I don’t really have too much to share picture wise today, just trying to get caught up and organize myself for the upcoming weeks. Been an editing, album design, and photo ordering fool lately when I’m not out shooting. I’ve been back at bootcamp full force too which is always a nice release to just let my mind be in the present moment. I had taken a good month or so off. There is an upcoming race at City Park that our whole workout crew is planning to attend together. As rough and tough as “bootcamp” sounds- it really isn’t. It’s a place where we leave everything else at the door and come to give it all we have. I’ve made some great friends in the group, we now have a running coach named Jennifer that owns Louisiana Running Company. She comes out there with us sometimes and kicks our butt. This morning she emailed us a quote that really hit me. Thought I would share it with you.
“There is no limit to what you can imagine. And with commitment, with effort, what you can imagine… you can become. Put your mind to work for you. Believe that you can do it. The world will tell you that you can’t. Yet, in your belief… you’ll find the strength, you’ll find the ability, to do it anyway.” Ralph Marston
I’m sure we can all apply that to our lives in one area or another. I’ve seen so many dreams become a reality for not only myself but for many people around me. It takes waking up every morning with a different attitude, a certain hunger for something better in life, yearning for a challenge and not stopping until you get there. I think about this all the time. Wondering where I’d be if I didn’t become a photographer – the world would look different to me. It wouldn’t be as happy. I’ve experienced so much in the last several years. Each day I learn something new. I learn what I want for my life. Things I really love doing, things I want to change. Areas of my business that I’d like to re-evaluate, etc. I get down on myself sometimes because I wish there were just more hours in the day to get out all this creative stuff I have jumbling around in my head. One day I will find that balance and things will begin to make sense in my brain. Until then I will continue on while I live out this journey. The growing process is sometimes the best part right? Painful and uncertain, but completely necessary to reach the place we want to be in life. I am working towards a certain goal. Are you? We talk about this a lot in bootcamp. Reaching certain goals – – whether it be physically or in everyday work life.
I can always tell when I have alot going on because I dream alot, do you guys do that? I wake up in the morning and think to myself… what the heck was that all about?? I think my mind is always moving so fast that when I finally do fall asleep it’s like a jumble of thoughts! My latest dream was my dog Lexie swimming at the bottom of the ocean, yet somehow she could breathe under there? (Like a little fish! So freaking weird? LOL!)
Anyway… Happy Wednesday! More posts to come soon ;)
