kristen schueler photography

i came across this on a blog of one of my new favorite photographers, deb schwedhelm (http://www.debsphotographs.com/photoblog/) . her blog is very honest and inspiring, and i wanted to share this poem she had posted, in hopes that it will inspire you as well:

if there was ever a time to dare,
to make a difference,
to embark on something new,
it is now.

not for any grand cause, necessarily…
but for something that tugs at your heart,
something that’s your inspiration,
something that’s your dream.

you owe it to yourself, to make your days count.
have fun, dig deep and dream big.

but know that things worth doing seldom come easy.
there will be good days…
and bad.

there will be times when you want to turn around,
pack it up…
and call it quits.

those are the times when you know you are pushing yourself…
that you are not afraid to learn by trying.

persist…
because with an idea, determination and the right tools,
you can do amazing things.

and always remember…
that anything is possible.
