Which one do you see as being foundational?

I’ve always viewed motivation as internal and inspiration as external.

Exactly.

Inspiration gets you started; motivation keeps you going.

What are your favorite types of inspiration?
Loading...
I’d say that most of my inspiration comes from my faith, family, and nature. Each of these inspires me to be a better person, take care of myself/others/the earth, and learn from everything I see/experience.

Nature is very high on my list. Even the simple things like leaves falling from the tree and then blooming again in the spring. The scope of the universe. It is awe inspiring.

I’m not sure I understand…

I figure that you take your inspiration from others, but you give motivation to others. I hope I inspire my students as I try to motivate them? 😀
Loading...
Is motivation external or internal? I find motivation to be more internal.

One can be motivated without inspiration, but inspiration gives direction to motivation.

Which comes first?
