1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,600
Speaker 1: I'm always asking questions. The reason why is because the

2
00:00:02,600 --> 00:00:05,360
fund begins when you start researching for answers such as

3
00:00:05,519 --> 00:00:09,320
what inspires the average person these days? Or is it influence?

4
00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:12,119
Plus we're going to break down the difference between the

5
00:00:12,119 --> 00:00:16,199
two of them, inspiration versus influence. My name is Errow.

6
00:00:16,239 --> 00:00:18,640
I'm a daily writer, a silent wolf. That means I

7
00:00:18,679 --> 00:00:21,519
stand on the sidelines and do nothing but watch, listen, study,

8
00:00:21,559 --> 00:00:24,839
then activate. I call it the daily mess, a chronological

9
00:00:24,879 --> 00:00:27,160
walk through an everyday world. Yep, it's my morning writing.

10
00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:29,960
As a receiver of thoughts and ideas, we as people

11
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:32,039
tend to throw it to the side and deal with

12
00:00:32,079 --> 00:00:34,320
it later, while when a subject arrives inside of me,

13
00:00:34,679 --> 00:00:37,240
I know it's time to dig in. It's still keeping

14
00:00:37,320 --> 00:00:40,640
a journal, but by doing the research the picture becomes clearer.

15
00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:45,320
This is the daily mess. What inspires the average person today?

16
00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:49,320
Most are influence before making any decision to make a move. Well,

17
00:00:49,359 --> 00:00:53,000
let's start with the Dictionary definition of influence the capability

18
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:55,880
to have an effect on the character, development, and behavior

19
00:00:55,920 --> 00:00:59,359
of something or someone. But that's not the origin of

20
00:00:59,399 --> 00:01:02,320
the question. The word I chose to use was inspire,

21
00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:06,560
not influence. Are they one and the same. Research clearly

22
00:01:06,599 --> 00:01:10,719
states they are not the same. While both involved the

23
00:01:10,719 --> 00:01:13,920
effect they have on a person. Influence is about exerting

24
00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:17,439
a direct force or control, while inspiration is about motivating

25
00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:21,560
and or encouraging others to actions of their own. Influence

26
00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:24,799
is a form of persuasion, while inspiration is the act

27
00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:28,519
of tapping into someone's emotions. A great example, my music

28
00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:32,239
interviews were heavily inspired by Casey Kasem on American Top forty,

29
00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:35,760
but he personally did nothing to influence me to create

30
00:01:35,799 --> 00:01:39,239
my multiple podcasts connected to all things entertainment. Now, what

31
00:01:39,359 --> 00:01:42,159
about you? How did you really get to that dot

32
00:01:42,519 --> 00:01:46,040
on the map? Coming up next, let's break it down

33
00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:56,040
inspiration versus influence. Hey, welcome back to the Daily Mess.

34
00:01:56,480 --> 00:02:00,760
Breaking down influence and inspiration. How can we identify the

35
00:02:00,799 --> 00:02:05,000
real difference? First, Influence is about getting someone to do something.

36
00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:08,639
Inspiration is motivation in the way of getting someone to

37
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:12,599
want to do something. I can't tell someone to love

38
00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:16,520
their grocery store job, but through my positive actions and reactions,

39
00:02:16,599 --> 00:02:19,000
someone might be influenced to take a different look at

40
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:23,159
their loyalty and determination within the store. Influence has a

41
00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:26,560
goal or intent as an influencer. They want to cause

42
00:02:26,599 --> 00:02:31,000
a specific change or outcome. It's an active and intentional process.

43
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:34,199
Inspiration comes from a personal experience and or a source

44
00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:37,879
that evokes emotion and a sense of possibility. It may

45
00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:40,960
not have a specific intent or goal, but rather a

46
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:44,879
desire to evoke emotion and a sense of possibility. It's

47
00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:48,000
a passive process which allows the individual to take the

48
00:02:48,039 --> 00:02:52,919
initiative to act upon based on their personal inspiration. Influence

49
00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:57,240
versus inspiration. Knowing the difference means opening up your heart

50
00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:01,919
and your head, Merril, And that's the daily mess
