Passion is more important than discipline.
Passion will make you enjoy what you’re doing.

You can hardly achieve anything you don't have passion for.

You can't go far if you are not disciplined...discipline ensures you are focused on that thing you have passion for.
I am referring to the question...like selecting between the devil and the deep blue sea...take one

lessonotes:
Diligence - "having or showing care and conscientiousness (the quality of wishing to do one's work or duty well and thoroughly.) in one's work or duties."

"Seest thou a man diligent in his business? he shall stand before kings; he shall not stand before mean men." Prov. 22v29

These all points towards passion.
@ second bolded;

Diligence is synonymous to discipline in this context.

Discipline o. Passion may not be able to buy you roasted corn

PASSION because that is the first thing you need to start. You can’t be disciplined in what you are not passionate about.
Re: Discipline Vs Passion: Which Is More Important For Achieving Your Goals? by Mouhstorph5(m): 7:32pm On Jan 31, 2023
Yes, you need a high level of self discipline to achieve your set goals. Where you're passionate about it or not, once the word DISCIPLINE is missing, I doubt it coming to reality.

My take!

I think, you need both to succeed but you must make sure, that discipline always leads and yeah — what about MONEY?

I've got passion for writing, music, science etc but I need discipline in order to HUSTLE for the MONEY to push these dreams further.

That's what I'm doing right now, it's hard but discipline keeps me going.

If left with the option of choosing one (which is very dangerous), I'll go with passion.

You need discipline in order to achieve your goals. It does not matter if you have the passion. Once you can't discipline yourself you will always find it hard achieving anything regardless of your passion for it. E.g you need to rehearse or practice a skill or something you are really passionate about but just because you don't feel like doing it at that moment you procrastinate. But if you have disciplined yourself to do things even when you don't feel like you become better than someone who even got more passion/talent than you in same field but lacks discipline.

I could go on and on but these few points I just dropped is enough for now.
Re: Discipline Vs Passion: Which Is More Important For Achieving Your Goals? by Whoknow: 7:39pm On Jan 31, 2023
My opinion, passion and discipline goes together. Passion give strength to you and makes you love the goal you have set for yourself but if passion is not guided by discipline you might go astray.
Re: Discipline Vs Passion: Which Is More Important For Achieving Your Goals? by CaptainFM1: 7:40pm On Jan 31, 2023
Passion might start it for you, but if you're not disciplined you may not go further.

None will in Nigeria, stayed disciplines till you finished your university, you won't get a job

Play football on the streets like neymar if you don't have money you not even know airport talkless of getting to abroad and flourish.
Re: Discipline Vs Passion: Which Is More Important For Achieving Your Goals? by Sweetvie: 7:45pm On Jan 31, 2023
Both work together.
You got to be passionate to achieve your goals.
Being passionate makes you enjoy what you're doing... I think that's the zeal to work.

Without discipline you can't go far even if you're passionate... Discipline makes you focus. To achieve your goals you need both, but if am to choose I'll go with discipline.
Re: Discipline Vs Passion: Which Is More Important For Achieving Your Goals? by CaptainFM1: 7:45pm On Jan 31, 2023
Passion may get you the most beautiful girl, but if you're not disciplined, you will still cheat!

Passion may make you all the money you dreamt of, if you're not disciplined, greed will collect all from you!

You may have the passion to fast, but it will take discipline for you not to open the fridge!

Re: Discipline Vs Passion: Which Is More Important For Achieving Your Goals? by Nobody: 7:47pm On Jan 31, 2023
Discipline is more important than passion. You need to be passionate (like) something to do it. But what happens when you get bored of that thing or encounter some difficulties? But in the case of discipline, you don't need to like it. And when you get bored or encounter difficulties, your discipline will make you do it anyway.

Discipline over passion,
I've seen so many passionate people who have done nothing with their passion, asides for talk talk about it.

With discipline, even someone who is not skilled in an art can become a champion, passion is like air, discipline is real. Look at all the champions you know, tell me which one does not have the discipline to work daily on their goals. Listen to me, any skill , any talent can be achieved with the right amount of discipline and intensity, but which passion alone, you're going no where!!

The importance of discipline in other to actualize one's goal(s) in a life filled with distractions and upheavals cannot be overemphasized

Discipline is the main thing in my opinion.

Spaghetti
Sugar
Cement
Now crude oil.

Passion and consistency

Hope u guys know passion is synonymous with encouragement.

Many people that answer before me dnt really know what passion is and many misinterprete displined.

U set up a business bxos u have passion for it, even if profit not coming initially,u will still go and borow to keep it going. If u receives any insult u wouldn't mind but keep it going.

Meanwhile, u will displined urself, not to be sleeping with ur staff, not to spend more than money that u put in business, by waking up early and sleep late.

For those of u talking displine , if u loose passion, that is u re discouraged, even if u re displined by not sleeping with ur female staff, discouragement (loss of passion) will make u close the business with just few insult u receives or the plan profit not forthcoming

Discipline is the greatest weapon a man can possess.
If you’re disciplined as a man, you’ve solved 95% of your problem

It depends on what type of goal you want to achieve. For example; if it's an addiction you want to stop, you need discipline. If it involves growth in business, academics, or professional career you need passion.

Where there is discipline, there is passion but where there is passion, there might not be discipline e.g Ballotelli in football
