monday medicine . 09

Okay, so I’m posting a bit late today. So sorry. It’s been… a day. In fact, it’s just been that kind of month so far. Here’s hoping that the rest of July is smooth and sweet!!

And speaking of smooth and sweet (actually this doesn’t have anything to do with smoothness or sweetness. no idea why I used that transition.)… I found this on Pinterest, and it’s had me thinking deep-ish thoughts since then.

I realized today just how often I see other photographers’ work and feel intimidated, just how often I hear of other photographers that are near me and start panicking about my business, just how often I compare myself to others people instead of focusing on working well myself. I think this saying is true, that what worries a person masters them. I’m worried about “making it” in business, so it consumes my thoughts. What should I worry about? What should master me? It would be SO much better to “worry about” not being anxious, about trusting God to provide for my needs, and then working hard & faithfully each day, doing the best I possibly can, and resting in the fact that it’s good enough.

How about you? Do you think this saying is true? What do you worry about? What “masters” you?
