Why I Look to Career Influencers For Motivation
Alastair Humphreys

Some people prefer to get their motivation from listening to music, exercising, or even past experiences. I, however, get my motivation from reading articles and watching inspirational videos online. My main goal is to keep leveling towards my highest potential and to become an influencer along the way.

What is an influencer?

According to Influencer Analysis,

"An influencer is an individual who has above-average impact on a specific niche process. Influencers are normal people, who are often connected to key roles of media outlets, consumer groups, industry associations or community tribes."

I strive to be the motivation to someone else one day. Goals much?

When I can't seem to focus on my work and I feel like being in college is taking a toll on my mentality, I get on the internet. Yes, I prefer e-books over paperbacks. My eyes are just attracted to the light and it keeps my attention. The internet has played an important role in how I go about my actions and thoughts everyday. Throughout the day my best friend Google has linked my to so many articles and quotes that could help me in any situation. Motivational speakers on TEDTalks has become a go-to of mine. These men and women are entrepreneurs, inspirational leaders, and talented individuals that are not afraid to share their secrets to success. Being The route to being successful should not be a selfish process, how else would you gain a following?

I often find myself on pages such as Forbes, Business Insider, How To,Odyssey, and LinkedIn for inspiration. These have helped me with resume building, branding, personal growth, and even social relationships. I'm sure you would also love to know how you can better yourself in every way each day. These are just a few of the many, many sites that has helped me out.

It's not about how many sites you look up a day or post on Instagram, it's all about how you take that information and make it happen. Your name and reputation is all you will have that really matters in life. Teach yourself something new today that will better you tomorrow and moving forward. Make the decision to #BossUp today, now, and forever !

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
