I love that you can see something or in this instance read something over and over again then one day it jumps out at you like it's completely new. That's what this quote did to me today...as they most always do when I go to write.
As I've said before, I'm a slightly impatient person so the idea of waiting for something to happen instead of when I'm ready for it to happen is soooooo frustrating to me. But I'm getting better, I hope! So I've spent this morning writing emails and planning stuff for Beachwood Drive. By now you know that is the film that my friend and I will be campaigning for in February, then filming around May. But we are still in the development stage and all I can think is how I wish this was all done and we were filming. It would be so much more fun to be on set, acting and creating instead of sending out emails and trying to build my team.
But you can't just jump into the middle of anything, now can you? Not if you ever want to be successful. Plus everything is a lesson. So if I'm to learn how to do this and be successful at it, I have to start at the beginning and work my way through the grunt work so I can get to the fun part later.
Of course once I get there, I won't be stopping. It will only push me to do it again and that's the ultimate goal for me. If I can make films on my own for the rest of my life, I'd be so happy.
I just love it when a lesson like that smacks you in the face. So the next time you're feeling like something isn't progressing the way you want, or that you're overwhelmed because road ahead of you seems so long, remember that you always have to start at the beginning before you can get to the end.
Enjoy the journeys because that is where we learn the lessons!
Love you!
Kimberly
