Appreciation vs. Gratitude - InSpiration vs. Motivation
Appreciation comes from True Vision. It is the definition of Forgiveness. I speak from ONE eternal Presence beyond Illusion of dualism. Gratitude comes from the confused perspective of separation... It implies there is an opposite judgment and therefore a struggle. Appreciation is Always for All that is. To have gratitude for All that is is to feel separate from it... To be in Appreciation for All that IS is natural and effortless... It is what is simply happening out of Self Awareness.
Inspiration - To be Inspirit is to be As you are Naturally, which is Appreciation. Appreciation is expansion and is all you eternally are. Gratitude is to grab onto and is a limitation-contraction.
To be motivated is to be dualistic... It is based on an action of doing for result. Motivated for what? Does this not imply a beginning and an end result? To be InSpirited is to simply Be. If there is an action that arises, it comes from being. In Spirit you are in eternal Appreciation, Knowing what is IS and what IS is Always... and this, you rest within.
"I am motivated to feel gratitude to get out of my poverty." What can change in this? Are you not going to simply be digging out of poverty forever? Or at least until you see the Illusion of poverty and allow what eternally is always in effortless Appreciation? "I am Inspired feeling Appreciation for All that IS," or "I am motivated feeling gratitude for All that IS," --- which question holds guilt-shame-fear in it?
