INSPIRATION AND MOTIVATION

  WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN INSPIRATION AND MOTIVATION

 

               I CONDUCT SEMINARS INTERNATIONALLY AND PEOPLE OFTEN ASK ME IF I CAN MOTIVATE OTHERS. THE ANSWER IS NO, I CANNOT, PEOPLE MOTIVATE THEMSELVES. WHAT I CAN DO, HOWEVER IS INSPIRE THEM TO MOTIVATE THEMSELVES. PEOPLE CAN CREATE AN ENVIRONMENT THAT IS MOTIVATING.

             INSPIRATION IS THOUGHT: MOTIVATION IS ACTION. WHEN THINKING CHANGES IT REFLECT IN BEHAVIOUR. IN ORDER TO INSPIRE PEOPLE TO MOTIVATE THEMSELVES WE NEED TO UNDERSTAND THEIR NEEDS AND WANTS.

            WHAT IS THE GREATEST MOTIVATOR? IS IT MONEY? RECOGNITION? IMPROVEMENT IN OUR QUALITY OF LIFE? ACCEPTANCE BY THOSE WE LOVE? ALL OF THESE CAN BE MOTIVATING FORCES. 

            PEOPLE WILL DO A LOT FOR MONEY, MORE FOR A GOOD LEADER, BUT DO THE MOST FOR A BELIEF. PEOPLE DIE FOR THEIR BELIEFS. THIS HAPPENS EVERY DAY, ALL OVER THE WORLD. WHEN WE BELIEVE THAT WE ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR OUR LIVES AND OUR BEHAVIOUR, OUR OUTLOOK TOWARDS LIFE CHANGES FOR THE BETTER.

           MOTIVATION IS LIKE FIRE- UNLESS YOU KEEP ADDING FUEL TO IT, IT DIES. YOUR FUEL IN YOUR INNER VALUES. WHEN THIS BELIEF IN INNER VALUES FEEDS YOUR MOTIVATION, YOUR MOTIVATION BECOMES LONG LASTING..
