Ross asks:
OK, so what creates inspiration/motivation? Or is it innate, you either have it or you don't?
I think in some it inspiration might be a gift, but for the most part it is in one's environment. Often, pain or mental anguish brings inspiration. Raw emotion leads to inspiration. That's why things that subdue emotion have a negative effect on inspiration.
Motivation to succeed is more a part of a person's personality, and therefore, can be considered innate. Whether a person is driven is built into his personality. I think my problem lies here more, in that I'm not driven. Try comparing yourself to the people on that TV show "Driven" and you'll see what I mean. I suppose environment could influence motivation to succeed somewhat. . . This does ask another question: Who/what causes us to believe in ourselves? Perhaps the answer lies with our parents. How they push us to succeed and how they drive themselves.
