Success is not solely defined by talent and luck rather, it is about persistence, hard work, and determination. Remember, two critical elements responsible for individual success in any area are self discipline and motivation. To promote self discipline as the execution of motivation during focus times with goals set, it's important not to discard it altogether. The reason for the beginning of something is motivation thus, it could never stand on its own.
Instead, motivation diminishes self-discipline, on the other hand, is the ability to take action no matter what mood you may be in. This particular aspect helps one take necessary action towards the goal despite one being low on energy self discipline stands through distraction and control. That being said, to continue to build or rather support motivation and self-discipline, understanding why you want to achieve something can help break the big picture into smaller portions, surround yourself with positive people, and celebrate your accomplishments.
Since most of us have trouble letting go of short-term gain in order to achieve long-term success, developing a growth mindset and rewarding ourselves would be a way to stay within the specified area of ambition and achievement for a longer period of time. Whereas motivation is something which drives us at first, self discipline helps one sort out into action-oriented persons even when he has lost all initial thrust towards ambition. Once motivation gets married to self discipline, success in life, however distant, becomes undoubtedly a mode for realization.
