Ambition v Execution

Lately, I’ve been having to think hard and this stresses me out. I’ve always been a big picture kind of person, trying to account for all the little parts and where they fit into the grand scheme. I hesitate and slave to get my ideas organized. I’m learning to overcome this by forcing myself to execute. In the same way writing helps to organize my thoughts, action helps me to focus my intentions. I’m able to give form to my ideas and a chain reaction of progress begins.

To become the creative professional I want to be, there are hundreds of details that, all at once, overload my mind and derail progress. Of course I need a website, but I’ll need to develop my brand first. I have no shortage of content, but I have to dial in my logo to create unity in my work. For me, this is the hard work.

Luckily I'm full of ambition, that has become abundantly obvious in the past few weeks. In the coming weeks I’ll need to match my ambition with perseverance and execution, two virtues that have been sorely inconsistent in my life until now. By focusing the my same passion of photography and videography to “getting my shit together,” I’ll find myself in a much better position to achieve what I set out for in the first place. I may even get a good grade.
