Ever wonder?

Have you ever wondered what would've happened if you had taken that leap of faith or made the decision to pursuit what you love doing? For most of my adult life that thought never crossed my mind. I was focused on making a living and providing and nothing else. I used to think that it was the way of living and that it couldn't get any better until my lovely wife brought photography back into my life (which you can read in my previous blog entry Three years strong) It was then that my eyes were open to a world of possibilities and I realized how much time I had wasted.

But that's the thing, SOMETIMES it takes someone to give you that push in the right direction. Just like we can't wait for one of our friends to come up with a plan for the weekend to go out and have fun. Sometimes you are the friend that comes up with the plan and goes out to blow out steam and have fun. Well, maybe you can come up with your own plan or maybe you can listen to the one person telling you that you could do something that will make you happy.

Sometimes our main focus is making money and make lots of it even if what you're doing isn't exactly what makes you the happiest and if that's your drive then that's perfectly fine! much power to you. But I think there are people out there that can earn as much or close to what they're earning now doing something they truly love or at least enjoy. The question is. WHAT STOPS THEM? Sometimes it's fear sometimes it's not knowing they can actually do it sometimes it's self doubt and sometimes it's just plain laziness and being complacent.

That takes me back to the main question. Have you ever wondered? Have you ever thought about what it is you could be doing and be happy and truly enjoy it. Have you even put any thought into it? If you have thought about it then what's stopping you? Are you afraid to fail? Do you think it'll be too hard?

You have the answer to all those questions and whatever the answer is don't turn it into and excuse! Go for it! If you fail then you can at least said you tried your best. If you think it's hard then guess what, the hardest things to accomplish are the ones that are actually worth everything in life. Go out and try. Are you a musician, actor, make up artist, hair stylist, photographer, model. What is it that puts a smile in your face when you think about doing it for a living?

I'm a photographer. I am far from being accomplished or even successful. But I try every day because I love what I do. I never go to work; instead, I get paid for doing what I truly enjoy and love doing and I will continue to learn to become better at what I do, try harder to be successful and I will always stay humble and be ready to help whoever I can help build their dreams.

I hope this rambling of mine helps you see things that sometimes are not very clear to us. And if there's anything I can do to achieve your goals then please reach to me and I will be more than happy to do it. Just don't ask me for money. I don't have much of that lol.

Check out this guy. He has a talent and he's possibly making a living out of it. No boss breathing down his neck. Gotta love it.
