Everyday is a new challenge!!

The aim of this blog is for me to keep a visual diary of everything I do because I am going through a really tough time, If anyone reads it then that's cool but it's mostly for me so I can keep track on things and hopefully reach my goals and dreams-put my life back together!


I have a list of dreams I want to make come true, but for now there just pipe dreams, hopefully one day I can make them a reality.


I want to own my own photography studio and I want a successful career, I have been a photographer for a few years now, I know I want to go back to uni and learn some new skills and techniques.


One of the dreams I had was to have a photo-shoot and be on the other side of the camera, I achieved this yesterday! It was amazing.



I think it's important to concentrate on what you do have rather than what you don't have, think  about what you have achieved rather than what you haven't, it's hard to remind yourself of that sometimes, here is some of my photography, something which in the past I have achieved!!

Photography





I think you have to be passionate about what you do in life otherwise whats the point? Live life to the full is such a cliche but i think it takes a brave,determined person to do it!

Achieving your dreams

A few months back I made whats called a dream board, I cut out pictures of images that I found made me feel motivated, I have it up on my bedroom wall, I see it every morning and I look at it, I think this helps to make you feel focused on what you want out of life,what your dreams/world can look like,I choose people I admire, pretty places I want to visit,pictures,drawings etc.. here is what it looks like.
