Inspiration this week was a little bit harder to think about because I feel like the past two weeks I have really stepped out of my comfort zone and branch out. Then I realized I needed to be inspired to work harder in the classroom. We are hitting that point of the semester where it is becoming increasingly harder to continue to push myself to apply myself to each class and give my max effort in each to succeed. 6 am workouts are beginning to take a toll on me and I’m finding myself very lazy during the day. So I decided to basically interview my mom about how she goes about her work life.
My mom works at a computer software company and we usually don’t talk about her work because it is too confusing to me. I decided to interview her because she wakes up at 5 am everyday to get to work and works til about 5 pm. I wanted to know what has kept her so motivated to get up and work every single day and not have a lack in production. After the conversation I learned a lot about what drives her, which is mainly fear of letting herself down, and she is able to have that mindset. She sets out personal goals for herself weekly to meet a certain deadline or get a deal done, because she never wants to be satisfied with her performance. This inspired me to set little goals for myself for each class so I was motivated to let myself slip through the cracks the rest of the semester. I feel as though this fuel me coming back from spring break and as spring ball starts.
