Motivation vs. Inspiration
A reason to push through versus a spark that pulls you forward.
The comparisoni
“My motivation is the deadline — inspiration would be the idea itself, something that draws you in rather than pushes you.”
The ruleii
¶
MOTIVATION = push. INSPIRATION = pull.
MOTIVATION is the force that gets you to act — often external (deadlines, paycheques) or practical. INSPIRATION is the spark of idea or emotion — often internal and aesthetic. Motivation pushes; inspiration pulls.
Memory aidiii
Remember it like this
Motivation pushes. Inspiration pulls.
