It takes 24 images to form each second of film.
One second, 24 frames at a time.
When you flip through a photo album, graphic novel or art portfolio, each of those images represents thousands of seconds…even though they are just one image.
Photos don’t just represent a thousand words.
They are backed by hundreds of hours and honing of skill.
But those words and hours aren’t the same for each person.
Someone had to make the art.
Someone had to take the time to take the picture.
It’s more than talk.
It’s action.
Tangible work represents actions taken.
Deadlines met.
Talk can be reaffirming.
It can’t do the work for you.
Good habits.
Small steps, build the stones of a strong foundation.
You don’t have to conquer the world every day, do make an impact every day.
Set your personal benchmarks.
Make your goals.
Don’t check in January 1 every year and never look back.
Mark it and strike it. Daily, weekly, monthly standards.
You don’t have to party about it.
But celebrate your achievements and acknowledge your progress.
It has to matter to you, because it’s up to you.
Reinforcements are not coming to your aide.
It’s just you.
Take action.
Be moved.
