Ouch! You are speaking to my soul! I'm 50 years-old, working a job that I hate, and juggling my photography projects to get to that place where I finally can quit and follow my passion full-time. Right now my projects include backpacking once a month, building a website, growing (very slowly) a KZbin channel, physical print sales at three consignment stores, and improving my technique through the Dave Morrow Photography School. I'm overwhelmed, but I try to follow many of the principles that you outlined here. Thanks for the encouragement from knowing that anxiety and waning motivation are just a natural part of the process. I, too, get a high when I complete a project - even when I don't get the views, likes, sales, or subscribers that I hope for.

Your message was perfect timing for me to hear. I was loafing most of the morning trying to kickstart my day. Thanks for the reminder the importance of creating projects.

[@andyblessett1282]

This is very motivational, I'm in my 70's and I've found that the less I do the less I wanna do. I know I can do better but I cant get myself in the right mind set

[@michaelatomcal6211]

Dave Morrow, Wilderness Warrior, Landscape Photographer and Life Coach. 🙌 I needed this shot in the arm tonight. Thank you!

[@wjgraham63]

So very true. I felt that way just yesterday, trying to make excuses. I finally went out, and it was just amazing. I would have missed amazing things to photograph. Plus the exercise I got out of it. Thank you for the awesome video. It really spoke about my thoughts and actions.

[@MrGeoff]

Thanks for the video, it was the jolt I needed right now. You’re so right about putting things off, it does become like creeping doom. Do the worst thing you have to do first and then the rest of the day seems easier by comparison

[@lomoambienceofnature]

I am very happy that I came across your video. Everything you said is so true, just pushing every morning and not getting bored. I am myself a filmmaker and adventure photographer, so when I'm not on a shoot, I sometimes fall down. Thank you very much for your advice.

[@williamw7847]

Thanks Dave ... excellent advice on life in general, not just photography

[@zigatretjak75]

Yep, it goes for everything in life!

[@philiphatton]

Excellent self reflection and wise words… or perhaps too much coffee this morning 🤷‍♂️

[@jethrostebbings]

at 9:50 minutes in, this man described me like he had been living in my head for the past 10 years. RIP.

[@karlzeller3615]

Thanks again for a great message Dave .

[@rickgardiner6380]

I've watched you for quite a few years now, and think this is THE BEST video you've done so far. But, I also know you still haven't made YOUR BEST and look forward to continuing to learn from you. You remind me so much of Sean Tucker because you share the same approach to photography, life and creativity. I respect, and thank you both very much!

[@davidsauer8072]

Great video Dave! Timing is really good also. After the past couple years of self-imposed lockdown because of Covid the committee members in my head had taken over my head! It's just been the past month or so that I've been able to get myself going. About a month ago I had gotten myself, and camera gear, to my favorite waterfall. The water level was a bit low at that time of the year and I was able to position myself in a spot right at the top of the falls to take a shot upstream , sitting on a rock just above the water level so I could shoot underneath a large cedar bow to capture the fall colors up above the falls. I sat there for probably an hour or more working on using your composition and focusing method. I took many exposures focusing in many different spots and using different aperture and shutter speeds. When I was finished and packing my gear up I realized, for the hour or so that I was focused on the beautiful scene before me, it was just me and my camera! All the deflating voices were quiet! What a wonderful feeling! Unexplainable! I thank you for what you started 7 years ago!

[@evangelinemartin850]

Thank you ,ure the best professor, I learned a lot from you,than going to photography school. Shoot a lot and study them period.know the capacity of your camera pay attention of your light. Best of you be blessed always.

[@DaveMorrow]

Thanks so much!

[@nickrailer2202]

Dave thank you so much for sharing this, truly inspirational and thought provoking

[@marionberger5627]

Such wise wisdom and so very true! Thank you so much!!

[@fredkrampetz9612]

This was an excellent motivational video. It helped me to get off the couch.

[@ianbachanek2538]

Great video and wise words! I definitely get caught in the paralysis by analysis time to time. But making a list has made a difference.

[@RuthAlves-kk4bx]

Thank you, you described me to a T. Retired six years and nothing to show for it. Will get that list going.

[@robertnelson3614]

I SO needed to hear this message right now in my life. Thanks so much for sharing these powerful thoughts.

[@DaveMorrow]

Glad it was helpful!

[@markgraham218]

Well stated and what you speak of is the truth.

[@dantebellino5111]

Nice message. I've been putting off really digging into my photo editing, thinking I'll do it when I have a little more time. This is the message I needed to get off my ass and dig in.

[@ditruter]

I am an engineer and each of your thoughts is exactly the same as mine. My brain needs to create every day, big or small things, but I need to create things that are challenging for me. I have the need to continue learning to continue creating and that is what keeps me alive and happy. The hobby of photography allows me to learn endlessly and create endlessly, I think that's what keeps me hooked. In my humble opinion this is your best video because you have magnificently described everything that goes through my head. I even always start with the task that is more complicated and I never waste time thinking that maybe I won't be able to do it, I just get on with it and the doubts dissipate.

[@arcticdesertlife]

Thanks Dave for this heart felt real talk. Been following you for years and learning Astro and landscape photography from your videos and emails. This is every self help book and course summed up in one video. Reminds me of this one book I read called THE SLIGHT EDGE. Now get after it! 🙌📸😊

[@paulsteele8079]

Excellent topic and great life advice!

[@scotty4418]

Recognise a lot of what you were saying in your video Dave. My biggest enemy is procrastination but it's a battle that I have strategies for winning. One of them is having time managed plans. For example when I completed an image I was working on, it could be a week before I done anything else photography wise, but now use the time in between edits when I am at home to complete low level photography tasks such as curating my image library or do some work on my website and this provides a pathway back to starting the next edit. I now also have a larger scale project that I have formulated which also keeps my creative desire running in the background as I continue to develop my plan to execute it. Great advice and as always grateful for hearing your inner thoughts

[@dougstevens9973]

Thanks for the kick in the butt, Dave. It's easy for me to get despondent during western Montana's gloomy winter (think Seattle but. with snow), especially when one suffers from SAD. I think your approach is a great prescription to get through it!! I will implement it tomorrow, or the next. day, or....... Haha - just kidding! :) Doug

[@ChucoHiker]

What a great message! As a society we are often taught to fear failure, that failure is bad. But the reality is that failure is learning, failure can be good and we shouldn’t let fear of failure keep us from trying something new. But sometimes it’s hard not to fear it, and your advice in this video is a great tool for tackling it. Thanks for your content, I enjoy it because it is so original compared to so much that is out there.

[@TomB-un7iv]

Thanks you for the timeless message, Dave. Years ago my students would procrastinate on projects and then all the feelings you described began to rule their minds. I came across the Pomodoro Technique developed in the late 1980s. We started small. Most agreed they could set a timer for 20-25 minutes and focus on the task at hand. When the timer went off, they were to get up and do something relaxing like go for a jog, throw the ball for the dog whatever. They found that often their mind didn't quit working on the project and ideas surfaced that surprised them. And they could see progress being made over time. I'm not perfect, but I still try to incorporate that idea in my days. It really does help with the guilt and other negatives and the upside are ideas that come and surprise me at the weirdest times.

[@MartinBernierPhotographe]

Thank you, thanks to you I went out today 👍

[@netwalker2005]

Thanks for a great message, very motivating!! 👋

[@malcolmtully9399]

Ouch!, I really needed this. Thanks

[@GSHPhotography]

Well said Dave!

[@johnwelday199]

Usually I find motivational videos, books, etc, to be pretty boring and common sense, but I love your approach. One thing I wanted to point out though is that you said that KZbin isn't a big revenue stream for you. Maybe not directly, but I'm guessing that a lot of your workshop and online school revenue is generated by people who saw your YT videos.

[@410wright]

Awesome message!!!❤

[@geraldhallee3170]

Thank you very much Dave, I think the world would be very different if only half the people would try to do everything you teached us in that short video. Once more A VERY GOOD THANK YOU and keep on going.

[@grahamholmesphotography]

Thank you. This helped me a lot

[@dychui]

Your video comes at a great time in my photographic journey. I love the 90 minute idea and just jumping at the thing that’s giving you the most anxiety.

[@mfuller1093]

Great video Dave, Over thinking and under acheiving has been a constant problem for me.

[@edc641]

Brilliant video, thank you! Cheers - Jade 🤙

[@lindahenderson2113]

Thank you, Dave! You have motivated me to get my butt out of bed to go photograph some eagles at a nearby lake. Been wanting to do this for months!

[@Viktoryous]

You got eagles at a nerby lake.. and you didnt go 😅 I wish I had eagles at my nearby lake 😂

[@hybboul7377]

Thanks Dave, you had me until you mentioned the cold plunge. Ha ! I live in Alberta and we have just gotten over -40 c weather I like your idea about the 90 minutes to help plan my day. Take care.

[@MadsPeterIversen]

Wise words - until the daily ice baths! 😅

[@DaveMorrow]

You gotta try it out. Addicting:)

[@jamesurzykowski4918]

I like the outdoor gear you show in your background! Since you go out in rugged terrain do you carry a satellite emergency transmitter with you? If so what kind do you use?

[@DaveMorrow]
