Struggling is a Part of Life

Everyone struggles in life. It’s a fact of life. But how we deal with those struggles can make all the difference.

Some people choose to give up when they struggle. They feel like it’s too hard and they’ll never be able to overcome it. But others choose to keep fighting. They know that struggling is a part of life, but they also know that they can overcome anything they set their minds to.

If you’re struggling right now, don’t give up. Keep fighting. Remember that you are not alone. Everyone struggles in life. But the ones who keep fighting are the ones who eventually succeed.

Here are some tips for dealing with struggles:

  1. Talk to someone you trust. Talking to someone about your struggles can help you feel better and get some perspective.
  2. Take care of yourself. Make sure you’re eating healthy, getting enough sleep, and exercising regularly. These things will help you feel better physically and emotionally.
  3. Set realistic goals. Don’t try to do too much too soon. Set small, achievable goals and gradually work your way up to bigger ones.
  4. Be patient with yourself. It takes time to overcome struggles. Don’t get discouraged if you don’t see results right away. Just keep working hard and eventually you will reach your goals.

Remember, you are not alone. Everyone struggles in life. But the ones who keep fighting are the ones who eventually succeed.

Rocky Ridge/Breeden Ridge Trail

Photo by: Tim Bindner Photography Today I met my buddy Mark at O’ Bannon Woods State Park for a hike.  In this Coronavirus terrifying world, I needed to get out. My week had not been going so well.  I got some surprises at work that changed how future projects will go for me and I was bombarded by daily messages of doom about the Corona Virus.  I was looking forward to the weekend because I had two hikes planned.  This is the only one that happened. After a two day headache (Friday and Saturday) I was able to get out and hike.  I met Mark at the campground in O’ Bannon Woods and we set off on the Rocky Ridge Trail.  This is the trail we had planned on hiking a few weekends ago but it ended quickly when the forecasted 30% of rain became 100% sleet. The trail this time was still muddy but as I could tell by the campground area we would be alone.  As my boots slushed through the mud I watched from behind as Mark often caught a tree root or rock with the toe of his boot, sending...

Kevin Mullins

I finally was able to get one of my favorite (if not my favorite) professional photographer to answer a few questions as part of my interview series.  I am honored he took the time to answer a few questions for me. I discovered Kevin’s work via research on YouTube and happening upon his channel.  He is a professional wedding photographer (and some street) but emphasizes documentary photography.  Most weddings especially here in the United States are portrait driven or posed, Kevin’s is not.  He captures candid moments from various views and none are staged or posed.  He also shoots predominantly monochrome which is my favorite. Kevin is a Fujifilm ambassador, which means he gets to try out various Fuji cameras, provides feedback to Fuji and helps to promote the brand.  Unlike other camera companies (to my knowledge) he is free to like or dislike cameras, lenses or even functions of those cameras without repercussion.   Also unlike other companies, though he gets to try vario...

Nova Scotia - Day 5

Day 5. September 29, 2022. Today would be a bit of a longer day of travel, but we saw sights that surprised me. I guess I now know why Nova Scotia means New Scotland. The morning began as normal, but this time packing up our stuff to head to the next location. We had a Merci chocolate bar, and our receipt was left for us by our host. Our first stop was breakfast. We heard about a place that served breakfast, so we backtracked to Portside Lounge and I had the best pumpkin spice French toast I have ever eaten. Marcie got the same but couldn’t finish her portion, so extra for me. Our first destination was Cape Forchu Light House . It is a lighthouse like no other. The light house sat high on a rocky hill and is at the bottom of Nova Scotia. I remember looking out at sea and thinking that if a boat went straight, it would not hit land until the Bahamas. There was a visitor center (closed) and walking paths around the place. There was even a pole with destination markers on it. Everywhere ...
