You see I have wonderful and talented friends. Friends who do amazing stuff with awesome and powerful people. Friends who I consider myself lucky to know. I am grateful for being a part of their creative and precious lives. These people inspire me.
I envy them.
I wish my vision was as clear. I wish my visual style was as original. I wish my confidence was as big. I wish my will was as strong. I wish my bank account was as filled. I wish I was like them.
When I see how awesome and amazing and talented and happy they are. I wish I was like them.
Then I think. (read spend 9 hours on 9gag and dwell on my own pitiful existence)
And then I think some more. (read stare on my shiny new project for another 2 hours or so)
Then I realize that if I really want to be in the same place as they are. If I really want to do exactly the same thing as they do. Then I have to work. And if I am not willing to do the work that it takes to get there. Then I do not deserve to be there.
Chose.
Chose where you want to be. What you want to do. And focus on that. Do what it takes. And do not wish. Dream. Big. Then do. Do big.
Don't be afraid of failing.
Be afraid of never trying.
You know what? I'm jealous of you. Wish I had half of your talent, in photography or singing, or beaming.
ReplyDeleteBut hey yes!! Try, try, try, that's the most important! Don't be afraid to aim high, even if sometimes it seems silly - dare.
We'll work , and work, and work, and one day, things are going to be great!
