Often, I think: “Man, why don`t I seem to be able to figure out some genius plan for my career?” However, thinking about it, it seems smarter to me to just take and engage in one step at a time. To trust the next step and trust that God knows what I don\u2019t, and that he`s still gonna make a lot of things possible for me. Instead of spending time and energy trying to figure out the great, right plan. Because really, ten years ago I wouldn\u2019t have imagined that I would work as a freelance photographer. And twenty years ago, I wouldn\u2019t have even dared to dream that I would cycle across London to spend my morning writing in a coffee shop in Shoreditch.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Who knows what incredible things are in store for us yet! By trying to figure out the future I probably won`t get as far as I would by actually doing the work. Engaging in the very next step, taking one step at a time. By one photoshoot, one blog post, one challenge, one experience at a time, we`re moving forward – seemingly slow but in fact faster – into new wonders and surprises.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

“Mensch, warum f\u00e4llt mir nur kein genialer Plan f\u00fcr meine Karriere ein?”, denke ich manchmal. Wenn ich aber genau dar\u00fcber nachdenke, finde ich es kl\u00fcger, einfach einen Fu\u00df vor den anderen zu setzen und mich auf den Schritt, den ich gerade mache, zu konzentrieren. Und darauf zu vertrauen, dass Gott schon wissen wird, was ich nicht wei\u00df und dass er noch viel f\u00fcr mich m\u00f6glich machen wird. Anstatt Zeit und Energie zu investieren, um den gro\u00dfen, richtigen Plan f\u00fcr mich herauszufinden. Weil ehrlich, vor zehn Jahren h\u00e4tte ich nie gedacht, dass ich mal als freiberufliche Fotografin arbeiten w\u00fcrde. Und vor zwanzig Jahren h\u00e4tte ich mir nicht tr\u00e4umen lassen, dass ich mal mit dem Fahrrad durch London fahren und meinen Morgen in einem Caf\u00e9 in Shoreditch mit Schreiben verbringen w\u00fcrde.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Wer wei\u00df, was f\u00fcr unglaubliche Dinge noch auf uns warten! Wenn ich versuche, auf die gro\u00dfe Zukunftsidee zu kommen, wird mich das wahrscheinlich nicht so weit bringen, wie wenn ich mich einfach an die Arbeit mache. Also meinen n\u00e4chsten Schritt mache und dann den n\u00e4chsten, einer nach dem anderen. Mit einem Fotoshooting, einem Blogpost, einer Herausforderung, einer Erfahrung nach der anderen, geht es weiter \u2013 scheinbar langsam aber tats\u00e4chlich schneller \u2013 zu neuen Wundern und \u00dcberraschungen. \u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
