Following My Passion
Whether folks buy or not, I could not imagine a life where I didn’t do what meant most to me. We’re here for such a short time and I want to be the type of person who lived life to his fullest. Became the person I dream to be. Filled each day with those things I value most: love, mastery, art, beauty, health, relaxation.
I’ve been walking every morning this week. It’s been absolutely spectacular out. I realized what a wonderful job I’ve done of creating my life so I can do that each morning. I meditate, journal, practice my guitar and singing, work on a new song or two, then hit the computer for the marketing part of my day. I love my life!
I’m also aware of being a model for my kids. When I’m down the most, I remember I’m also following my passion for my son and daughter, because I want them to know follow theirs is what makes for extraordinary life.

I can only imagine how disappointing it must be to have a great performance, followed by lackluster sales. I wonder, do people know that you are often not paid to perform, and that your primary income comes from CD sales and/or tips? This situation is part of what I fear in pursuing a career in photography. I am not great at handling rejection – and it would be so frustrating to listen to people praise my photos and then leave my booth empty-handed! But, as you say, we need to follow our passion and trust that the fruits of our labors will follow…
Love you!
