OZ-EYE PHOTOGRAPHY: May 2016

I really need to stop these long silences on my blog. Its been a long time since my last post 4 months to be precise. Months that have seemed to fly past. The last couple of months have been nothing short of interesting, but most importantly they have been eye opening to say the least. It has shown me that life is a gift, but very rarely do we take time to enjoy it...

What is the one thing that you fear most? for me the list is endless. I could go on and on and on and on about it before I get to any conclusion. Fears in turn give birth to complexes and in turn those beget esteem issues and the list is endless. Its a downward spiral that never ends.

one of the lessons that i have learnt or I am still learning from my blogging hiatus is that we concede power to a lot of things, situations, circumstances and all the rubbish in our lives that we have no control over. But for many we concede the power of our lives and destiny to people and situations. We allow our situations to define who we are, forgetting that we were created to enjoy life and the fullness of life there in.

"We are the masters of our destiny" is what we are told but in essence we rarely take control of our lives. We allow things, circumstances, situations and peoples views and thoughts on subjects, to govern who we are and what we want. Forgetting that in the end only we know what makes us happy and that can never be prescribed or defined by any one else other than YOU.

This epiphany came to me as I was doing a fabric shoot some time. The en-vogue thing among many young upwardly mobile people now is Ankara. 10 years ago you cold not catch any young person then wearing any of that.. it was considered shady out of touch and a senior citizens dress of choice. 10 years on and nothing has changed much about the fabric. It is still the same abstract patterns and still as beautiful artsitic fabric that it has always been... Now more appreciated and sort after by my generation...

What are the unique happy patterns in your life that make you who you are? Find them, hold on to them and love you for you. Perfect loves drives away all fear... Love the unique value you add to each equation because its more than beautiful it is your unique contribution to humanity....
