Motivation

I have been holding on to this blog for a while…but we are half through Black Music Month and on the brink of Juneteenth, so why not release it!!

Cues T.I. - Motivation

I recently had a student ask me what kept me motivated to pursue multiple degrees and what kept me going. I have been wanting to write a miniseries about my different tactics to stay motivated, so I guess this was the push I needed to get the ball rolling.

Listen, we all need motivation and we all find it in different things. I typically lean towards music; music gets me going and is my love language!

Depending on what I am trying to accomplish, I have “go to” songs that really get me going!

In the morning on the way to work, I like to listen to Happy Feelings by Frankie Beverly and Maze; I even shared it with my department recently.

Aside from the amazing musical compilation, it's a very positive song. It really digs into spreading happy feelings to all and its contagious!!

The words speak for themselves:

I'm gonna tell all I see

These happy feelin's (feel that happy feelin's

I spread them all over the world

From deep in my soul

For the rest of the month, I will be breaking down songs and what they mean to me. At the end of the month, lets come together and make a playlist….with that said, what songs motivate you?
