There are two powerful fuels, two forces; motivation and inspiration. To be motivated you need to know what your motives are. Over time - and to sustain you through it - your motivation must become an inner energy; a 'motor' driving you forward, passionately, purposefully, wisely and compassionately.. come what may, every day. Inspiration is an outer - worldly - energy that you breathe and draw in. It may come from many places, faces, spaces and stages - right across the ages. It is where nature, spirit, science, mind and time meet, dance, play and speak. It keeps you outward facing and life embracing. But you must be open-minded and open-hearted to first let it in and then let it out again. Together - blended, combined and re-entwined - motivation and inspiration bring connectivity, productivity, creativity and boundless possibilities that is not just 'self' serving but enriching to all humanity and societies..just as it should be. .Rasheed Ogunlaru
About This Quote
Motivation and Inspiration: What motivates us and inspires us? Over time - and to sustain us through it - our motivation must become an inner energy; a motor driving us forward, passionately, purposefully, wisely and compassionately. It is where we find that connection between the inner and the outer worlds. For many people, motivation is driven by self-interest. They may become motivated to do something if they think it will benefit them in some way.
Motivation is usually driven by ego or pride. It can be very powerful and effective because we usually do not question it. I think we all have a desire to improve ourselves and our lives and if we can find ways to do so than we will want to do so.
Inspiration is the outer - worldly - energy that we breath and draw in. It may come from many places, faces, spaces and stages - right across the ages. It is where nature, spirit, science, mind and time meet, dance, play and speak.
It keeps you outward facing and life embracing. Inspiration can come from many things as well as from one person. Inspiration can come from a person helping you with your project or a person who you admire for their work or even a friend who gives you a little bit of feedback on your work.
The idea of motivation and inspiration together is a great thing for those who want to achieve great things in life as he/she can have both motivation/motivation to have constant inspiration/inspiration throughout their project/work related activities thereby achieving great success for themselves as well as being able to inspire others with their projects/work related activities which will then motivate them to work harder towards the success that they want in their lives.
