Truer words! (haha is that saying? I think it is, right?)
Discipline sucks, but the results it brings are amazing. I've actually tried gratitude journal in the past, but much like yourself didn't stick with it too much. I don't know why this time was different, I think it's mostly because doing something first thing in the morning is easier than at the and of the day. Also, whenever I didn't do my writing, I didn't treat it as falling off the horse, and started back up again fast.
