+It's hard to get going sometimes, the two most important traits that I have found so far is grit and discipline, but they're intertwined.
+
+You need grit to develop discipline, but you fall back on your discipline when you run out of grit. 
+
+To get into that cycle feels a lot like skipping rope. Grit makes you jump into the rope and with every swing, the inertia of developing grit and discipline gets stronger. 
+
+But every now and then the rope hits our feet and we lose all that momentum. 
+
+Grit is what makes us start again, but discipline is what keep us trying over and over again.
