Where do you feel the tug on your heart…the ache in your soul?

These deeper stirrings are what I’ve come to know as little invitations. Invitations to explore and express in new ways.

We often think of these moments as feeling motivated. 

But there’s a distinct difference between being motivated and feeling inspired. So how can you move through your days and identify which is which? Better yet, how can you use inspiration and motivation to realize new outcomes?

That’s what we’re exploring in this week’s episode of Up to Something. 

What You’ll Discover

* What’s the difference between motivation and inspiration

* Why inspiration matters
