Difference between motivation and inspiration - Motivation is external and short lived. Inspiration is internal and lifelong

Sri Sri Ravi Shankar

There's so many things to explore in life, and if you don't have that inspiration or motivation to do it, then don't force yourself. Take that time to do whatever else you need to do. That inspiration or motivation will always come back and when it does, it's always stronger.

Chris Sharma

Alexander Hamilton

There is a difference between motivation and inspiration. Motivation is when you get hold of an idea and don't let go of it until you make it a reality. Inspiration is the reverse-when an idea gets hold of you and you feel compelled to let that impulse or energy carry you along. You get to a point where you realize that you're no longer in charge, that there's a driving force inside you that can't be stopped.

Wayne Dyer

There's a big difference between motivation and inspiration: Inspire through values and motivation takes care of itself.

Tony Hsieh

John C. Maxwell
