Day One: Cecilie's Truth: Focus.

Torüm, edlaz.
Greetings, friends.
This is Cecilie,  I'm here to introduce everyone to how this'll work, and in my opinion the best way to do that is to jump right in, so here we are.

Today's truth from me is focus.

Life stinks sometimes. You frown. Things go bad. Right now my family lives in a 32ft camper trailer. One on top of the other almost literally sometimes. Four cats. One dog. Four people. Not to mention all my characters and dragons, but that's another story . You have horrible days. But you can't let that break you. It's one day. Tomorrow's a new one. New things. New people. New ideas. New thoughts.

You have songs like this:

And then you have songs like this:

Amazing difference.
You have pictures like this:

Where you think: Hm. Good idea. Not a great turnout.

Then you have pics like this:

And you smile.

What's my point?
You can't dwell on the sad song or the failed picture.
You can't let the annoyances, the sadness, the pain, you can't let it get you down.
You have to focus. You have to focus on the good and not the bad. You have to listen to the sad song and go: "yes. Sad. Amazingly." But then you have to LISTEN TO the happy song, and not let the sad song bother you anymore. You have to focus on it.

You have to look at the failed picture and grimace, but then you have to look at the awesome one and think: "Now that's good. The other doesn't matter. Things fail. This one's GOOD."
You can't think: "I failed a picture. Time to drop photography."
You failed one picture.
So what?
It's ONE PICTURE.You took forty five that day, and out of those, you failed maybe three.
Failures happen.
Sad songs are written.
But you have to focus on the happy, and let it make you smile.
You can't fight it, you have to let it make you smile, let it make you dance, and let yourself enjoy it.

There's day one :) Hope you enjoyed.
