Something to think about............

If you keep doing the same things day in and day out, the same things will continue to happen.
In order for things to change, we have to change.
He/she who keeps knocking on doors of opportunity will eventually have a door opened.  There is no way to find opportunity if you stop searching.   Life does not give you what you need, but what you deserve.  Learn how to be happy with what you have, while you pursue all that you want.
Happiness is not an accident nor is it something that you wish for. Happiness is something that you design. Reasons come first answers come second.
If you go to work on your goals, your goals will go to work on you.  If you go to work on your plan, your plan will go to work on you.  Whatever good things we build, end up building us.  Motivation alone is not enough! If you and "idiot" are in a room and you motivate him, now you have a "motivated idiot." Sometimes those who need it the most, are inclined the least.  It is not what you are that holds you back, it is what you think you are not.

Bravo

Awesome though I don't know I agree with the life gives you what you deserve. Cuz I see people who deserve NOTHING, at least nothing GOOD who have everything. Well except peace of mind. So maybe that is what they deserve. LOL

True, DJ! But I believe that every person regarless of whom they are will get what they deserve. Maybe hitting the MegaMillions will not be for us but perhaps it will fall on someone's lap who (in someone's opinion) doesn't deserve it. BTW, I think peace of mind is the best thing we could possibly have.

See that, you answered your own disagreement.
Some people have everything but do they have what they really need? You can have all the toys and nothing but success yet still have an empty life.

if they would pay my airfare I would be there...LOL how is this one different from the other shows?

I wish they could pay your fare, or for that matter, us. The show is different because is not your typical runway show. There's a lot of choreography involved and there are ten fashion designers. I am in all of them and some of them modeling two of their designs. I am extremely happy because Udo will be covering the show and he is a fantastic photographer. I've worked with him before in my prior fashion shows and he is totally a blast to work with. So, if any other models from NY are reading this get a hold of him!! Highly recommended!!

Wow, that was some heavy material! However, it was
very direct, to the point, and true. Some have stated on other forums that we, as photographers and models,
aren' t artists. Here is my 2 cents. We are artists if
we choose to be. Photography is such a vast medium. Some choose to paint and sculpt with the camera; that constitutes an artist's mentality.
Create and capture that which makes you happy.
Continued regards and well wishes all! I proud to have my work alongside such talent.

Thank you so much for your comments!!

Absolutely.

Both Albert Einstein and Ben Franklin are credited with having said much the same thing.

Franklin: "The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results."

Einstein: "Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results."

Classic truths--deep truths--are repeated because they ARE truths.

Tony Robbins, a motivational speaker, brings it up also, but with a different emphasis: "A real decision is measured by the fact that you've taken a new action. If there's no action, you haven't truly decided.".

Or, in the pithy mode: Think. Act.

Thanks for the reminder!
