Matthew Ortiz Literacy Narrative Scene

Although I have said I felt motivated, motivation was not the feeling that got me through the hard days and made me want to get up on days I did not feel like getting up. Motivation did not make me do the homework that was due. The bad thing about motivation is, it is only a temporary burst that makes you feel like you can accomplish anything. You can watch a YouTube video or hear some inspirational figure talking and feel motivated, but this feeling only lasts so long. Discipline is what kicks in during the times all that motivation goes away. You can feel motivated today to finally start reading that book and disciplined enough tomorrow to continue that habit. Discipline creates longevity in habits and gives you the strength to do anything you put your mind to. It gives you perseverance and makes you strong minded.
