the hustle problem
I am very much i have a hustling problem.
no not that kind.
the ability to to consistently be on the grind with my photography and creative work. There periods where i feel all motivated, shooting several things in a row like i did back in January and February of this year, and assisting on shoots. but when nothing is clicking in my head or I'm not finding anything to shoot, i kind of just get stuck.
when i can see other people shooting things left and right especially for their own personal progression, i sigh a little because i don't always have that consistent fervor. it's like my "eyes" can't see things to shoot, at least things i think would end up being portfolio worthy.
I used to carry a camera all the time, enough so that people ask me now where my camera is, but i haven't since late last year. the idea of me dragging around a bag that gets slightly heavy as the day goes on, only to not shoot anything, has turned me off.
i haven't given up but things are just not sparkign the way i want them to.

I think a lot of creative people find themselves in a "non hustle" lull. Myself included. It's much easier to sometimes not do anything. But nothing worth anything comes easy.
If you want it bad enough, you have to train yourself to find that discipline. Think of it like exercise. The more you're striving toward your goal and putting your creative brain to work, the more you're going to feel out of sorts if you're slacking. If you do nothing, it's real easy to eventually get comfortable in complacency.
But you gotta ask yourself, do you want it bad enough?
