Dear friend,<\/p>\n

There is only one you. So why waste time, resources, and energy trying to be someone else?<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

You are you.<\/h2>\n

\"eric<\/p>\n

As a photographer, artist, and human being– you are one of a kind. There is nobody in the world with the same life experiences as you, the same social relationships, or the same perspective\/world-view as you.<\/p>\n

\"ERIC<\/p>\n

Have the courage to define yourself. Define your personal goals in life, what you consider your supreme\/epic massive life’s task, and who you think you are.<\/p>\n

As Cindy told me,<\/p>\n

\n “If you don’t define yourself, someone else will define you for you.”\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

How to define yourself<\/h2>\n

\"Eric<\/p>\n

How should you define yourself?<\/p>\n

My suggestion:<\/p>\n

\n Don’t worry about what others will think of you, whether others will think you are bragging, or whether others will think you’re not being “humble.”\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"Eric<\/p>\n

Be brutally honest with yourself — don’t censor yourself. Proclaim what you’re awesome at, what your strengths are, and and you personally define as important in your own life.<\/p>\n
