Patience is essential in terms of success. I consider myself a patient person. Why? In this post, I will give you one of the best examples.
I have been regularly taking photos in the streets of Warsaw since October 2015. At first, I didn’t know why I was taking all these specific photos. Why I chose such frames and not others? For a long time, while taking pictures, I didn’t even know if I would ever publish my photographs. For various reasons, I was reluctant to update my social media profiles.
Nevertheless, I was patient. Not knowing the future, I was still making pictures patiently and firmly.
I already wrote before that “You can go your own way.” I still do not know where my photographic journey will take me. But, I only know that I have to be patient. I believe that it all makes sense.
Will I believe it till the end of my life? I hope so. I often feel that the more I try to find answers to many doubts, the more I see that I do not know anything about myself and surrounding me, world.
Nevertheless, despite the abovementioned paradox, I’m still patient in seeking universal truth.
Will I find it? No. In my opinion, no man living in this world, no matter how patiently he will do that, will be able to find answers on many existential questions. Which questions? For example, is there a God? Or, how we appeared on planet Earth.
Am I patient in other areas of my life? I try, although sometimes it is not easy. In spite of difficulties, I believe that it is worth being patient in pursuing a goal.
So, what is your goal? You write that you do not why you take photos. Thus, why you have to be patient, even if you do not know the purpose?
Undoubtedly you could ask me, my Dear Friend.
The ultimate goal of my passion is to have fun. Simply. The rest (fame, money, etc.) will come sooner or later. Do I wait for it? No. I wait for my next photo walk, with patience.
