Let me guide you and cross the finish lines of your real estate goals, putting dollars in your pocket and teaching you how to have the personal life of your dreams still. In today's video, I will define inspired action and how to know when you're not operating from a place of inspired action. Inspired actions are being guided from within. Inspired action never feels forced, and you never find yourself avoiding it. It is an action that comes from a sense of joy and wanting to do what you are doing. It's the kind of action that you're always looking forward to. You always make time for and lose track of time while doing it. You've probably heard that a flow state is when the action comes easily and freely, fueled by energetically tapping into a source of inspiration. In essence, it is another way of saying inspired action. You want to aim for a flow state or inspired action in your game.

If you're not acting from inspired action, you dread the work, avoid the action, and procrastinate. You make yourself busy with anything and everything else. Also, inspiration and motivation are different. Though many people make the mistake of thinking they are the same thing. They are fundamentally different. Inspiration is innately prompted from within; motivation, on the other hand, is external. It is primarily related to ambition motivation, which might encourage you to create a goal in the first place. Many agents are motivated, but only a few are inspired and acting and inspired action. This is important because inspired steps will guide you to reach your goals. Here's an example to explain this further: you might be promised that if you hit X goal, you will be rewarded.

You want that reward, which is your carrot, and the carrot drives you. However, what will fuel you to keep going once you achieve that goal and receive your bonus? Your motivation is gone. Nothing inside was inspiring your action. It was just an external reward that motivated you. Motivation is something that is fleeting and external, and it goes away when the reward arrives. What happens when the carrot is no longer there? Your efforts will dissipate. Nothing within you drove your action, and you didn't honestly want to be doing what you were doing. You just wanted the reward.

The definition of motivation is the act or process of giving someone or reason for doing something. Inspiration, on the other hand, lives inside of you. It's innate and not simply associated with reaching a reward. It doesn't need an external reason because it's how you feel inspired. Action is doing something expressing what you feel called to do. You were motivated by money and not working for something when you were working. When you're inspired, you work for more than external rewards.
