Motivation gets you going, but discipline keeps you growing.
It doesn’t matter how talented you are. It doesn’t matter how many opportunities you receive. If you want to grow, consistency is the key. Small disciplines repeated with consistency every day lead to great achievements gained slowly over time. Consistency breeds habit, and once a habit is formed, it’s easier to stick to it. If you’re consistent with your routine, you’ll be more likely to achieve your goals. Motivation comes and goes – but consistency is always there for you.

… and remember, you will never change your life until you change something you do daily. Don’t wait for inspiration, don’t look for motivation – get up every morning and practice. Don’t wait for perfection, just get started. Anyone who does what he must only when he is in the mood or when it’s convenient isn’t going to be successful.
