The Difference Between Inspiration and Motivation: Why They Are Important to Your Success

What is inspiration? The Merriam Webster dictionary says inspiration is “The act or process of being affected by a higher power and being convinced that one has been given ideas or feelings that one does not know have come from oneself.” What this means is that inspiration is the process of being affected by something or someone, and it leads to you creating something new. Think of it as being moved to create or produce something new or original, like a painting or a book. In business, it’s the idea that gives you the passion to start your own business. Inspiration often occurs when you’ve been exposed to something new that has excited you. This is where your imagination kicks in and you start coming up with ideas and ways to utilize the new information you’ve been given. It’s that sudden burst of creativity. Your imagination starts to run wild and you feel a rush of energy. You feel excited, motivated, and ready to take on the world. These are the signs that you’ve been inspired.
