Make Sh*t Happen

We are all guilty of it. We make excuses. We make excuses for everything that goes wrong, and it doesn’t matter if it’s a wedding or a portrait shoot. “The bride was a bitch.” “They didn’t want their picture taken.” “The groomsmen were unruly.” “We didn’t have enough time.” “The kids wouldn’t listen.” Excuse after excuse after excuse.

Are you OK with that? I mean, it’s not really a rhetorical question. Seriously, are you OK accepting and blaming everyone else for why things went wrong? I, for one, am not. I want to control my own destiny. And you can too. It’s easier than you think. You just have to change the way you think
