We all do it. We dream.
We have these goals to be something fabulous, different, successful, and extraordinary.
We get inspired and pretend to be on that new path to everything we think we've ever hoped for....and then somewhere along the road, it slips by and just becomes another one of those silly failed attempts at silly dreams.
Who are we to have such outlandish expectations? It's ridiculous, right?! We should just listen to our family and friends and get our heads out of the clouds, right?!
Hell no. HELL NO.
Raise your hand if you're over it and you want to be a crazy ridiculous dreamer anyway...
*raises hand*
“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, 'Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?' Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.” -Marianne Williamson
If any of you reading this blog know me, you know how stubborn I am. But I'm human and I have blocks, fears, and stupid excuses for not doing what I want or should do. I know what I want now ("now" being the operative word...because I'm also a woman and we always change our minds anyway), and after spending some extra me time lately on figuring out where I want to go and how I want to get there, its starting to feel a little bit more clear. It's going to be great. I could elaborate more but seriously, who wants to sit at their computer getting a numb butt reading a novel about my recent enlightenment. You know I will blog more about it soon anyway ;)
Until then, please take the time to listen to this video below of my most recent photog obsession, Sue Bryce. You don't have to watch it, just listen. It's long I know...but just shut up and LISTEN. You don't have to be a photographer to take something away from this. Now, its time to pull up the big girl panties and do the work!
