Are you on a road to success? – Wonderful Wednesday

“Do a huge volume of work. Put yourself on a deadline so that every week or every month you know you’re going to finish one  story. Because it’s only by actually going through a volume of work that you’re going to catch up and close that gap – and the work you’re making will be as good as your ambitions.”

Ugh. This video really connected with me on so many levels. Let’s all work together on closing that gap, on not giving up, on sticking with our passions and seeing them through. Let’s be the absolute best that we can be, and love every second of it. Let’s put ourselves on the road to success.

Other wonderful things this week: 

The fact that this is my second blog post of the day.

The meal I made tonight in honour of my parent’s 26th anniversary: Kolokythokeftedes with Roasted Peppers & Capers with Tzatziki. SO DELICIOUS!

Rachel Tweeddale Photography: Proof that even with an entry level DSLR (Canon 500d) you can still take AMAZING wedding photographs.

Move. Learn. Eat. Three amazing videos. Very inspiring to get out there and live your life.

An eye opening video on the beauty industry today.

When I get married, it will be hard to not chose Jen Huang to photograph my wedding.

    Some wonderful sentiments indeed Alex. And very true, we mustn’t give up on our passions.

    I am drooling at that meal – I am going to have to try it myself now!
