Motivational Quote from Jocko Willink

Don’t expect to be motivated every day to get out there and make things happen.  You won’t be.  Don’t count on motivation.  Count on discipline. -Jocko Willink

As an ASVAB tutor, I realize that my students appreciate motivational messages from current and former military men and women.  Jocko Willink is a retired U.S. Navy SEAL that is a renowned speaker, podcast creator, and famous author.  He presents powerful motivational quotes.  Today’s quote reminds us that we cannot rely simply on motivation to achieve our goals.  Life is about more than motivation.  Motivation is the state of being motivated of having the strong reason to act or accomplish something.  Discipline is training by instruction and drill.  Motivation is a feeling.  Discipline is about action.  The action is what gives us control over what we are planning to do.  Discipline is what keeps you going when motivation is low.  So be disciplined and achieve your goals.
