Putting my foot down and making a change

I recently had an epiphany… I have been seriously undermining my own value. Why? Fear of rejection, fear of too much success, fear of not making money. My priorities and my passions have changed! I have decided on where I want to go and what I want to do (well mostly anyway). My passions are not the same as they were 5-6 years ago. I have found a whole new road that I wish to travel, and I am looking forward to the journey.

In making room for my new journey, I had to make some tough decisions and decide what was fulfilling me and what wasn’t. What was making me happy from day to day or what just felt like a mundane task that I did not want to do. What I found out was that I no longer had a passion for a my photography business. Don’t get me wrong… I still LOVE taking pictures, but once the money making got in the way, things changed…

I wrote a really long post (ok, it’s a vent – LOL!) about how I feel over on my blog. Please check out Uncomplicating my Life…well sort of.

    I completely understand. I have been feeling like this about web design and blogging at my personal blog too. I think we all go through it but recognizing that we need to make changes is a step in the right direction.

    I’m still doing my own little dance with fear. Letting go and beginning anew can be two of the scariest things, yet, two of the most necessary for change. I’m trying to keep telling myself that, lol. Congrats on your new journey.

    I love your approach to all this, Kris. I admire the way you at least engaged in what you loved to do because most people don’t even do that. We have to use our talents because that’s when we can see our full selves and know just what we are capable of…I firmly believe that. Aside from that, it adds variety to our lives.

    I can totally relate to how you feel about people want the “friend” deal when it comes to a service. I used to braid hair and it is definitely a gift. However, when it came to dealing with family and others that just assumed that because they were friends or whomever, they would get a deal, it ruined my passion and some relationships along the way. What it all boiled down to, on my end, was that they completely lacked respect for the labor and creativity, that went into it. Oh and don’t even get me started on immediate family whose hair I would at times do for free and when I couldn’t they would go to the shop and slap down anywhere from $200-$300 without hesitation. That’s where it all ended and now I stick to my head only!
