This plaque was a gift from my mother in law on my first day of work last week, and this morning I couldn't help but think about how it so perfectly captures my life right now.
A while back I wrote about my dream of starting a lifestyle photography business, and for a while there I was had convinced myself that the responsible thing to do was to get a full-time job, start the business on the side and work my way up. I'm sure that does work for some people, but the truth is that I'm not sure I could handle it.
What would you attempt to do if you knew you could not fail?
The experience of quitting my job was not a fun one, but I did learn a number of things about myself in the short time spent there; and perhaps the best result was my increase desire and motivation to spend my life doing something I love and something I can be proud of.
Lively! Modern Lifestyle Photography WILL be.
This is the time to believe in myself the way that others do. This is the time to jump.
What would I attempt if I knew that I could not fail?
This.
You should be proud of yourself for not settling for a job you would not be happy doing. Too many people ending working a lifetime at a job they do not love. This is what you were meant to do!

ReplyDeleteI know I can *hardly* talk given my current situation, but seriously, you have someone to support you and a lifetime to get it done. You can do it!
