THERE ARE TIMES WHERE PREPARATION IS MANDATORY FOR SUCCESS. There are times where preparation can be debilitating. There are times when the shot is not going to make sense but you must rear back and take the shot because you don't know until you take the shot.
THERE ARE TIMES THAT YOU MUST HAVE COMPLETE CONFIDENCE IN YOUR SELF to be yourself. make sure that at any given moment you have checked your self so that you are always yourself.
THE THOUGHT THAT GOES IN TO HAVING FINISHED SOMETHING or that goes in to starting something can have one of two qualities: destructive or constructive. Looking forward is constructive, keep doing that.
TO WITNESS SHEER ENJOYMENT OF LIFE IS A TREAT. The moments where there is not a soul that could shake your love of life are the ones worth treasuring.
THERE ARE TIMES TO PERFORM AND TIMES TO SPECTATE. No matter what it is, it is always time to live life.
SOME OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL THINGS TO WITNESS are the rare moments where you see people loving life so much that nothing else seems to matter.
SEEING SOMEONE COMPLETELY COMFORTABLE IN THEIR OWN SKIN CAN BE INSPIRING. Baring witness to such a state of individuality can cause so many feelings — understanding, optimism, sympathy, interest, irritation, passion, etc.
IT IS THE DISTINCT STORIES OF YOUR LIFE THAT MAKE UP WHO YOU ARE. Life itself is a story. Make sure it is one worth telling.
TO BE IN THE PRESENCE OF SUCH SHOWMANSHIP IS TURLY AN HONOR. To see someone in the place where their legacy was born is a rare thing. This legendary life seemed so accessible yet so distant. Thank You Dolly.
TWO WEEKS AFTER LISTENING TO THE Jamie xx ALBUM I FOUND OUT he was playing in Nashville. I immediately purchased my ticket and was ready to go Jamie xx at Marathon Music Works. A few weeks later and it is day of show. I am going to meet my friends at the venue. Ticket in one hand and camera in the other and next thing you know I have a security guard telling me no cameras in the venue. So here is what I was able to capture on my iPhone amongst the dancing.
GREAT CRAFTSMANSHIP AND INTENTIONALITY, in time, will attract the right people. Maintaining those qualities in relationships will do the same.
THERE ARE THESE MOMENTS IN LIFE, THAT NO MATTER HOW BUSY YOU ARE, you need to talk to that one person. No one else, just them. It can be charming and endearing, or it can be serious and dramatic. Nonetheless you need to talk to them.
GETTING TO WATCH SOMEONE THAT LOVES WHAT THEY DO IS ENERGIZING. Experiencing this pushes us to strive for a life of passion and vigor.
Getting to experience moments of complete precision combined with utter chaos is a beautiful site. The perfect storm of 200mph cars racing around you, along with people yelling for the next pit stop and maintaining complete focus creates a reassuring reminder of life.
When you get a chance to witness an industry that you know little to nothing about, you are forced into realizing how unique humans really are.
