Motivation for the Crew
Using your time
Motivation is key when keeping realistic expectations and a positive outlook. It may seem like the whole world is coming apart; inclement weather, unstable financial market, faulty relationships, and horrid job. We have but one thing to remember as sailors of life, we are here, to meet, and rise above and conquer every challenge that we happen upon during the adventure we call life.
First, we must learn to use time in all its aspects, fluidly and with unlimited vision. Just as the horizon lay in all directions, thus, time expands in all directions, through all dimensions of time and space of our growing Cosmos. To be able to see all parts of time along with knowing your current position, there is nothing you cannot accomplish. Using your time wisely and effectively truly is the key to motivation and success.
Expectations and outlook
Second, we must keep our expectations realistic and our outlook positive. Having a realistic understanding of the ebb and flow of life is critical to successfully navigating life’s challenges. Realizing that it can be done and that our journey through life is meant to be a positive influence on all we encounter is the ideal goal. Having realistic expectations and a positive mental attitude will help keep your motivation at the right level for success. Remember, Keep it real, keep it positive, and keep it motivated.
Forward
Third, we have to stay motivated! Inaction is like sailing a tall ship in placid air. You are going nowhere fast. Forward movement, no matter how slow, is the best course of action. Being motivated takes energy so take time to take care of yourself. Eat right, get enough sleep, and exercise when you can. The body is an incredible machine that can take care of you, but, only if you take care of it! When you think you are stuck in port with nowhere to go, allow your realistic expectations and positive attitude to help your motivation as you move forward into the fray of life.
One way of staying motivated is reading the Imperial Dread Sea Scrolls 2 Blog from time to time.

About DPebooks
From a blog to ebooks and back again
Welcome, and thank you for wanting to learn more about DPebooks. The website was an extension of a blog and a location my readers would be able to download my ebooks for free. It serves the same function today.
I turned my original blog entries into motivational essays and published them under the same name as the blog for easy recognition, The Imperial Dread Sea Scrolls.
DPebooks.com is a personal website that I built and maintain myself. The website was created around 2003 and continually offered my free motivational ebooks at no charge.
As a self-published author, I enjoy sharing motivational thoughts and eBooks and blogs I write, free of charge, to anyone who wishes to download my work.
Run a rig!
The origin of my work is a long-gone blog platform called Xanga. In the year 2000, I received an email from Ms. Bianca Brusard saying she saw my writing and wanted me to join her and her friends at Xanga. For me, the internet was “new” and I was not yet savvy about its ways.
Thinking the email was from someone from the college I was attending at the time. I reasoned Xanga was only campus-wide.
After several weeks on the blog platform, I learned I had fallen prey to Xanga’s public roll-out email campaign. Ms. Brusard was a fictitious blogger and most untrustworthy.
I stayed on Xanga, using the nom-de-plume “Dread Pirate”. In sum, the leap into blogging let me have some fun as well as practice my writing skills. I named the blog, “The Imperial Dread Sea Scrolls” and enjoyed blogging my motivational musings.
Blog readership quickly grew to 100 followers and the comment section was buzzing with encouragement and fun. In no time at all, 100 readers grew to 200. I found my blog entries being spotlighted on the front page of Xanga. (When a blog was linked on the front page of Xanga, it increased the number of people who followed you exponentially.)
“Keep it real, keep it positive, and keep it motivated.”

Inspiration
It occurred to me that if my Xanga shipmates enjoyed my motivational musings with a nautical flare. I repurposed my blogs as entries, compiled them, and created my first motivational ebook. The Imperial Dread Sea Scrolls ebooks were born. Without delay, I decided that I needed an internet venue to distribute my works, and Dread Pirate ebooks (DPebooks) was born and distribution of my free motivational ebooks began.
The Imperial Dread Sea Scrolls II
blog
This blog is a rebirth of the original blog, long ago lost at sea. This blog will be like its predecessor and will primarily be entries about motivation. I may write about my efforts in writing together with my motivational musings.
Imperial Dread Sea Scrolls II Mantra
May I become at all times, both now and forever
A protector for those without protection
A guide for those who have lost their way
A ship for those with oceans to cross
A sanctuary for those in danger
A lamp for those without light
A place of refuge for those who lack shelter
And a servant to all in need
