"AIN'T NO MOUNTAIN HIGH..."

"TWENTY YEARS FROM NOW YOU WILL BE MORE DISAPPOINTED BY THE THINGS THAT YOU DIDN'T DO THAN THE ONES YOU DID DO, SO THROW OFF THE BOWLINES, SAIL AWAY FROM THE SAFE HARBOUR, CATCH THE TRADE WINDS IN YOUR SAILS. EXPLORE, DREAM, DISCOVER" MARK TWAIN

Now, I know the photos to follow in this post have nothing to do with water or sailing as such.. I just felt that the intro quote was appropriate for the grandness of what I saw one morning watching the sunrise over the mountains in Canberra (Namadgi National Park & Corin Dam). In the metaphorical sense of the words above, I felt as though my soul and spirit had done just that when I was amongst the mountains that day. I caught the wind in my sails and discovered.. Even when editing the photos I was in awe. Photographs can really speak to people in quite miraculous ways. Especially in my case, a photograph takes me to places I am yet to see and discover. It can represent a hope, or a promise of what's to come.

My mind has been cast to mountain scapes lately. So getting to do this shoot on a crisp 1 degree Saturday morning feat a 6 AM wake up was well worth it. Now that I've experienced this scenery, I'm itching to travel more and see more mountains around Australia, and double itchy to go to Canada during snow season. I get goosebumps just staring at the photo above.. Small little me staring at these enormous scenes causes me to believe the impossible. My faith rises. Hope grows. My sight is cast beyond the valley to the very tip of those hills.

If you can believe the impossible can be possible than stand firm on that and don't sway away from it. That dream to one day own your own business - it can, and will happen. That idea that dropped in your mind a few months back - yes, it can come to life. That dream job you're hoping to get - yes you can get it. That desire, or thing, or need, or want that you have deep within you - it can belong to you. Your faith can move mountains. Commit to the journey required to get you there and bite at it a little bit each day.

Staring at this scenery all fear within me immediately ceases. Like c'mon! If this place can grow and abide and flourish the way it does than nothing is impossible! I have a moment of fear and anx almost everyday but I've learnt to override it with faith. Good days and bad days come, and I'm thankful we have a mix of the two because the bad ones always teach you to be thankful. 

So may your faith rise, your fear disappear, and your hope remain sure in the fact that nothing is impossible in your life. EXPLORE. DREAM. DISCOVER... IT WILL REVOLUTIONISE EVERYTHING.
