"Motivation is an external, temporary high that pushes you forward. Inspiration is a sustainable internal glow which pulls you forward." ~ Thomas Leonard Wow, I like this saying a lot. It's true isn't it? In life, one has to be motivated in able for us to work and succeed but sometimes, it's very hard to motivate our selves and we need an inspiration. Inspiration can be our loved ones, family and friends that gives us that inner strength to pursue success.

Hi dear, There are wonderful quotes. All are meant of the upliftmet of the society. If we act as per the meaning of the quotes it’s fullest, we can achieve a lot of things. But at several times, our surroundings may not help to do so. However, our hard work and the support of the people around can achieve upto a certain extent. We can try our best to reach our destinations. Regards, Thank-s

That is a great quote. I'm finding all kinds of quotes today that I need to save for future use. That said, I think that both motivation and inspiration are equally important in our lives. I think that motivation is important because it is the way that we are able to get things done on a whim. I think inspiration is important because it is what really keeps us going on a day to day basis.

Love this saying. Like the little spark that ignites the whole passion is what this meeting of intrinsic and extrinsic forces is, a definite WOW!
