Beginnings

It is really funny for me to type beginnings this late in the game, but: My work on my masterpiece COULD be starting a new chapter in my life in a couple different ways. As I look at motivation and what gets people though the day, I get ideas on how to take their motivation and use it as my own. Rather, I get ideas on why I am not as motivated as them and how I could start to be. However, as I delve deeper into the subject, it becomes more and more apparent that you need to find motivation within you do achieve what you want. You need to find what makes you click, just as we were asked to do with our masterpieces. If you feel as if nothing can or ever will motivate you to succeed, I hope that the video I am making that deals with motivation will serve as a guide or at least give you some ideas on what it feels like to have motivation. We only have a limited time on this earth, and even less time to be youthful. Today is the best day of your life to learn, why waste it by being a potato in every aspect of it? If there was one thing I could tell you at this moment to help you through I would say just keep trying, life will usually find ways to work itself out but only if you continue on and don't give up. This is something I've had to learn the hard way.

Raising Digital Awareness

         It is important to draw as many viewers to you site as possible because you should be posting valuable content that is useful to a visitor. This may be only one certain type of visitor or many, but the point remains the same, you have valuable content and people should be looking at it. I am accommodating my visitors by providing music. I can't really say that I have provided valuable content because I simply don't believe that is true at this point.If at any point it were true, you'd have to scroll back to 2013. I can once again begin posting to my blog a few times a week if I would like to improve the value of my site. If I want to retain a steady flow of visitors, I need to show up again and again. People are not interested in a blogger who posts maybe once or twice a month. It just isn't a good trait. Human ideas and interaction are generally what should be important to a site, but if that site doesn't have the looks and digital tools, people will not be likely to stay or come back. A successful site needs to be easy to navigate, or people will search for their needs elsewhere. 

Connections

5 moments that remind me of my masterpiece throughout the day:
1. I had a conversation with Jon the other day about why he loves writing, I know I am not really showing up to class but his love for writing and motivation towards succeeding in that subject is fascinating and deserves a spot on my list.
2. I was thinking about my grades in my classes and they are, to say the least, GOD AWFUL! This led me to thinking about my motivation that is non existent.
3. There was this little ant that was desperately trying to carry a decently sized crumb alone. I thought of what might motivate him, he is sacrificing himself and his livelihood to feed his colony, intriguing!
4. What is the motivation behind Russia sending troops into Ukraine? I don't know, but everyone has some goal, whether hidden or not.
5. It is truly something that strikes me every day, I will just think about the reason for me to continue living (not suicidal, just wonder what is in store for my life and after).
