Day Thirteen

Typing in the title for the day, I just thought of how today is all about being a teenager and figuring things out for the first time.  Isnt it funny how we can think just because we are somewhere, that we arrived at something we worked for that we deserve to stay there?  Why is that? 

It reminds me of a friend that I had a long chat with.  She is AMAZING!  A very talented photographer that has worked hard for many years.  I must say that she has a very unique style and captures the most incredible moments in peoples lives.  So we were chatting about how she would love for her calendar to be full with sessions, and how it is hard to be in business for many years but have a slow month.  Hmmm...my friend and I asked a few simple questions.  The chat was really awesome and brought her back to what she loves...helping people capture the amazing moments in their lives so that they can be cherished for years and years in the photographs.  

You see, you might have worked really hard to get somewhere, but that does not mean that you deserve to stay there forever without working hard to do so.  Never lose the perspective that success is a constant.  It is consistent and needs to be reviewed and updated often.  Keep things fresh, and apply those changes.  Just because you have been doing something for a long time does not mean that you are doing a good job with it anymore.  Be the best you can be everyday and the positive attitude that you omit might just encourage others to do the same!

The aim of an argument or discussion should not be victory, but progress.  ~Joseph Joubert, Pensées, 1842
