There's something mysteriously magical about foggy mornings. When wandering through fog I feel as though I'm entering a different world. A little escape from the every day world. And when joined by a good friend and my camera it makes a pretty perfect escape. Lately, I've been thinking a lot. Thinking about things I want to do, things I want to achieve, things I want to try, things I want to change but with all this comes fear. Fear of failure, fear of not being good enough, fear of disappointment. As humans, we all have dreams and we all have fears but should we let our fears overshadow our dreams? And if we never try, how will we ever know? And I think I rather live with failure than live with regret. At least by trying I will know, I will experience, I will grow, and I will learn. And so I've made a pact with myself to make some positive changes.
And to just do.
And to just do.
“My Heart Is Afraid that it will have to suffer," the boy told the alchemist one night as they looked up at the moonless sky. "Tell your heart that the fear of suffering is worse than the suffering itself. And that no heart has ever suffered when it goes in search of its dreams.”

ReplyDeleteMarissa Jamie : Faithfully, Marissa ♡
these photo are all so beautiful & dreamy!! and i love that quote!!! xoxo
ReplyDeleteLovely photos, as always. The quote sums up the first half of my year perfectly - I held myself back from doing something that I had wanted for so long, all because I feared that I wouldn't be good enough. I realized that I was holding myself to my own unreasonable standard and making myself miserable. I finally took the plunge, and although I still feel a bit insecure about it, I feel a huge sense of freedom.
ReplyDeleteWishing you the courage to continue your journey and accomplish your dreams.
Cheers,
Katie
