, if I was at internship, at my previous
internship, work with the kids, and they on their
break, and I ain't got nothing going on, I'm
sitting doing the dissertation. I had to discipline
myself. I wasn't going out like that. I wasn't
answering the phone like that. I still was recording,
but certain stuff I used to do, the stuff that
wasn't impacted in my dissertation for me to
keep my grades up for my other courses and still
do the podcast and still work, if it didn't impact
with that, that was out the window. The moments
I had to present it to the school, we didn't
really present it like we thought we was, but
when after the ceremony, whatever. When I seen
that grade I Flipped I'm not gonna say I flipped
in a bad way. I flipped in a good way because
I Disciplined it myself It was times where I
was like I didn't have the motivations. I thought
I had a motivation But I still had to remember
the why why did I committed this my priorities
on why this is important is 16 page paper Yes,
it's for my grade but also to the topic I did
It hits who it hit so hard but nevertheless who
this is something that I kept hearing in undergrad
before I enter the program I'm in the program.
It's like, you know what? It helped me so much
not to have that that mindset of procrastination
I'm not a procrastination person, period. I don't
like cramming, my head hurts, nothing. I wasn't
procrastinating. I wasn't trying to strengthen
the confidence to help me get to understand why
this is important as well as to... Nevertheless,
y 'all, the discipline helped me on so many levels
of a growth mindset that I didn't know I had.
So it's been so many things, you know, like over
time discipline helped me create results that
I've Manifested in having that motivation couldn't
do for me alone That motivation couldn't do for
me alone that couldn't really satisfy me the
way I want it to be Because I guarantee y 'all
you wake up you like, you know like that little
memes y 'all see, you know, it's time to get
this money You know, sometimes we don't have
the motivation but the discipline with the goal
for us to get that money Sometimes the motivation
you think is yeah, I got up. No the discipline
was you got up But you still committed you committed
to going to work in the morning because you could
call it out But you said no I got to work because
if I don't do that I'm gonna lose you know I'm
gonna lose some pay my boss won't be on my tail
or my supervisor whoever will be on my ass I
ain't got time for that you get the drift because
when you prioritize with the benefit of understanding
prioritizing discipline over motivation you understand
that All those negative things impacted with
a fixed Grunt mindset it won't help me It won't
help me Ask you still be procrastinating You
still would try to find the strength for confidence
as well as to try to help you get to a long -term
Get to that long -term energy with a short in
a fixed mindset No, cuz motivation is temporary
in the moment. They I'm motivated. Yeah, I'm
motivated. We getting it done Afterwards, are
you still gonna be like, I got it done. Yay Yeah,
you'd be like, oh, I lost this hill And I know
you're gonna sit there be like, yeah, I was still
motivated. No Motivation is temporary, but that
discipline is gonna stick there It's gonna stick.
It's gonna stick Like some grits, okay, it's
going to stick because with discipline You're
committing to a goal. You're committing your
life to something you have been manifesting for,
putting in the work for, kept talking about.
That's what discipline is all about. Because
it helps you in so many ways. Because over the
time, the discipline's gonna help you in ways
that you didn't know could happen. Because when
we all stuck on this stagnant roller coaster,
motivation is the key to the ranch. When it's
mainly discipline, you get to see okay you right
and i see it for myself i was motivated but now
i was like you know sometimes i don't even be
motivated in the morning but i still think oh
i'm here though the discipline you were committed
to it you know i'm you sometimes we committed
to jobs we don't even want to do we don't want
to go to but we got things we need to handle
regardless if you're in a good mood or not i'm
still here and i'm committed to make this money
to handle what i gotta do you see Because sometimes
motivation is not going to help us in so many
ways that we think it's going to or what we thought
was going to do for us. We're almost there, y
'all. So when should discipline be practiced?
It should be practiced more than motivation is.
It should be practiced ASAP. Discipline is most
important when motivation disappears. You need
to prepare yourself to discipline yourself right
away even when your motivation is fading away.
When that motivation of you doing whatever you
need to do or things you want to do and it fades
away Have the discipline of still keeping in
mind. Okay I may not have the motivation, but
i'm still committed to get this out the mug or
get whatever out the way When it needs to get
done Discipline is most important when motivation
disappears and that is when you feel tired But
something still needs to get done. Like I said
You didn't want to go to school. You didn't want
to go to work. That's how my students you didn't
want to come today, but look you here You see
why cuz Steve had to get it done if you did come
to school today We would have been calling your
mother your father whoever you was with in your
grade with a drop If you wouldn't came in the
school without an excuse on why you was absent
your reason women valid Some people think the
motivation no, it's the goal the discipline equaling
the commitment to the goal of understanding,
you know, even though I'm tired, I still got
things to do. I still got things to do. Your
goal requires a long -term effort. Within a discipline,
you know, it equals the commitment and the goal.
Well, let's say just discipline equals commitment.
You committed yourself to this especially if
you have a goal it requires long -term effort
for me. Let's go back BSW I was already MSW student
before I was in the program I was already MSW
student before I was in the program before I
had that beat while walked with the BSW I was
already MSW You know like my goal your goal requires
a long term Requires long -term effort and you
know discipline equals committed. I'm committed
to it So I gotta continue and ride to the wheels
fall off this mother As well as your attempt
to fall into old habits Commitment Discipline
commitment you don't want to fall back in them
old habits. You're tippin to fall back in them
old habits It happens y 'all it happens. So you
go back in the old habits. Okay one time and
I'm done Sometimes I slip up on you And I could
tell you it's I have a bad habit one bad habit
is slipping up on me, too I gotta be like, you
know what? I gotta get off this phone at night,
you know, I gotta go into things that can help
me sleep Cuz I feel like sometimes I'm on tick
-tock playing the game as gonna oh plants looking
and scrolling on my phone at tick -tock and Shopping
online looking at shoes and stuff won't help
me but it's not it's motivate me to stay For
me to want to say bye bye bye bye. Bye. Bye.
Bye in the car. No, so when you do your snippets
of fall back in them old habits Think of how
is that old habit going to affect the discipline
equal on the commitment that you have for? Yourself
as we're becoming Who we are within this next
level? Progress feels slow or invisible Whoa
Discipline is mostly important when motivation
disappears Progress feels slow or invisible But
this matters for you to understand that regardless,
you know, sometimes it feels slow or invisible
But you're still committed to what you have going
on even in school and working a job. Sometimes
it's like dang my progress feels slow But once
it's beat up you'll be like damn. I wish I would
enjoyed it And I talked about that too like sometimes
we have to enjoy the slow moments in our life
because once the pace Comes back up. You're gonna
be like damn. I said it. I need a break No, we
got to enjoy everything we can that's going back
into like enjoying in a moment Sometimes see
within this I can speak on this when our progress
feels so and invisible We have to think back
to of understanding the discipline equal in the
commitment that we had Yes, sometimes it could
be slow progress will be slow and it feels invisible
for example, but I'm not with yes It's slow right
now. The progress is slow and it may feel invisible,
but I'm still committed to doing what I have
to do in pushing out some guest appearances,
even if it don't come right away or not. I'm
still gonna do it, regardless if the progress
is slow or is invisible, because I'm committed
to it. Regardless if it don't happen right away
when I put it out there, when I have more time,
I guarantee you something's gonna happen and
if it don't, that's fine. I'm still gonna push
it. Because that's my commitment. That's the
discipline for me. That's what my committed to
do. Regardless if the progress is slow or invisible.
During this time is when you feel the need to
do what's necessary for you to still keep that
commitment going for your discipline. And lastly,
you are waiting for the perfect moment to start.
Don't do it. We already talked about it. We're
not waiting on no perfect moment. We're doing
it right now. Because once you're at the bottom,
there's nowhere else you want to be but the top.
Once you're at the bottom, that's it. The bottom
of the barrel, where else you gonna go? Nowhere,
you already there. Once you're at the bottom,
all you want to do and where you want to be is
the top. So get together right now. Don't wait
till, oh I'm in a good mood, oh my god, I feel
so good, you know. Got my hair done and shaped
up, whatever. Don't wait till you're in a good
mood to be like, oh I want to do this. Do it
even when you feel like you're on neutral. Maybe
upset a little bit. But make sure you're doing
it in a sense of it's pure and not deep devilish
and all that. Do it when it's, make sure it's
pure, like me. Even though this morning I didn't
want to get up, I still gave pure vibes because
why would I want to give a nasty, why would I
want to give my nasty vibe when someone is giving
me a good vibe? If I were in that lady's, ooh,
that lady's car with that nasty vibe, she would've
gave me a nasty vibe back. They ain't not trying
to get no good, they ain't gonna give you no
good vibe of me being nasty, hell no. Uh -uh.
Hell no. Hell no. And, you know, even though
I ain't wanna get up this morning, I still was
like, get it done. Because you know already into
deep, you know, it's week seven next week. You
don't have to go in there on campus You'll be
home on spring break You know this don't don't
be in a perfect mood to just say oh what I did
is No, do it even sometimes when it's like I
don't want to do it, but I gotta do it Gotta
do it because discipline works better when it
becomes part of your daily routine Instead of
something you only use moments of urgency. That's
what the whole point I want to understand to
Motivation is when it's only used during the
moments of urgency Discipline is a part of your
daily routine because we all commit ourselves
to something. I commit to taking my butt to university,
to the University of Maryland, every Monday.
I'm committed to being on class that night on
Tuesday, every other Tuesday. I'm committed to
going to see my students three days out the week.
I'm committed to make sure that I record and
be on here to give you all the vibe of the day.
Well, well, this lesson is a lot of commitment.
It's a part of my daily life that also impacts
with it too. Commitment is what you make. a part
of your life and also the goal but mainly discipline
equals the commitment what have you put yourself
in place for because the motivation is we only
get motivated in urgent situations or we gotta
make ourselves be motivated i don't want that
i don't want to make myself know even if i don't
feel motivated to get what i need to get done
i'm still going to get it done because it's a
part of my daily routine and if i If my daily
routine feel off and I don't have and it's not
necessary to be off. That's a problem See next
week. I have the right because necessary I'm
gonna break I'm gonna spring break clear my thoughts
relax if I got to do something with my group
Okay, cool. We're gonna do that. But anything
else? No, I'm not doing that. Nope. Nope. It's
not a part of that Nope, I'm not trying to find
the motivation and all that to get there. No
Absolutely not Because you got to think about
it so much. I think about it. We still want to
think about it as discipline equals Commitment.
Discipline works best when it becomes part of
your daily routines. It was a commitment. Instead
of something you only use when in moments where
you need or need an urgency. That's motivation.
And you gotta be like, oh, I gotta hype myself
up. Oh, I gotta find this song. I gotta eat this.
I gotta do this. Er, I don't care if you in a
good happy ghost lucky vibe or you in a don't
look at my ass type of vibe. You gotta think
of discipline as the commitment that you have
took that all for yourself to do every day even
my students They'd be like I didn't want to come
today, but I'm like you're here You committed
to come back to school you committed to come
to school today even if you in a good mood or
not You're here regardless of the motivation
that you think you had no you had a little bit
motivation You know I was there to help you texture
in the morning, but I am NOT obligated to I'm
not obligated to I just do it because I want
to do it You think teachers and all of us know
I do it because I want to not because I have
to So yeah All right y 'all we almost there So
where does this show up most like where does
discipline over motivation shows up most in our
lives? Personal growth stand consistent with
habits that builds growth. We already talked
about this We already talked about this so we
not new to this we true to this career development
Showing up prepared, focused, and accountable.
You could be unmotivated, but you still made
sure that you showed up and you was prepared,
you focused, and you're taking accountability
and stuff even if you may come late at night.
Even if something may not go your way or whatever.
Motivation don't always all the time helps with
us showing up prepared, focused, and accountable.
I had days in class where I was like, you know
what, I ain't motivated. But I showed up, I was
prepared, I'm focused, and I'm taking accountability
of what I have going on. As well as the wellness
routine. Protecting your physical and mental
health. Are you protecting your mental and physical
health? If so, how are we doing it? How are you
going to do it? How am I going to commit to make
sure I'm protecting my mental and physical health
every day, as part of my daily activity, my daily
life, the commitment, discipline equals the commitment,
you know? Physical appearance, I'm making sure
I ain't got nothing going on, you know? Mentally,
I'm making sure, you know, if I have to wear
that brace for my leg, I'm going to wear that.
so i can heal mentally if i gotta make sure oh
if i gotta um wooside deep brief journal reflect
i'm going to do that because part of my daily
my daily Motivation not motivation. Oh, no my
daily devotion. Oh Jesus Christ It's a part of
my daily devotion with or without motivation
I'm still gonna get the job done and see how
right there I can even slip up cuz sometimes
I used to be like, okay, I Gotta motivate myself.
But now like when I started paying attention
to this cuz I started this Started doing these
notes back in January. I was like Okay, and we're
gonna have to slip up see I had a slip up and
I'm not afraid and I'm glad y 'all were able
to hear it and see it Because you know sometimes
we it takes a minute for us to understand. Yes
discipline Equals commitment is better than motivation
equals urgency and typical early vibes it happens.
We're human We're human as well as when our personal
boundaries stand firm even when it feels uncomfortable
Discipline equals Commitment. I'm staying firm
even when I feel uncomfortable. Going back to,
you gotta be uncomfortable to get comfortable.
It happens to all of us, and you might think
it don't, but it does. As well as to self -se
- I wanna say small. Self -development. Continuing
to grow even when progress feels slow. Commitment.
When you commit yourself to these things at times,
it's not gonna start off real fast. You don't
want to start off real fast. You want to take
it slow. You want to slow down and understand
what's going on. Motivation is gonna be urgently
temporary. It's in the moment. It's in the moment.
In this moment, right here, right now. It's not
going to take out the whole day. Stop going to
because the small discipline actions you can
take daily shapes the bigger outcomes you experience
later like for me it took a little it took It
took a little bit out of me to get out the bed
But I had to remember I committed this you know
so I got up You know did my daily routine and
stuff sometimes things may split out my daily
routine, but long as the main points are still
there And even add in some small ones because
the small discipline actions you take daily,
it's going to help shake the bigger outcome of
how your experience will be later on in the day,
or the week, or the month, or whatever the case
may be. So it shows up a lot in our life. Personal
growth, career development, wellness routines,
self -development. It happens. And sometimes
we slip up. Like I said, motivation. We think
motivation. No. the commitment that we have,
the impact of the discipline that we have for
ourselves. And lastly, why is this important?
Why does discipline change its results? Before
we get into it, you're on a whole new level.
You understand that now commitment is key. Now
motivation is key. We taking motivation key is
out. We're taking commitment is key. And having
that commitment for me, for you, whomever, is
needed. the discipline to equal the community
equaling the commitment helps me with a communication
my daily life and all those other things in that
nature because motivation alone cannot sustain
long -term growth it can't because motivation
changes every day sometimes we motivate in not
so good ways and good motivation is different
for everyone especially when it comes to it cannot
sustain a long and a long term goal It's not
possible. Every day is not going to be the same
day. Every day the sun won't shine, every day
you will not see a rainbow. It's different, but
that commitment will not change until you commit
to something else. Motivation may help you start,
but discipline helps you continue. Like the motivation,
like I'm motivated, like I'm getting it done,
it's helping me. But that discipline equal that
commitment is going to help you continue to get
to where you want to go. Such as for me, graduating.
I have motivation sometimes, but I got to remember...
That's discipline is commitment. I have is helping
me continue regardless or not because we have
good days bad days Motivated or not. I'm still
committed to getting this done. I'm still committed
to giving on about today I'm still committed
to doing what I have to do for this degree for
my students for my family whatever even me for
myself I'm still committed with or without support
with or without motivation. I gotta make sure
my ish is there how I want it to be Okay, cuz
when you rely on only motivation your progress
depends on how you feel and that's the worst
thing ever because we are on and off like a light
switch I Can be bright as the day is long Dem
down in the middle or I'm completely off. It's
a blackout If I keep relying if you and I keep
relying on motivation to help us We're screwed.
Discipline is not even going to be a thing. Commitment
is not even going to be a thing because motivation
is going to take over. And that's why we have
to understand that motivation is urgent. It's
temporary when it's necessary. It's going to
help us to start. But that discipline, that commitment
is going to help us keep going within any and
everything we have going on. It shifts your mindset
from a temporary excitement to a long -term commitment.
Like in the moment, yes, you start off, yeah,
I'm excited. But then you get into it, it's like,
yeah. I could do this even on a good or bad day.
I could do this even if I do or not get no sleep.
I'll be on my ground all week. Even if I ain't
getting no sleep or not, that don't matter to
me now because I'm on this run where I'm trying
to win. I'm trying to get this together. I'm
committed to what is there. See how I switched
up days low, started putting my ground a little
bit together. You know, with no days off. I'm
going hard like no days off like Fetty Bop told
you. And then if you don't know, you need to
listen to both of the songs. But either way,
you understand what it is. It shifts your mindset
from a temporary excitement to a long -term commitment.
Discipline builds resentment, strength self -trust.
It helps you trust yourself and understand inside
which for you once you commit to these things
and allowing you to achieve goals that requires
patience. Perseverance that you think you've
made didn't have and when discipline becomes
your foundation your growth is sustainable Once
you had as a foundation The flower the butterfly
whatever it is going to be phenomenal. It's going
to be like I'm sustainable like you up there
because now you understand that Discipline equals
the commitment you committed. Motivation is the
urgency and the moment for right now. Commitment
is going to keep going and going and going and
going. Okay? And now that taps into the quote
of the day equals the quote of the week. Motivation
gets you started. Discipline keeps you going
and it keeps you grounded. And I hope now y 'all
understand like, uh... I feel you now, I get
you, yeah, I'm like, see, see now, see you, see
you now, okay? And I want you guys to know this
while we go, I thank you guys for taking the
time out of your busy day to listen to me or
watch me, because I want y 'all to understand
this within as y 'all vibing out, but I think
y 'all for vibing with me is that today I want
you to remember that growth doesn't require perfect
motivation, it don't. It requires consistent
effort. Some days will feel exciting, other days
will feel ordinary. But every day, discipline
steps move you closer to the life you're building.
Staying consistent to your progress, your future
self will thank you for it. Once you stay consistent
to your process your future self is going to
thank you for it because you understand now Discipline
and commitment goes hand -to -hand and at times
motivation it's going to is motivation going
to help you get started But they're going to
help you finish sometimes because it's in the
moment in this You know for the moment urgency
things of that nature Okay, so I really hope
you guys have enjoyed today's five of the day

consistency even you don't feel like it Do it
and we don't have the motivation for it breaking
the cycle of starting and stopping. That's what
it was stop we're going today we're going to
stop that cycle of we're going to start and we're
going to stop and not go back because we ain't
