what do you think the difference is between motivation and inspiration do
you think there is a difference what if I told you that the reason that people
don't reach their long-term goals is because of the difference between
motivation and inspiration welcome back my name is John and if you are new here
this channel is for motivation it is for inspiration it's for those of you who
are looking for like-minded people in which to share your experiences he out
here on YouTube and in life and if that sounds like your kind of thing please
make sure you click that red subscribe button click that bell so you get
notified each and every time I upload new content if you like this video
please make sure you hit that thumbs up so because of the purpose of this
channel I talk about motivation and inspiration quite a bit they come up a
lot in my personal life but I see them out on YouTube being used almost
interchangeably as though they're the same word with the new years rolling
around we all know that everyone starts to get amped up they start setting goals
I know that I do they rarely pan out I just like to do that at the end of the
year and we all know that there are tons of memes tons of jokes that people just
kind of smile and laugh off all of these goals and things that they're gonna do
for the next year but why is that why do we all find it funny when we just all
arbitrarily set goals at the beginning of each year why do you think so many
weight loss goals are not hit and so many gym memberships go unused I believe
it is because motivation comes from an external source and inspiration comes
from deep with inside of you and look all of us need motivation and
inspiration at some point in our life to get us to whatever goal we're trying to
get to see for me ultra running is something that I'm inspired to do it is
inside of me it is part of who I am and I don't need to be inspired or pushed
into doing that motivation is what helps me get up and do the thing get up every
single day and and come down to the basement and run and do the things at
the eleven o'clock at night you know running 10 miles at 11 o'clock at night
or 12 o'clock at night that takes motivation I have to get myself amped up
I need to watch something I need to get myself really kind of just pumped up to
do that it's a completely different thing than being inspired to do
something literally the difference between motivation and inspiration is
motivation is something that you feel that you need to do like I need to come
down at the basement to run or I'm going to be hurting in that race inspiration
is doing something I truly want to do what
run the race that's the difference I'm inspired to run the race I don't need to
be motivated to do that I need to be motivated to do the thing we all need to
be motivated to do the little short term goals every single day we need to get to
that long-term goal whatever it is we need to do you know college you have to
break that off in small parts but you need motivation to kind of push you
through those smaller parts you need to be inspired to do it to to even sign up
to go through with the thing motivation refers to the act of stimulating someone
to act in a definite way to achieve a goal inspiration is the act of
influencing someone whether it be through emotions or something deep
inside of them to achieve a goal and like I said motivation is usually gonna
kind of be a short-term thing I need to be motivated in short spurts to do the
things that I got to do every single day to get to my longer-term goal
inspiration really is that long-term everlasting pulling force that is
usually met with more excitement and joy when you think about them I get happy
when they think about finishing the 50-mile race or the 24 hour race I get
happy about that or I get happy about finishing my masters that makes me happy
I'm not so happy when I think about doing the class or the paper or running
the you know back-to-back long runs you know 15 mile or on of Saturday and a 25
mile or on a Sunday I don't look forward to that those are miserable but the
inspiration behind all of it is finishing the thing and that's what
keeps me going doing the long term thing and to wrap this up that long term
success achieving that long term goal that we all want really is about tapping
that thing deep inside of you when I mentioned at the beginning that most
people who don't achieve the long-term thing fail to really differentiate
between motivation and inspiration you can't just get there by always just
trying to motivate yourself through something if you are not truly inspired
to do the long-term thing that may take a year or two to finish or six months
whatever it is I want whatever's long-term for you for that goal you have
to tap into that thing deep down inside you just do that and you need to tap
into motivation to achieve the smaller goals but you have to be inspired you
have to be able to dig deep to be able to sustain the long
term things that you need to do to achieve the things you want to do in
life all right that's all I have for you guys I just had this on my mind again
with with New Year's rolling around and with the goals that I have and the
things that I have to try to achieve for this year I know what I got to I got a
lot of hard stuff I got a long hard road ahead of me and weight loss and
ultra running it's just I'm excited about it and I'm excited to share that
with you and I'm excited to share the thoughts that I have as I kind of unpack
this again for myself what is your inspiration whether it be your kids
school painting singing videos vlogging running whatever it is you do I'd really
like to hear whatever your interests is please leave it down below let me know
what you do that is all I have thanks for watching until next time I
will see you far away on this one
