It ain’t about how hard you hit, it is about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward, how much can you take and keep moving forward…
-Rocky

It’s when everything is absolutely wrong is when the test of who you really are comes..

Most of us in our lives are told at some point that we’re not good enough, and they do everything in their power to tell you why you’re going to fail. If you believe them, you become one of them. Do we want to believe what someone else says about us, or do we want to believe this internal voice that’s saying to us all the time, “you can do it… you can do it. God gave you this ability… Just keep trucking… Nobody can stop you…”

That’s where that real passion starts to get tested. That burning desire to prove to yourself that you can get it done. That you can come back. If you haven’t gotten it done, you’re determined with that passion to keep going until do.

Don’t be stifled by constraints that you think are there because they’re not…

You control your fate…

I’ve decided to use this blog a little more… Not only to update you during chase season, but a little more of my day-to-day life. As most of you know, I work in the media business. Sometimes, the newsroom itself could be a reality show of it’s own! But I’ve learned something working in this industry for just over a year. You really find out who you are… And what’s really important in life.

There comes a point in the news industry, I’ve learned where you become “numb” to some surroundings… Car wrecks, fires, people injured, even what I’ve seen in the damage path of a tornado. Now… i’m not sure what that means, that term “numb”. Maybe I just use the camera as a filter, and as long as I’m behind it, it’s not real world. Or maybe I have become somewhat immune to it. I mean, you see it day to day, maybe there’s a point that it doesn’t matter any more. Either way, I’m glad for it. I’ve seen some terrible things over the past year. But what always get’s me, are the joyous stories that make me the most emotional. In a world of bad.. where you hear of people’s shortcomings almost every single day, it’s nice to know there’s still good in this world.
I wont go into much more this time around, but I feel that maybe this blog could help someone through different times. And I feel that it might be important to share my struggles and adaptations that I’ve gone through with this passion of working in the news industry.
Ask anyone in the industry, and they say it gets in your blood. That once you’re really in, you’re hooked. Well folks, I’m living proof that thats true.
Until next time…
