Lisa,

“when in service to a long term ‘inspired’ goal you have to slog through a difficult or uninspired period”

Haha, that’s an interesting way to put it. I know what you mean. It takes some time to manifest things in this physical world, and inspiration can wear off. As long as you know what you are doing — that you are putting your energy into something that matters to you — using a bit of motivation is fine, I guess.

Hi Amanda,

Right. We certainly don’t want to be lazy, doing only things we “feel like” doing. We need a level of discipline. But I just hope the whole discipline to follow through things is based on one’s own inspiration, not on a motivation that was sold to them.
