well, if today was a Tuesday or even a Thursday I could be little miss alliteration today. BUT today is Monday, entailing Monday's thoughts: random thoughts in my itty bitty head. :) I like Mondays. Yup -- I said it! The freshness & start of a new week gets me motivated. But not motivated enough to do my Pre-Calc homework...ha ha.
I'm chicken. Yep, I said it.
Seriously, there are some amazing photographers out there! And I'm nothing close to that. I've got tons of work to do & leaps and bounds to get over. It's probably going to take a while. Okay, muuuuuch longer than a while.
Sometimes in school I just start daydreaming. And dreaming, and dreaming, and dreaming. I start thinking all businessy or all artsy & I just want to scream out, "I've got a great idea!" when really I start be thinking f(x)=blah blah blah or 1 mole is 6.02 times ten to the twenty-third.
I love all aspects of business. Last Thursday night, after having a fun sesh with Michelle, I went to my mom's art insights class at the university. The guest speaker was David Noot, from Noot Group in Boise, Idaho. At the very beginning of his lecture he asked how many students, out of 100+, are marketing majors/minors. Thinking about going into marketing? Marketers in any way. Going once, going twice -- oh! One! :) Well, in a room full of art majors it's hard to find. ;)
Buuuuuut. Maybe it's in my future? We'll see. Anyway. I loooooved what he talked about! It was all about BRANDING. I was thinking right then, LORD I'M SO GLAD YOU BROUGHT ME HERE TONIGHT! ONLY YOU! :) At one point I totally thought David Noot turned into David Jay & I was at a ShowIt seminar. No joke. Even though he wasn't necessarily talking about photography businesses, I ate up every word he said like they were krispy creme donuts. It was just like that, only without all the guilty calories. ;)
At the beginning of this blog there's an image where I'm at a red light. Sometimes I feel like this in my life. God tells me to stop & let others go when really I just want to go, go, go! To infinity and beyond.
And then there's the green light above. God is going to tell me to GO full. speed. ahead. I've got a lot to learn before that though.
But this time of learning is going to teach me so much. God is going to work in my life. This month I've been enjoying Launching a Leadership Revolution by Chris Brady & Orrin Woodward. It's teaching me a lot and I'm starting to fall in love with reading all over again.
In elementary school I was "the bookworm," but from middle school until now I really only read books when I had to. When I'm forced to. When it's for a grade. I recently read The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins & it made me remember how much I used to read and how much I love it. How you need to do it. How you can't expect to grow in your knowledge without it.
