To aspire is to have an ambition to reach or achieve something. It is an internal motivation.
To inspire, is about something that happens externally where a person is inspired by someone or something else. It is an external motivation.
If both inspiration and aspiration are missing from our lives, we become disengaged. There needs to be some level of inspiration and aspiration to bring back that spark in our lives.
Without aspiration, inspiration is sporadic, irregular or iscolated. We need to move beyond the moments of inspiration.
With aspiration, we see the big picture, believe what is possible and take the necessary actions to fullfill the dream.
By working on our inward motivation – what we aspire to do – stirs inspiration in others to join in.
