I believe that knowing the difference between motivation and inspiration may now shape our thoughts, feelings, and actions moving forward.
Most of us find motivation of different types most days of our lives. We get excited after a great moment and those things we dream of, we take an action that may last for a short time. But how often do we find that we give up?
The ones that don’t give up are the ones that have found the inspiration. It is so much a part of us, we can’t stop until that desire is met. When we are doing what we are truly called to do, once inspired, it is boundless amounts of joy. Our psyche, spirit and essence is home inside inspiration. It becomes a calling and a purpose.
In the world we live in, we definitely need both motivation and inspiration. Motivation is kind of like hope. It is that short burst of energy that gives us a dream. Inspiration is the work to make that dream come true.
Coaching brings both together creating that personal plan tailored just for you. Enthusiasm from motivation tied to the steps needed to make it come true found in the inspiration of your soul’s story. Inspiration will climb over ever rock called an obstacle to reach it’s horizon. To declare what the issues are, to find new ways of thinking about it, to walk one step at a time and answer the whys in your life.
