Snippets Of Wisdom #28: Motivation Vs Inspiration

Snippets of Wisdom.

Motivation versus Inspiration.

Do you need more motivation?

Does it seem like your zest for what you're doing fizzles out quickly?

Do you find yourself having to push through and force yourself to stay motivated to accomplish things?

When we only work with motivation,

We certainly will fizzle out.

The energy of motivation is a lower energy use of sheer determination and willpower.

Can you imagine the negative energy that it carries?

Motivation is based on the condition of outcomes.

What happens to your motivation when the conditions change?

Does it blow up in your face?

What if I told you if you want more motivation,

Self-love is your inspiration and activator?

Motivation is nice and all,

But what if you gave it your all and it still didn't work?

What then?

When you're out of motivation,

Turn to self-love for new inspiration.

Self-love is a motivating activator.

You get inspired to do all the things because you're so devoted to yourself that the outcome doesn't really matter.

Loving yourself and receiving the inspired action steps is what matters most.

The exhilaration of being energized and activated is what makes it all worth it.

Being devoted to yourself is showing yourself love,

Loyalty,

And enthusiasm for what you're doing.

It brings the wellspring of life flowing through you.

You can't wait to get to the project or task.

You may even lose track of time because you're enjoying yourself.

Who needs motivation when you have inspiration?

But you can only get to a level of inspiration by being in spirit,

By being connected and fully aligned with your inner being who loves and adores you,

Who is cheering you on and flowing energy to you and through you.

You only get there by self-love.

Guess what motivation doesn't have?

Self-love.

Spend a little time daily in self-love practice and watch the inspiration begin to emerge.

Watch your activities soar with fun,

Creativity,

And innovation.

You'll no longer need to kick in the pants to get yourself motivated.

You'll have inspiration through a practice of self-love.

Want more inspiration?

Commit to a daily practice of meditation,

Prayer,

Or listening to another talk in the Snippet of Wisdom series.

We'll see you tomorrow.

Big hugs,

Marianne.
