Which is better: passion or discipline?

Many people consider passion as the most important trait to be successful, but they are mistaken. Having passion is important, yes but it has nothing to do with what makes you a success. What makes you successful is your consistency and discipline which develop your passion for something into something superior, more better, and more disciplined than what you might have had before.

It's a tough choice, but I think discipline is more important than passion. Passion is what you have when you look forward to something. It's the thing that makes you excited about doing something, or the thing that makes you feel like you want to do it even if you don't know why. Discipline is what happens when you actually put in the time and effort to do whatever it is that has your passion and get rewarded with an outcome more than just wanting it.

It's just like someone who has a passion for writing, they enjoy doing it and they publish articles once in a while but aren't putting in their best because they see it as more of a hobby. Even when they do put in their best, they aren't consistent and can't seem to find the right motivation to push them because all they have is their "passion".

The thing is, it's easy to be passionate about something. You get all fired up with excitement and you want to do your best at it. But what if that passion isn't enough? What if you're just as excited and enthusiastic about something but you don't have the discipline to make it happen?

Passion is important because it can motivate us to try harder and do more than we would have otherwise. But passion alone isn't enough for most people who want to reach their full potential. Everyone has different goals, and some people need a little bit of passion and motivation in order to get started, while others need more discipline so they can stay on track.

You can have passion without discipline; it just means that there's no real commitment behind what you're doing. If you are really passionate about something but don't take action on it, then eventually your passion will fade away and it will become something else (like a hobby). But if you do take action on something because of your passion, then over time all those actions will lead to a positive outcome (which could be anything from getting paid work as an artist to getting promoted at work).

Discipline is what makes the difference between success or failureβ€”and it's not always easy! It requires sacrifice and hard work, but when you have the right combination of passion and discipline, you can achieve anything! (within your power)

Conclusion

The final thing I'd like to leave you with is this: passion and discipline are both important. Passion will help you get started, but discipline will keep you going. Discipline is something that few have; passion is something that many claim to have. But only the disciplined few can see things through to the end, whereas the passionate many will often quit when times get tough.

The only way you're going to be able to reach your goals for this year (and beyond) is by having passion and discipline, not just one or the other. It's a combination of the two that will make all the difference in your life, so never forget that. It can be summed up in this way: Do what you need to do and don't quit until you've finished.

I go for discipline! Although passion pushes someone to the there always because the work or job is enjoyable, but you see discipline, it's like a time watch that give you "a must go" sign.

More also, passion without discipline is a big failure..let me put it this way; let's assume a pastor is called by God and he loves what he does, but fails to discipline himself from temptation with the mindset that he's called and has the anointing, without discipline he will fall to seduction and the anointing will leave before his very eyes

Exactly. Most times when we have just passiom for something, we tend to relax and approach it in a careless manner coz we believe we meant to do that thing and it's easy for us but adding discipline to it will mean we are more careful and pay more attention towards making it a success

That's a nice read. I also believed that passion and discipline should go hand in hand in order to succeed in whatever field you are into. Same goes with " love with no actions , won't go anywhere ". You have to do something , work on it for love to last, that love is nit enough for us to live a happy life. Like passion without discipline and it would just fade away and be forgotten.

I guess everything needs discipline for some sort of progress/focus. Discipline is what steer us in line to achieve our goals.

What if I put it this way: with passion you can do what you love and earn money from it. With discipline, you can do what you don't like and earn money from it.

Sometimes passion alone isn't enough (in fact, most of the time). That's why sometimes you will see people that love doing a certain thing not being successful at if, they lack the discipline to push it further
