Be who you are...

Last night I came across a book that I truly admire. It takes two of the constant thoughts that bounce around in this head of mine and puts them together. Those two thoughts are life & photography. The book is called WISDOM by Andrew Zuckerman. Shots that are truly after my own heart. And words from each individual soul that are just so inspiring. Now the other funny thing here is quote from the book, it actually spans both VERY LARGE pages and states "Nobody Can Teach Me Who I Am"... First off, I want you to take that to heart, because you are truly who YOU are. And the funny thing about that is a simple conversation that took place with a loved one later on in the evening about people who truly don't know who they are yet. Maybe they're not sure about themselves, maybe they're not accepting of who they truly are or maybe they just don't know how to let that person out??? One can't be too sure, but really... "Nobody Can Teach Me Who I AM".... Nobody can teach you who you are. We're all our own souls and for 2009 why don't you think about letting that inner you out. Why don't you work on teaching yourself who you are. Who you truly are. Not who you want to be. But who YOU ARE....


2009 is sure to be a grand one, we're opening our lives to a new beginning with a new president, a new number 9, new months, days and minutes. They can and will all be great. Don't let the worries of another year gone take you down. Look forward. You can do it. We will all continue to grow wise together. With each and every day. We are still growing up, there's no decomposing that is going to happen here. After all, that only happens when you stand still... Are you going to stand still??? Instead what do you say we take the new year on and make it a great one????


Shine on with the new year and remember.... "Nobody can teach me who I am"...
