So you want to be a professional?
Photographer. Director. Golfer. Belly dancer. Designer. Waiter. Model.
If you’re wondering if you’ve got what it takes to go pro, try it. Seriously. Quit what you’re doing now and go there. You’ll know soon after you’ve tried to go there whether or not you’re in the right spot. If you don’t have what it takes, it will be obvious – going pro will be too hard, other things will seem more interesting, more pleasurable, more fun.
On the other hand, if you do have what it takes, you will be reborn. All setbacks will seem small, all goals achievable, all hurdles put there only to keep out the others. You will know you’re on the right path.
One thing for certain is that both paths–trying to go pro and steering clear of going pro–will be full of fear. In one case the fear is that you’ll fail and not be good enough. In the other case the fear is that you’ll never have lived your dream…
When you think of those two, which one is worse?
thank you 🙂
This is something I think about every day. As a Dallas resident, all I think about is moving to a place more suited for what I love to shoot, fly fishing and action sports. If and when I quit, I’ll let you know how it goes. Thanks for the motivation.
Thanks Chase… I needed some words of encouragement today, things seemed to be conspiring against me! Now I just need to look into what being a pro Belly Dancer entails!
Couldn’t agree more. You’ll feel it in your bones when you are on the right track!
well said man
