Living Motivation vs Inspiration

Motivation is goal oriented and is only realized when the goal is achieved. Others often judge us as by how we are doing on our path and we might feel the compunction to buy prestigious stuff so that it looks like we are doing well.

We often identify ourselves with our goals and our level of satisfaction and esteem can become identified with them as well. We might say I’ll be happy when I reach my goals.

Failure to achieve goals can result in our loss of self esteem and it may even result in the loss of status in the box (society). If achievement of the goals are expected of us in the box, it could mean the loss of our job or career, like coaching.  Self esteem follows the plunge.

Inspiration is based on a feeling of what we have to do to express ourselves. We already feel connected and special just because we are here and we want an avenue to express our inspiration.  We have high spirits. We are already special in our minds and we are not really concerned about what others think.

Because we are already secure in our identity, we buy what works for us.

We seek to express ourselves in our own endeavors or in a career that gives us more control of our destiny. You can pay a motivated person, but an inspired person is probably not good at something they don’t feel is them. Their principal goal is to enable the continuation of the expression. Obstacles may have to be surmounted  because there is not always monetary remuneration at the start.

The goal is to let the expression go where it will to influence as many people as possible. If it goes nowhere we are no less our selves, we just have to find a different avenue of expression.
