Inspiration vs. Internal Motivation
Creative 2020 / Finalists
Inspiration motivates a person and brings him to new heights, but only externally. Real accomplishments are obtained through one’s own efforts. The level of a person after one has toiled and struggled are much greater and deeper than if it was as a result of an outside influence. Divine inspiration changes nature, but internal motivation changes human nature.
