I used to think that I needed the motivation to do things-you know things like working out and eating better.
I’d look to my super-fit friends and think “Gosh if only I was motivated to do those things…”
Turns out it’s not about motivation at all…it’s ALL about inspiration.
Here’s why…
When we are motivated to do something, it’s likely from some external source. We follow in someone else’s footsteps because we see the results they are getting and we want the same for ourselves.
Seems logical, but the problem with motivation is that it doesn’t last. The fire we initially feel may last a few days, but then slowly our energy wains and we are back where we started.
Now inspiration is something entirely different.
Inspiration in my experience has always been that quiet voice or nudge I feel inside that says “Oh yeah that’s a great idea.” It may not have as much fuel and fire as motivation does initially, but it lasts much longer.
Not only that, it also is typically connected with other inspirational thoughts and nudges that keep you going.
Imagine for a second you are an author writing a book. Do you look for the motivation to write the book or do you have the inspired thoughts come through that cause you to begin writing? Chances are it’s the inspiration that sends you back to the page.
The same thing works with how we create a life we love. It’s not about being motivated to get stuff done or to move forward on our path. It’s the sometimes whispers of inspiration that lead us to take action.
Does motivation work? Yes to get you started, but if you are forcing yourself to keep going then it likely won’t last long. And it will be a long, hard road to get to where you going and nobody wants that.
Inspiration on the other hand feels natural, much easier, and it flows. At times when I am following my inspiration, it just feels like a no-brainer thing to do. No stress, worry, or struggle. Just EASE.
Now, doesn’t that sound better than working, pushing, and forcing things after your motivation wears off?
For some it sounds too good to be true, but I guarantee that inspiration works and it’s the best way to make your dreams come true.
It’s what I teach all of my clients and what I’d love to teach you.
