Inspiration comes forth from within. It’s what the light burning within you is about, as opposed to motivation, which is doing it because if you don’t do it, there will be negative repercussions. Motivation is making myself do something that I don’t really want to do. Inspiration is having the clear picture of what I am wanting — and letting Universal forces come into play to get the outcome.
Abraham-Hicks, from the workshop in Spokane, WA on July 7, 1999
You don’t motivate individuals. You provide them with an environment to be self-motivated. It is a personal decision, but it’s management’s job to provide the right environment.

Virtue means doing the right thing, in relation to the right person, at the right time, to the right extent, in the right manner, and for the right purpose.

Aristotle
Leap, and the net will appear.
from The Artist’s Way by Julia Cameron
There is no scarcity of opportunity to make a living doing what you love, there is only scarcity of will to make it happen.

from Awaken the Giant Within by Anthony Robbins (about Anthony Robbins)

The finest gift you can give anyone is encouragement. If everyone received the encouragement they need to grow, the genius in most everyone would blossom and the world would produce abundance beyond the wildest dreams.
Sidney Madwed, American speaker and poet
Don’t wait for your “ship to come in” and feel angry and cheated when it doesn’t. Get going with something small.
