Inspiration And School

Written By Colēgia

When we think about things such as motivation it's also good to consider what inspires us. For some of us, it's having something to look forward to when waking up. For others, it’s simply an appreciation for life itself and seeing all it has to offer. Today we want to take a look at how inspiration and school are intertwined.

Motivation VS Inspiration

While both of these concepts sound similar there is a key distinction between the two. Motivation can often be described as what pushes you to do something. A good example of this is earning money to buy something that you want. This is a type of extrinsic motivation where the push comes from outside of ourselves. Intrinsic focuses more on the reward of actually doing something. The important thing here is that motivation is usually fueled by logic and reason more than anything else since it relies on having some form of reward. Inspiration is usually defined as what pulls us towards something. One example of this is what leads us towards playing a specific instrument. Could it be the method that it's played? Perhaps the sound it makes? Or the flexibility of how many notes it can play? Each of these serves as some sort of drive that pulls us towards something.

“Inspiration is usually defined as what pulls us towards something.”

Emotions Can Often Be a Better Motivator

Having an emotional connection to something is natural and can be its own way of getting us to do things. Feeling inspired can help us work towards the things we want to do or create. This can be extremely motivating since we can use this energy to put out some of our best work. Having positive feelings associated with something is a good way to ensure that we spend time doing it. It's up to us to find ways to inspire ourselves to do things since we can always find a reason to do so. Ideally, we want to use both inspiration and motivation to help us since both can work in harmony. Sometimes it's a matter of making sure every aspect of our health is taken care of since that can make it easier for us to feel inspired.

How School Fits Into This

School can help us with so many things in life. It teaches us social skills so we can make the most out of our relationships. It allows us to learn more about the things in life we're truly passionate about. It can help us work towards our future career and it can make us into a more well-rounded person. Each of these things is worth feeling inspired over since they can improve the quality of our lives along with providing meaning. School can give us so many unique avenues to better ourselves along with giving us a safe place to do so. Inspiration is unique for each individual and it's up to us to find out what inspires us to be our best possible selves.
