What Inspires You?

Last night I had the opportunity to teach on the subject Team Leaders Leadership Expectations during Life Lessons at my Church (#FaithChurch). As I continue to think on this topic I am Inspired to share this:

People often use the terms "inspire" and "motivate" interchangeably. Conceptually they may seem related, but in fact they are worlds apart. "Inspire" translates to "in spirit." Inspiration comes from within. Inspiration pulls you towards something that stirs your heart, mind, or spirit.

When we are filled with inspiration, we often don't need external motivation to move forward. The feeling of purpose and meaning is enough to propel us. When we are void of inspiration, we must seek out ways to keep ourselves moving forward towards a clearly defined end state.

Those without a clear vision, mission, or purpose often require lots of external motivation to keep moving forward.

Those that operate and live from a place of purpose are inspired every day to give 100%. They may get tired, but they can reach back to their higher purpose to be inspired. This is why the most effective leaders are the most inspired leaders - and the most inspirational.

Stay Inspired by engaging with the Holy Spirit.

Read The Word. Pray Daily. Live Uneekly.

Inspiration is a Lifestyle.
