Good morning,
I have a workshop called, Life’s Driving Forces. There are 2 kinds of forces that drive us. One is internal and the other external. One of the internal driving forces is inspiration and one of the external driving forces is motivation.
There is a difference between inspiration and motivation. Some people think they are the same. Some people think that inspiration is the opposite of motivation, this is not true.
Inspiration is life giving, energy creating, power enhancing force.
Therefore the opposite of inspiration would be expiration.
Expiration is life taking, energy draining, power depleting force.
To expire is to be no more.
Each moment in life you are born and in the next you die.
An inhalation is inspiration, because you are feeding the body the fuel it needs to LIVE.
An exhalation is expiration because it means the very life force (your breath) leaves your body. This we know as death.
How many times in a single lifetime are you born? Or are you slowly dying each moment? BREATHE. BREATHE. BREATHE.
If you need to start over in life, take a breath. You do not ever have to wait for 1 January 2015 or wait for when conditions are better or right. The time is now.
“If not now, when?” This moment is yours. You cannot go back to the past and create a new present, but you can change the present to make a better future.
Are in inspiring or are you expiring? Yes we must physically die, but the soul within you is eternal. When you are inspired you identify with that soul and you life like you a treasure of the Universe where all things are possible (with God). When you are expiring, you identify with the body and ego and you feel like a trapped being with limited possibilities.
Aspire to Inspire, before you Expire.
I love you.
Love,
H
