Episode 121 - Motivation VS Discipline | The Truth About Fitness

Most days, the gym is the last place I want to be. I'm talking
about an 80% dread rate and a 20% enthusiasm rate.

But you know what? I put on those sneakers and hit the gym
anyway.
No excuses, no complaints, just action.

The problem is that many folks out there are chasing external
motivation. They think they need a personal trainer screaming in
their ear, or they're working out just to show off to that ex who
couldn't see their worth.

Truth be told, that's not the right path. Relying on external
motivation is like building a barrier to hide from
accountability.

Today, I will tell you the essence of motivation and why it's the
heartbeat of your fitness journey and life.

It's as simple as this: Without motivation, you're running on
empty. You won't find the energy to tackle those things you know
you've got to do.

We're going to school on motivation—what it really is, how to
nurture it, and how it dances hand-in-hand with discipline and
habits.
This episode is your motivation masterclass, and by the end of it,
you'll be ready to conquer the world. Let's dive in!

“I’m gonna suggest to you that you can find motivation in
discipline because if you rely on motivation entirely, you’re just
gonna get tired, right? It’s not gonna work.”
—Funk Roberts
