The Only Things That Really Matter Are…

WHO you are matters less now than ever before. Pedigrees no longer matter. You can go from nobody to famous, or rich, or happy, or successful without anyone else’s permission.

WHAT you are matters less now than ever before. Movie stars and wine experts, academics and ultimate wrestlers are all on the same playing field.

WHERE you are matters less now than ever before. You can be sharing photos from your basement apartment in Brooklyn, building a semi-conductor in your garage in Palo Alto, or leading a revolution in the streets of Egypt.

HOW you do what you do, matters less now than ever before. Doesn’t matter if you shoot it on a Panavision 35 or a HdSLR. It only matters that you did it.

What DOES matter is….

WHEN. If you don’t do it now, you might miss this amazing window.

and…

WHY. Why you do what you do always matters. Don’t even think of asking me to explain it.

    Chase, THANK YOU for your ongoing encouragement, generosity with sharing info, and general positivity. This post was right on time for me this morning. This economy makes it hard to keep my chin up sometimes, but you just gave me a much needed boost.
    Peace
