Motivation at it's strongest

"Life without passion is nothing" 

In the last weeks I have been on the road to reignite my motivation that has seemed to dim since I first started school. I have noticed that my motivation is higher than ever. I have had the time to reflect and really think about what this opportunity can do for my life. After realizing the importance of the opportunity I was given it has refocused my motivation. My motivation has lead me to wanting to know more about the fashion industry and making it my obsession. For the last weeks I had made it a habit to read an article related to fashion at least once a day from websites or magazines to stay updated with the ever changing fashion industry. I have also joined a fashion club on campus to help keep me motivated about fashion I feel like since this journey has started I have become more involved with the fashion department at my school and I have become overall a little more knowledgeable about the fashion industry.

My experiences are my driving force and my motivation.

"Everyone is tested by life, but only a few extract strength and wisdom 

from their most trying experiences. They’re the ones we call leaders." 

My motivation is driven by my past experiences they are the driving forces that keep me motivated to continue on this path to becoming infatuated with the Fashion Industry and becoming successful in this industry. When I first started this journey at The Art Institute of San Francisco I was highly motivated because I took the chance to pursue something that I wanted not something that someone else wanted me to pursue. All my life I wanted to please others but when I had to make the choice of what I wanted for the rest of my life I chose to something for me once. Since then I feel that I have gotten comfortable and my motivation isn't as high as it was when I first started. Lately I have a new experience that has refueled my motivation. One of my teachers Mr. Rosen gave me tough love on one of my assignments. I had made a book from hand for his Fashion Show Production he gave me some really harsh feedback that put me into tears. He knew that I had great potential but my execution of the work wasn't up to par. In that very moment I had two options either take his criticism or ignore it. I went back and redid my entire assignment and got an A on my assignment. He told me we should not look at our assignments as just an homework assignment but as a future potential opportunity for us. We could use that project to really develop them into reality to benefit us. I needed this experience to re-look and reflect on why I am here. This fueled my motivation to try to exceed in my projects and look at them as a opportunity to do something great. 

Taking that idea and making it your life

"Take up one idea. Make that one idea your life - think of it, dream of it, live on that idea. Let the brain, muscles, nerves, every part of your body, be full of that idea, and just leave every other idea alone. This is the way to success." ~Swami Vivekananda

This quote explains exactly what I am trying to do I want to motivate myself to make my career obsession. All I want to do is eat, breathe, and dream of fashion so that I can become more knowledgeable about the fashion. Last week to build my motivation I joined a fashion club. The first week we had to research on some of the biggest names of the fashion industry that we needed to know and give a small presentation. This  week I decided that I need to read at least one article that had to be related to the fashion industry. One website that I decided to read articles was from Hypebeast. They are an online website that gives you daily articles about  Men's Fashion Industry.This way I will stay up to date with whats happening in the men's side of fashion like up in coming designers, recent collections dropped, new stores, industry people, and trends. I read an article talking about Supreme
2014 Fall/Winter Collection. 

Fashion isn't a world it is an obsession

Last week I had decided that wanted to re-awaken my motivation that keeps me going to school. This week I took the initiative to start building up my motivation by signing up and attending a fashion club at my school The Art Institute of San Francisco. I had decided to join this club because I feel like this will help me become more involved with my schools fashion scene. It will get motivated to help complete our clubs projects and help me become more knowledgeable about what goes on in the fashion industry that we might not cover in some of my classes.
