I have determination in the sense that I will persist to accomplish what I have decided to do. But, I don’t necessarily consider it willpower, per se.

Often I will accomplish my task through denial of pleasures. I know what I need to do but I have a horrible time being motivated. Does this ring true with anyone?

I believe I lack self discipline or self motivation. But yet, as I said above, I am capable of persistence and/or determination.

I’m confused. Discussion anyone?
