"Motivation is of the ego and Inspiration is of the soul."

Hmmm.. That's interesting. Going to have to ponder on that a bit..

Really loved the longfellow poem!
Also that TEDTalks video was really fascinating too! That lady is a great speaker! She kept me glued and helped me laugh a bunch too! Sorta similar to you. :) I think you have great messages to convey, but you also have a good sense of humor and often have me chuckling as well. I appreciate that! :D Life can get a bit serious, so it's good to laugh at times.

As we delve further into the subject matter we can see that the theme of inspiration and life purpose are intertwined. Remember, when we listen to the whispers of our soul voice is when we find our inspiration and life purpose.

Well said! When I tap into my arts, I think I'm tapping into a similar place as you do when you do your card readings, I definitely often feel like it's not even my own thoughts, that I'm somehow just like a radio receiver pulling it from elsewhere. It's kinda bizarre.. But that's the truth.. It does seem like there's a place a lot of artists and peoples pull from.. The "soul voice" as you call it, perhaps a window into our divinity.. If only we could tap into it with more control and awareness as a collective, I think the world would be a better place!
Another great entry eaglespirit! Thanks for sharing your wisdom with us. :)
