Motivation plus discipline

Psalms 140

7.  “O GOD the Lord, the strength of my salvation,
You have covered my head in the day of battle.

I heard a trainer once say “Motivation is the beginning of the goal, Discipline helps you achieve it”. In the beginning of a workout program you have a goal, to lose a few pounds, build muscle, tone up, etc… your motivation. Around the first two months for some people they start to fall from other distractions (sometimes life just takes you for a loop) and you stop. The next thing you know you start back at the beginning to your motivation.

It’s such a cycle for those who do this and yet it seems never ending battle, the battle of the goal.

Some say its lack of disciple, not for all, but for many. People who have great bodies will tell you they do not stay at the gym for 2 or 3 hours working out, if they do spend that much time send them over hear and I can help them with time management. Some athletes will spend 2 or 3 hours but this is there job (though I still think it too long depending on your sport). The difference is that there discipline enough to do there workout, and we see the results.

In battle, soldiers don’t give up in the middle of the fight. Soldiers fight till the end or retreat to figure out a different strategy. So don’t give up, stay in the fight to be discipline, and achieve your motivation… your almost there.
