Motivation vs. Inspiration

 

Motivation is driven by earthly desire and a need to gain self-satisfaction.
Inspiration is driven by heavenly success and a desire to please God.

Motivation is like showering or brushing your teeth – you need to do it every day.
Inspiration happens once and is there forever.

Motivation can be broken.
Inspiration can be blocked but never truly goes away.

Motivation ends during tough of inconvenient times.
Inspiration endures hardship and failure.

Motivation yields to excuses.
Inspiration will not stop until it sees results.

Motivation is like tiptoeing into a cold pool.
Inspiration gives you the courage to dive right in, take the leap, and go for it.

Motivation changes with changing emotions.
Inspiration is stronger than a particular feeling at a particular moment.

Motivation takes no effort of focus.
Inspiration takes the effort of focusing on God and the responsibilities we all have.

Motivation creates the discipline and interest to change temporarily.
Inspiration creates the obedience to change permanently.

Motivation is driven by a love for self.
Inspiration is driven by a love for God. *

* Body By God, Dr. Ben Lerner
