Feeling motivated is necessary, that's how I'm looking at it. Discipline is also important, but if you're not feeling motivated to do anything and you have to drag yourself with discipline, that's a fucking misery!

Used to sell stupid excuses to myself years ago how I'm not doing stuff for anybody else but me, therefore even thinking of how I'm going to show every freaking pussy who laughed at me saying I won't make it wasn't 'true and honest' approach to self motivation. Actually, it is! Spitting on faces to everyone who left you or treated you like crap has sweet aftermath taste. I guess it's much more important to keep on going then to care about if your reasons are true or not. Then with my logical mind after some time I had to be honest with myself "I actually don't give a single fuck to anyone of them, why even bother thinking how I'm gonna show them one day when I literally do not give a damn about them or what they think", then my reason get off. Discipline is easy when you know WHY you do stuff, what do you want to accomplish. That motivation along with discipline is the key

What makes you going in life, what drives you, what makes you jump out of bed to tackle up the day and smash every single obstacle?
