Who you are!
Hello dear friends,
Do we truly know who we are? Can you sit down, right now, and write 10 facts about yourself? 50 facts? or a little deeper do you know your skills, desires, and strengths?
I have recently enrolled in a course, where we are learning a variety of things from knowing who we are to how to apply for jobs that we like to pursue. It is quite a captivating course, even though, we have been in the course for a little bit. The second homework was to tell a story from one of our experiences that we felt good about. From the story, we had to figure out the following: our desires, strength, personal qualities and possibilities of future improvements. It was quite a challenging exercise. Figuring out who I am. I urge you do the same exercise.
When you know yourself, you will believe in yourself more, you will require no inspiration from other people's materials. You be you!
One other thing I learnt from a mentor was this: 'you don't require to follow gazillion of photographers on Instagram to become a photographer! Instead you should start believing in you, only then will your work be of any interest.'
With Love,
Ellie
