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 !

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day.
