Oh, come on. Enough with the personal development/startup advice bullshit habit of redefining every word to make a point.
Especially when two lines of text later you can read: "If you practice something every day, you're guaranteed to get good at it."
Obsession is a mental activity that consumes people. Discipline to act on this obsession often translate into improvement in the physical world but obsession and motivation alone don't make it. Discipline which brings continuous repeat of the activity is the source of improvement.
Nice story though :)
