A few years back, I couldn`t imagine a time when nobody would ask me about my age anymore when buying cigarettes. Well, I guess, this time has now come. It reminds me though: If I want to reach the dreams that I have concerning my life, I need to take massive action NOW. Throw in all the risk. And pray and hope boldly, expecting the best. I don`t have time to hesitate because I wanna avoid rejection, awkward moments, and failure. I better learn to deal with them, because they are on the route to any goal after all. Otherwise, I will miss my chance to walk the route with crazy and great experiences that God has designed for me, and I would regret this for sure. \u00a0<\/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

A life true to myself<\/h2>\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

Talking about rejection and regrets: there is a book called \u201cThe Top 5 Regrets of the dying\u201d. A nurse who cared for dying patients in their last weeks has written it. Turns out the number 1 regret of her patients was: \u201cI wish I’d had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life others expected of me.\u201d<\/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

On another sidenote relating to the massive action: The other day, I`ve listened to a conversation of celebrity photographer Dan Kennedy <\/a>with entertainment photographer Conor McDonnell. Conor McDonnell started out as a teenager wanting to get into concerts for free. After his first chance to photograph a concert, he wanted to do more.<\/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
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

\u201cI would email everyone and anyone who was playing in Liverpool, I would check the upcoming listings, I would send probably a hundred emails a day, getting two replies. One would be \u2018no\u2019, the other one \u2018maybe- we`ll think about it\u2019\u201d, he says. \u201cSo, to whoever said \u2018maybe\u2019, I would keep emailing them: \u2018I would really, really love to do this, please can I come to do it.\u2019 And eventually, I started building a portfolio of all the bands playing in Liverpool and bigger bands would come, too, which would help, and then I kind of started building it up from there.\u201d<\/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

After time things got easier: \u201cI was at the same venues a lot of the time five nights out of the week.\u201d This way he made the right connections, and later he would be photographing tours of Ellie Goulding, James Morrison, and be the personal photographer of Calvin Harris. None of this would have happened, if he hadn`t fought through the initial time of na\u00efve courage and confident learning \u2013 he learned photography on the job \u2013 and being super persistent. He didn`t let himself get discouraged but kept pressing on boldly and determined until more and more doors opened up for him.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

What do you want to achieve and what massive action would you have to take? Are you hesitating to walk the path to your goals, because you try to avoid the inevitable encounters with failure and rejection on the way? Do you hope for and expect the best for you to happen?<\/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

Noch vor ein paar Jahren konnte ich mir keine Zeit vorstellen, in der mich niemand mehr nach meinem Alter fragen w\u00fcrde, wenn ich Zigaretten kaufen will. Tja, mir scheint, es ist soweit. Das erinnert mich daran: Wenn ich die Tr\u00e4ume, die ich f\u00fcr mein Leben habe, noch erreichen will, dann muss ich JETZT viel tun \u2013 \u201emassive action\u201c. Alles Risiko reinwerfen. Und mutig beten und hoffen – und das Beste erwarten. Ich habe keine Zeit, noch l\u00e4nger zu z\u00f6gern, nur um Ablehnung, unangenehme Momente und Misserfolge zu vermeiden. Sie liegen nun mal auf dem Weg zu jedem Ziel. Lerne ich also besser, gut mit ihnen klarzukommen. Sonst verpasse ich meine Chance, den Weg zu verr\u00fcckten, unglaublichen Erlebnissen zu gehen, den Gott sich f\u00fcr mich ausgedacht hat. Das w\u00fcrde ich auf jeden Fall bereuen. \u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Stichwort Ablehnung und Bereuen: Es gibt ein Buch \u201e5 Dinge, die Sterbende am meisten bereuen\u201c. Eine Krankenschwester, die sterbende Patienten in ihren letzten Wochen betreut hat, hat es geschrieben. Bedauern Nummer eins ist: \u201cIch w\u00fcnschte, ich h\u00e4tte den Mut gehabt ein Leben zu leben, das mir entspricht, und nicht das Leben, das andere von mir erwartet haben.\u201c<\/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

Und noch was zur \u201cmassive Action\u201c: Neulich habe ich ein Interview von Star-Fotograf\u00a0Dan Kennedy<\/a> mit Entertainment-Fotograf Conor McDonnell angeh\u00f6rt. Conor McDonnell begann als Teenager, der umsonst Konzerte besuchen wollte. Nach seiner ersten Chance, ein Konzert zu fotografieren, wollte er mehr davon.<\/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\t\t\t\t\t

\u201eIch emailte jedem, der in Liverpool spielte, ich checkte Listen mit angek\u00fcndigten Konzerten, ich schickte gut 100 Emails am Tag raus \u2013 um zwei Antworten zu bekommen. Eine war \u2018Nein\u2019, die andere \u2018Vielleicht, wir \u00fcberlegen es uns\u2019\u201d, erz\u00e4hlt er. \u201eAlso habe ich denen, die mit \u2018vielleicht\u2019 antworteten, weiter gemailt: \u2018Ich w\u00fcrde so gerne bei euch fotografieren, bitte lasst mich\u2019. Und schlie\u00dflich begann ich, mir ein Portfolio aufzubauen mit all den Bands, die in Liverpool gespielt haben. Gr\u00f6\u00dfere Bands kamen dazu, was half, und von da aus habe ich meine Karriere weiter aufgebaut.\u201c<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Nach einer Zeit wurde es einfacher: \u201cIch war oft an f\u00fcnf Abenden der Woche in den gleichen Veranstaltungshallen.\u201c So kam er zu guten Beziehungen und sp\u00e4ter fotografierte er die Touren von Ellie Golding, James Morrison und wurde pers\u00f6nlicher Fotograf von Calvin Harris. Nichts dergleichen w\u00e4re passiert, wenn er sich nicht durch die Anfangszeit durchgebissen h\u00e4tte. Mit naivem Mut und Zuversicht \u2013 denn er hat bei den Jobs gelernt, gut zu fotografieren \u2013 und Hartn\u00e4ckigkeit. Er hat sich nicht entmutigen lassen, sondern hat entschlossen weiter gemacht, bis mehr und mehr T\u00fcren f\u00fcr ihn aufgegangen sind.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Was w\u00fcrdest du gerne erreichen und welche vielen Aktionen m\u00fcsstest du daf\u00fcr starten?
