Question What does Self-Discipline mean?

My idea is that self-discipline is like doing things whether youre motivated or not. You know... motivation happens but it can also fade away quite fast. It's the self-discipline that keeps us there. Of course I know this, but it can REALLY hard to apply. Being busy keeps you going and having tasks TO meet (meaning, ones that you HAVE to meet) certainly helps too... like being in clubs in campus, homeworks, etc... but the other stuff... MY stuff! I just can't seem to do!!! And its a big conflict..

My income... I cant motivate myself to raise it. how do i do this?
My relationships... they are actually improving, but i cant motivate myself to purposely find a great girlfriend. My relationships are improving cause i meet more people everyday now (clubs, classes, study hours) and that alone makes me a more people person... but there is a gap to void and I cant fill it just yet!

anyone experiencing things like this? how do u go about it?

I cannot tell you how much I wish I could give you a detailed answer, but truth is, self-discipline is tough to acquire and more important, to keep. Like you said, it's what keeps you going when motivation fades.
I will give you this and this is what is working for me thus far. If you noticed, sometimes when we begin growing, not all of us begin right away. Yeah? Some of us read a lot and memorize a lot and try to act it out first, but then as we become wrapped up in the field of personal development, we just cannot help but to feel overwhelmed to take action!
For instance, when I became SO surrounded with books, quotes, motivational posters, motivational podcasts in my bedroom, I felt so overwhelmed that it was almost impossible not to act. My environment was the key. My environment led me to eventually perform.
Let's try (I say "let's" because I'll do the same) putting papers all over our rooms with signs on our desire income and notes on how to get it. Let's become really overwhelmed by that fact and if it happens, then we'll be happy. If it doesn't, then we'll have learned.
