Ever find yourself wanting too many things at once? Whether it’s a new car, to update your house, get a college degree, get  a new job/promotion, or simply have more down time?

That’s me! I find myself in this current state! I have a mile long list of wants and I don’t know which way to turn or what to work on first. I feel overwhelmed by my want list! I feel depressed by my want list! I am the type of person that wants to constantly be doing something, working towards something or improving something. Ask anyone and they would agree that I am always doing something and sometimes take on too much, it’s a bad habit. 

Obviously everyone would take a new car if it’s offered, I would, but I don’t want to pay for it, figures. We have lived in our house for 3 years now and haven’t done much to it throughout the years to update or change anything. I have already received my Bachelor’s degree and recently decided to get my Master’s so this want is long way away since I just started. As far as my day job, I don’t mind it, wish I could be a full-time photographer and work from home but that isn’t feasible right now but could be with hard work, which leads me to having conflicting wants. I want to be a successful senior portrait photography in Front Royal but I want more down time where I can enjoy my husband and dogs. However, anytime I have down time or have a computer in front of me, I am usually reading a photography article, blog or browsing other photographers images to get inspired. 

I promised myself I would be an open book when I started this blog and be transparent with what is going on behind the scenes of FFP, which is where that rant came from. I know that all of my wants aren’t out of reach or impossible but they will take work to accomplish, which I am not afraid of. 

I am sure you have wants or accomplishments in your life, whether it be to get a good job after high school, get accepted into a specific college or any college at all. All of these wants are in reach and can be accomplished if you really put your mind to it and have the desire. You can never give up on yourself because you are your best motivator and the only one that can succeed and accomplish all of your wants. 

I will complete my Master’s degree, which I know won’t be completed quickly but it will be completed. TJ and I have plans for the house and have already started marking things off of our 2014 to-do list. I know a new car will be in my future when we start a family, but for now it’s me and my Honda. I will continue to learn, improve, and offer an experience to my FFP clients that exceeds their expectations to continue to grow my photography business, passion, desire, and dream. All good things take time but never give up! Strive for your wants and dreams!

Happy Wednesday!
