The Source and Structure of Inspiration

The Source and Structure of Inspiration

What motivates you and inspires you in life?

While motivation is something that you feel inside, inspiration is taken from an outside source and is something that compels you to take action.  And while having a motive, or reason, to do something, or finding inspiration to lead you to that motive are both helpful tools for accomplishing your goals, there's got to be something else that gets you through the times when those two forces don't quite cut it.

Check out the episode to learn:

  • Why you can't just rely solely on motivation and inspiration if you want to reach your goals
  • 2 Key Tools to use when motivation isn't enough
  • What James calls “The Constant” and how it separates those that DO from those that wish.
