Make History Not Excuses!
Today is one of those days where I just don’t feel well. It’s not so unusual, not for anyone, but being in a chair has its own special “gifts” that can cause one to need to just rest or better yet, go see the doctor!
But, as I said, everyone has reasons and issues that could prevent them from pressing forward.
Today I have the opportunity to do a wonderful concert shoot with an amazing group, Mint Condition. I have been their exclusive photographer for the past three years when they perform here in Atlanta. This is a wonderful opportunity.
I love music and I loved the music of Mint Condition YEARS before I became a photographer. So to be able to not only attend one of their concerts, but to be selected by them to photograph their concert is beyond amazing!!!
So, yes I’m going out today to do my best work for my client, just as I always do. I’m blessed to have the opportunity to be a photographer and I plan to become one of the very best ever!!!
I refuse to make excuses, or to focus on what I can’t do. Instead, I’m going out today to make history and do what I do better than anyone else! Lol, how many successful concert photographers do you know that are in a wheelchair? My answer to that question is “not enough!”
So, let me get up and go out to be the example for some little “disabled” boy or girl who wants to be great at something they think is impossible!!!
Dare to be great in your own life today!!!
Remain blessed,
Nat
Note To Self
For we have not a high priest that cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but one that hath been in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. (Hebrews 4:15 ASV)
Make History, Not Excuses
I haven’t gotten as much done in the past few days as I normally do because haven’t been feeling well. Let me restate that, I’ve been sick. Not feeling well is almost the norm for me but sometimes are better than others.
But the point is that I will be better soon and back at it with full energy and focus. I plan to do some editing today and I promised a client that I would create a proof gallery for them so I will get that done.
We all have our “issues” that adversely effect affect us and our productivity., but that’s just life. The question is how do we respond to those adversities? Do we use our adversities as an excuse to stop trying, to say that “it’s to hard?” Or do we use them to make us stronger and blast through??!!
I prefer to blast through!!! I hope you will too! Remain focused and move forward!
Now, I like to post photos so I’m going to post this one because I want to remind you that even though life isn’t always fair, but we can overcome anything!
Remain blessed!
NOTE TO SELF: What Does Beauty Sound Like?
I believe that the best photographers can see the very same things that others see, but they have the vision to feel what they see and hear what they see.
I believe that great photographers can capture the true essence of beauty by capturing what beauty sounds and feels like and not so much what it looks like. Almost anyone can capture a “look” with today’s technology!
Go out and look for that sound beauty makes, if you really pay attention, you’ll feel it!
