Motivation vs. Inspiration

By
Real Estate Agent with Everest Realty Group
The dictionary defines motivation as, provided with a motive or an incentive for action. This assumes that you have to be persuaded. You need something to get you into action. In other words, you do not want to move willingly towards your objective. Inspiration is defined as aroused, animated or imbued with the spirit to do something. In other words, you experience a calling. Your work is effortless as it relates to your end result. You are pulled forward and you experience elation. Anthony Robbins tells us that the only reason we don’t have or do the things we want to have or do is because of the story we have around that thing. If we change our story around our goals we can be inspired and move willingly and effortlessly towards them.

Hi Rolando,  Wow, those are powerful words.  I like inspiration better.  Thanks for pointing out the difference.  The story around my goals sounds pretty simple to revise or "focus" on.  Maybe we have multiple stories but we if we focus on the un-inspirational aspect we don't get where we want to go. Focus on the positively wonderful reasons :) 

p.s.  nice first post :)  good job...keep it up :)
