Resolution or Resolve
Dec. 29th, 2011 06:27 pmFrom here
Excerpts:
"A resolution is a one-time decision. A mile-marker on our journey, on which we look back when we forget from whence we’ve come and lost sight of where we’re going. But it’s nothing more. The moment you make it, it begins to lose its momentum, and there are very few of us for whom that resolution carries much lasting strength. It’s just the way it is. It’s a strong indicator of a desire, but a poor agent of change. It may, at best, be a compass, but it’s not an engine. And waiting for the magic of January One is just silliness. Do it now. Not tomorrow. Not later."
AND
"none of them come on a silver platter. They come with intention and resolve, they come rough and demand polishing, and they – all of them – extract a price. But I am amazed at how much we can accomplish when we pay that price, and stop screwing around"
( thoughts... )
Note to friends - I doubt this LJ posting will continue at this rate. Once the first rolls around projects will begin to take off and take more of my energy. But I will try to post at least more often than 1-3 times a month.

I hate contradicting myself
Dec. 29th, 2011 06:55 pm... but I need to set myself a photography goal for 2012.
And no, I refuse to believe this is in any way contradictory to my "I don't believe in New Year's Resolutions" post I just made.
No it isn't. 'Cuz I say so. ;P
But back to the point. I should push myself. But I don't want to - or rather, am scared to.
( in which I ramble on about photography goals (perhaps using an SPN con as one) )
