My Sunday mornings always kick off with me sharing whatever is on my mind, and it's rarely about photography. Often I've had the honor of feedback from many of you who were feeling the same way. So, here I am about to go completely off track from imaging. The topic is giving up on a dream. Big ones, little ones, it doesn't matter - the point is we all get to a point with our dreams where we start to doubt ourselves, the idea and even the relationships that support our quest. We get frustrated with results that aren't coming fast enough. In short, feel, like we're trapped in PinkFloyd's The Wall, "Is anybody out there?" (And if you're too young to have heard the album - go buy it today. It's one of the greats!) It's a short post this morning and I need a little help from the outside world: Age wrinkles the body, quitting wrinkles the soul. Douglas MacArthur Giving up on your goal because of one setback, is like slashing your other three tires because you got a flat. Anon Never give up, for that is just the place and time the tide will turn. Harriet Beecher Stowe Never give up on a dream because of the time it will take to accomplish it. The time will pass anyway. Earl Nightingale Here's my point this morning - NEVER give up on your dreams. When you get to the point where you're questioning something you're trying to do, step back and take the time to think it through. More than likely you'll remember what it was that started the dream in the first place. So often people give up on the touchdown, just when they're on the one-yard line! (With help from Vince Lombardi on that one.)
Wishing everybody a beautiful Sunday and a day filled with peace and love, just like a flower child from the 70's. Life is too short to waste energy on sadness or letting go of dreams. Always go for those eleven-second hugs and do something today that's different. Even it's just taking a little time to look in the mirror and appreciate the heart of the face staring back at you. Happy Sunday everybody - or for those readers who remind me now and then it's Monday on the other side of the world - Happy Monday!
