Today, I feel very inspired to create. I read a few articles on Relevant Magazine online and they uplifted me and inspired me. See, I’m an ENFP, by the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator Personality Test. And I feel like I am a textbook example of an ENFP  - someone who is creative, spontaneous, loves people, affectionate, and loves to help people. But also, I have those textbook ENFP problems: gets bored very easily, has trouble completing tasks, etc. I am dedicated to learning photography and practicing the craft. It’s hard when I’m teaching myself, though. I am both the teacher and the student. And those two roles conflict. I always second-guess myself when it comes to doing a photo shoot or shooting random pictures of things that I like or trying out new techniques. But it’s a part of learning. I learned today (though I already knew this) that it’s okay to fail. That I’m going to fail. But that doesn’t matter. Getting back up and trying again is what matters. I learned that I need to take everything that I’m dreaming and put it into action. Dreaming is not for tomorrow or the future, but for today. If you don’t prepare now, then you’re wasting time. And I’m sick of wasting time. I know what I want to do. Now, I just need to see it through. One step at a time. One step at a time. That’s the key. I get overwhelmed very easily and when that happens, I get discouraged and want to give up. I just need to go one step at a time. Reading my photography book. Practicing skills with photo shoots of my family and friends. I’ll get there. I won’t be perfect right off the bat, but with practice, I will get there. I found this website today: Kingdom Dreams. It’s a website that lets you record your dreams, then connects you with people, organizations, and events that help you see your dream to fruition. I just signed up for it today, so we’ll see where it takes me. Hopeful. Inspired.
