Commit

Lotus

We all know that I have a happy obsession with photography blogs. Among my favorite favorite is Sarah Rhoads'--she and her husband are bomb.com {I don't even know them, but I love them. And one day, I will fly to Seattle and ask them to take pictures of me and my fiance/hubby/ourfamily....whatever I have when I finally make it out there.}

Today, I read this post by Sarah and realized...she's only 27. Just barely. Dang.

Because I totally respect her for the way she has created a successful profession that she loves, her true passion, the fulfillment of her creation, by harrrrrrrrrrrrrd work, determination, and believing that anything is possible.

And somewhere inside of me, I keep thinking, "I will be like that. I can be like that." But I never have the guts or think that everything is "in place" for it to be NOW...

But she's totally my age and kicking my butt at the game of "Create the life you've imagined, no excuses." Good thing this life isn't about comparisons....but she totally inspired me this morning.

So.
Now.
Be brave and commit.

Liked what she said here: "When you finally commit yourself to the path you know you are supposed to be on doors will open in the most surprising places."

Reminds me of this: "Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness. Concerning all acts of initiative (or creation) there is one elementary truth, the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then Providence moves, too. All sorts of things occur to help one that would otherwise never have occurred. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one's favor all manner of incidents and meetings and material assistance which no man would have believed would have come his way." --W.H.
