Default Running on the spot?

Hi everyone,
I have a little dilemma here and I'm not sure how to handle it, I've tried many different varriations and approaches to solving it, but I'm still not entirely sure what it is;
Since I've discovered the self-discipline articles on Steve's Blog, my main objective was to achieve total discipline. I always used to tell myself, that if I was disciplined I could achieve anything, because no emotion of "not feeling like it" would stop me. So, here I am now almost a year since I've discovered the Blog, I've gone from doing pretty much nothing to getting up early, doing exercises, revising goals, 2 hours of drawing, etc - So everything seems nice and swell, but I kinda feel like I'm running on the spot, I have my daily plan with the regular tasks at hand to improve my chosen skills and I've been doing this since a while, but it doesn't feel like I'm making much progress, I don't mean within the skills but more Personal development wise. My level of discipline seems to have reached this hight and won't go any further. Is it because I miss a day or two within my 30 day trail? Does it have to be perfect? Are my weights to light? Sometimes I think it's because I don't have any like minded people around me (not that that's gonna stop me ) but my friends either, kind of avoid talking about PD or they my even hinder me in doing my plan (not harm intended) But there's no support. So, yeah currently there's a lot of hair pulling & teeth gnashing involved =P
I'm not sure what to do...I'd appreciate any ideas, insights.

Thx
