When You’re On Top
What is it we fear with trying to be successful as photographers/models? Is it being excepted at our craft or the failure of never getting there. It is so easy to give up or is dying to make it that important, if you canât get over the hump of fear itself.Yes! There are few that make it to the top and finding how to get there is for some a never ending journey. Letting those fears take hold of your being can get to the best of us. Sometimes that voice of someone else listening to you can be comfort, so take advice as itâs meant to be in honesty, for we all have or are going through this process of understanding what it is that we fear. It never really goes away, for in the back of your minds no matter who you are there is fear....fear of paying the bills.....fear of not being picked for the cover...fear that your work is not good.......fear of death.....This is one way I found to overcome this fear in my life.....things will happen no matter what you think...you can stand and let it happen or you can move around it, but it will catchup with you at some point. Yet one can build a body of worth within ourselves to break through any walls. Success comes in many forms and shapes that direct us all to our goals.Knowledge of what this industry will take of you and how you can dip into this pool of knowledge is within us all.....itâs our voice....itâs our reaching out and sharing those experiences with others that makes growth a road traveled among us together. Itâs can be a life changing effect by one. Bring to anything this open book, so as to have something written on your pages for no ending is final or is the next page the last.

You feel you heart beating fast...you sweat and in your might you scream Jun 16 05 05:26 pm Link Posted by Alex Alexander: so.. thinking "at least i'm still alive" when you can't get work is pointless since it's the same... to some?
