Free to Succeed

Monday night I had the amazing opportunity to attend David Jay's Free to Succeed tour with Jasmine Star. I have been to quite a few seminars since beginning my business, and this one blew the others out of the water! In the past, I have always walked away with great information, and of course, a whole list of new products to buy. In the end, I would usually end up discouraged, and wondered if I would ever really make it. David and Jasmine gave so many practical points and left me very encouraged. They also left me with many questions to ask myself: Why am I doing what I'm doing? Who am I influencing? Who am I giving back to? Some may wonder what it had to do with photography, but believe me, it had everything to do with it. I'm so glad I went!

I've mentioned recently that I'm in the middle of a very busy season, (when am I not?) and I want to apologize for focusing on that. Too often, I think we all let our businesses take over and we forget the real reason behind what we're doing, and I am guilty of that. So, beginning now, there will be some changes for Sandberg Photography. These are changes that I have been aware of but never ventured out... I feared that change. We can't deny it, times are changing, and to keep up, we must change. We shouldn't fear change, for in that change comes a molding of our character and a refining of our spirit.

It's in our human nature to fear the unknown. We fear uncertainty, but isn't it usually that the thing we fear is what we want the most? Could it be that in that fear lies our greatest desires and ultimate destinies? There is much that I lack understanding in, but I know that to overcome my fears and to truly change, I have to go beyond my own understanding and go forward with faith and confidence.

Have a blessed Wednesday!
