Embracing The Enchanted Life

Are the Key words in these two statements interchangable?
I was motivated to stop smoking when I learned of the health risks involved in the habit, the information moved me to action.
The amazing accomplishments of Jack Lalaine has inspired me to reach for a healthier life. Seeing the results of his life inspired me to seek my own wellspring of power.
There is often a confusion of using the words inspire and motivate interchangeable... these two words could not be more different.. by definition

Motivate - to move to cause movement from outside through force or power from an outside source.
One might use the analogy of a football... it is resilient, and strong but it cannot activate itself to action.. The only way that it moves is because an outside force activates it and carries it forth. It can withstand and survive all sorts of obstacles but it still is not powered from within. If the outside force is removed it looses momentum and stops. It does not have the ability to change anything that it encounters except by force and the force is supplied by the outside energy that is applied to it not through it.

Inspire from the root word coil which means to arrange or collect into a shape that is conical in nature. To be come pointed or focused in ones purpose.
One could say that they are inspired to change their experience, to create a masterpiece, to live an Enchanted Life.
One might use the analogy of a spring when thinking of inspiration.
If inspiration is thought of a spring being able to flow effortlessly while being supplied by Source the headwaters, The source lifts and elevates and overflows the spring constantly adding to be the stream of ideas, of goodness of creativity....
Many people speak of the flow and going with the flow or being in the stream.
In order to tap into your Enchanted Life you must become the spring, the stream the source.
When you are the stream you are no longer buffeted by the objects that you encounter, nor do you push against them, instead your action, your essence acts upon all that it encounters, not through its intention but simply by being what it is.
As the stream, Source, there is no need to move the obstacles, the stream moves effortlessly on its way embracing and bathing all that it encounters with the essence of itself. It does not seek to change or move , it flows - It is not going with the flow - it is fed by source and moves as if it is guided by the headwaters.. not because they are directing it but because they continue to feed it.. to source it to give it more of itself.
So it is with us when we are Embracing the Enchanted Life we need not have God or Source direct us so much as fuel us, our only task is to remain open to the essence of being. We through the nature of that essence then have the power to move with ease in all of our actions, knowing that all is always in perfect order. That is the core of Embracing the Enchanted Life.
