From 'The Climb' by Miley Cyrus:

There's always gonna be another mountain,
I'm always gonna wanna make it move.
Always gonna be an uphill battle,
Sometimes I'm gonna have to lose.
Ain't about how fast I get there,
Ain't about what's waitin' on the other side,
It's the climb.

The struggles I'm facing,
The chances I'm taking,
Sometimes might knock me down, but
No I'm not breaking.
I may not know it, but
These are the moments that
I'm gonna remember most, yeah
Just gotta keep goin',
And I, I gotta be strong,
Just keep pushing on.

Holding on takes #discipline.....

Someday somebody's gonna make you want to
Turn around and say goodbye,

Hold you down and make you cry?

Things will go your way,
If you hold on for one more day.

I think you find your motivations when you ask questions such as 'What do you want to do?' and 'What do you want to avoid?' and  'Why do you want to do that?' I think you encourage discipline when you ask yourself 'What’s the best thing for you to do?'
