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?
Go Pro everyday I’d rather fall on my arse time and time again. Then be one of those ppl who has never tried anything. War wounds from going to market are badges of honour and its the only time being different will help u survive.
What ya waiting for ?
Well said… I’ve been trying to tell my friends this for some time. If they really want it do it take the jump its worth it. 100%.
Thanks,
Mike
well said, chase.
I’m turning 33 next week and I finally figured out what I want to be when I grow up. time to start living the dream 🙂
I too just turned 33 and I also found what I wanted to do when I grow up! 😀
I think if one focuses on the fear, he is paralyzing his opportunity to grow in their craft or profession.
Rather than questioning and thinking about fear, I say, be motivated by your passion. Set small goals and with each success, you are closer to reaching the pinnacle.
i think there is only one way to discover it: go for it
if not you will be your whole life wondering if you should have tried it
