Inspiration vs. Motivation

By
Education & Training with Berman & Pollinger, LLC.

 

Just a short thought of the day to ponder -

When you're inspired, you don't need motivation as much. When you're inspired, your internal "system" is touched to its core and it lasts for at least a year, or often a lifetime. When you're motivated, it's generally temporary, because only your ego or instinct is touched. When you're inspired, you are more yourself. When you are motivated, you become excited about acquiring (greed) or becoming like someone else, such as a public figure or a celebrity. You are cranked up, but your enthusiasm fades when you're out of the motivating environment or relationship. Motivation is an external, temporary high. Inspiration is an internal glow.

 

 

Carpe diem,

Chris

This is why I have loved my coach for the past three years, he both motivates and inspires. I am worried right now that maybe next year I won't have his motivation, but only his memory.

He will still inspire me, but I will miss his motivation.
