Motivation vs Inspiration

By definition these two words are not one in the same however they can be used synonymously. Motivation for one is that which pushes you to complete something which you have already started. Your inspiration on the other hand usually refers to that which persuaded you to begin a task in the first place. When further analyzed, lines can be drawn that connect these two terms. For instance, somebody whom was your inspiration to become a doctor and save lives can continue to motivate you as time progresses because they are not having a very calm and helpful experience themselves. A situation where they are not the same may for example be, an adult figure who occupied much of your early life inspiring you to pursue the same career choice as them while you only continue to chase these goals because you are motivated by the frustration of a home situation or maybe you just like to prove those who doubted you wrong.

               Whatever the case is, both will help you go forth and accomplish great, or terrible; things in life. Yes, I clearly stated that there can be negative forces which taunt you into harmful choices. The path you follow is of your own choosing.
