What Does It Take To Be A Rockstar, A Photographer, A Doctor, A Chef, A Musician, Or Anything That You Can Dream Of For Your Life?

Newport Beach PhotographerGood afternoon from EPHQ everyone!  I just shared this on my Facebook Fan Page & wanted to share it with you here as well in case you miss it today.

As I’m listening to AC/DC live in Munich while I’m working on the photos & footage I captured for The Toscars, I was thinking about what the guys in AC/DC probably had to do or had to have inside of them to reach the successes they’ve had in their musical career.  I was thinking of words like zeal, courage & so many more & then I had to break from post & look up more words online & here’s what I shared that I truly believe we must have in our hearts, souls and minds to succeed in ANYTHING we want to do with our lives.

So with that said, I want to challenge all photographers who follow me here, on Twitter, Pinterest, Facebook and all around every platform that I’m on and in life to have the same:
