An Eye-Opener

Hey all!  So I normally only post twice a week, but I was working on some school work and one of our assignments was to watch a couple videos created by photographer, Zack Arias.  I actually had never heard of him until this assignment and was expecting the videos to be a drag.  Boy was I wrong!  At first I was like, okay... this is weird.  But then it just kept getting better and better.  Basically, if you're a photographer or any form of artist, or hell, if you just have a career in something you're passionate about, then you're going to want to watch these two videos.  

They're incredibly inspiring and eye-opening.  We, as dreamers, are always going at high speed in life.  So much so, that sometimes we forget how important it is to pause and remember the basics.  Why are you here?  Why is this your passion?  What about it makes you happy?  Does it still make you happy?  If not, then do you remember what about it did?  Go back to that.  Be patient.  We all start from the same starting line and we only reach the finish line once we're no longer on this earth.  Sure, it may sound depressing to look at it that way, but seriously, what kind of life would you be living if one day at say 54 years old you figured it all out and that was that and you were done?  It wouldn't be any kind of life at all.  Passion, failure, happiness, competition, success... it all keeps us hungry.  The good with the bad, we need all of it to keep us going and pushing ourselves.

Pretty good stuff, right?  It's been awhile since I've attempted to inspire you all on a deeper level, so I hope that this post has given you a fresh mind and the will-power to remember to pause and remember the basics.  Stay hungry, but have patience.  Have a beautiful weekend!
