“Inspiration is external and motivation is internal. It is up to me to provide the switch and you to flip it on!”

“Difference between motivation and inspiration - Motivation is external and short lived. Inspiration is internal and lifelong”

“Inspiration fires you up; motivation keeps you burning.”

“And the monkey flips the switch.”

“What you are, and who you are should provide greater clarity about where you have been and where you are headed. Although one distinguishes spiritual from physical nature, the ultimate unification of the two is the consequence of the struggle for internal, external and eternal – peace.”

“I thought that it was possible at a time like that to cry. There was a switch inside somewhere, and a person could just decide to flip it and start crying. Maybe it looked and felt like the toggle switch on the engine. Silver and smooth. One direction was on; the other direction was off. Easy to flip. You do it without looking. Up -- you’re happy and strong. Down – you’re crying and weak.”
