Inspiration vs Motivation

We often use the words inspiration and motivation in sales, business and sports. Here is a brief clarifying definition for each.

Inspiration:

  • Inspiration is the process of being mentally stimulated to do or feel something, especially to do something creative.
  • Something that makes someone want to do something or that gives someone an idea about what to do or create.
  • A force or influence that inspires someone.  
  • The quality of being inspired, especially when evident in something.
  • A sudden brilliant, creative, or timely idea.

Versus

Motivation:

  • Motivation is the process that initiates, guides, and maintains goal-oriented behaviors.  
  • The reason or reasons one has for acting or behaving in a particular way.
  • The general desire or willingness of someone to do something.

Here’s to you being both inspired and motivated!
