The Difference Between Discipline & Motivation


Listen Later

In Episode 3 of the 13:22 Life Podcast, Bri unpacks a topic many of us wrestle with—discipline vs. motivation. While motivation can spark action, it often fades. Discipline, however, is what sustains us through the dry seasons, busy days, and even the days we don’t feel like showing up.

If you’ve been relying on your feelings to get things done—or struggling because the “motivation” just isn’t there—this episode will give you a powerful mindset shift. Bri speaks from real-life experience as a woman juggling family, business, and faith, reminding us that God honors consistency, not just excitement.

What You'll Learn:

🔥 Why motivation is unreliable—but discipline is powerful

🔥 The faith-based reason we must commit even when it’s inconvenient

🔥 How to build discipline in your daily life (especially when you're overwhelmed)

🔥 Encouragement to keep going even when you don’t “feel it”

Scripture Anchor: Hebrews 11:6 – “And without faith it is impossible to please God...” 👆 This verse becomes a guiding light in how we approach showing up even when we’re not “in the mood.”
