Here is a little wisdom from me to you this Wednesday. There are 3 things you will ALWAYS find me saying to people around me when they need a little “push” in life whether it be in the small things or big things.

Over the past few months I’ve gained a lot of wisdom and maturity in my life and in my photography business and there are 3 things that have helped me with that. I want to be able to share it with all you lovely people today!

#1. If you do not go after what you want you’ll never have it

I realized that there were a lot of things that I wanted out of life: for my business to take off, for me to get more clients, and to really grow as a person. I couldn’t just sit in my room and pray for these things to happen magically, I had to go out there and pursue it, fight for it, REALLY want it bad enough to get it. Look at the thing you want most, now go after it with all the passion that is in you. It’s in there, you’ve just gotta let it out.

#2. If you do not ask, the answer will always be NO

Seriously, I love this one!. This one is by far my favorite. My dad always told me that if I never asked, the answer will ALWAYS be no. Nada. Nothing. If I don’t ask, I’ll just be left wondering what would’ve happened if I just asked one simple question. So you will find me now asking so many questions in so many areas of my life: Walking up to people on the street asking them if I can take a picture of their dog (silly, I know, but sometimes certain dogs are JUST SO CUTE!). Asking a person I look up to how they do things in their business, and in their life. Heck, even asking for a raise at a certain job…scary, but hey, you never know!

#3. If you do not step forward, you will always be in the same place.

last but not least #3. Who wants to tread the same water for the rest of their life? Who wants to be stuck in the same old routine, never leaving your comfort zone to explore new areas in life? Not me. I want to step forward in every area of life, step forward with faith, step in places that sometimes scare me so I can grow to become a better person. What is more exciting than looking back in a year, heck even a month, and seeing how far you’ve come in life because you had the courage to step forward?!

I hope these 3 rules that I love to live by, have inspired you. Try it sometime. Use it in your life, in the big ways and in the small ways and see how your life begins to change. Just one question, one step, can change your life. 🙂
