Taking the Plunge

Hey all it's been a minute since I've last visited the blog, but hey absence makes the heart grow fonder.

So the last/first time I was here I was boasting about the exciting adventures that were awaiting me. I still have the same mindset believe me. However, that's kind of the problem. I have yet to tackle the video production aspect of my internship with two and a half weeks left of this experience.

Some might say that I'm lazy. Some might say I have no freaking clue what I'm doing here. Those some are completely wrong. I feel extremely comfortable with the work load I have and would even like more to do sometimes. I also have a vast amount of knowledge about the companies and production processes that my internship requires of me. I think the only thing holding me back here is success. A fear of success.

Now to some of you this may sound completely childish and stupid. Yeah, you can shut up. This has been a fear of mine for a long time now. I have fully succumbed to it. There have been flashes of exceptional success at my collegiate level. It has not been consistent though. I produce good quality in short spurts. Now one thing that I have been able to keep constant is my battle to try and overcome it. I do a lot of trying. Now it's time to actually achieve.

This "fear" of mine hasn't been what's holding me back all this time in my life. It's obviously myself. I still view myself as a child in ways, but as an adult in others. The acceptance of responsibility is the grey area where the two overlap. With all this negative talk about not getting anything done, I believe it's time for a change, or in my case it's time to accept change. I have to accept that a change of responsibility is imminent. The big boy pants are being taken out of the closet and are ready to be strapped to a vehicle meant for success.

With all of this being said, my next projects for Ivanhoe Village Main Street promotional videos for The Hideaway Bar and Cabinetry Creations Inc. A little fear never hurt anybody. It just means you're scared of what happens if you don't succeed. If you don't change the world. If you end up alone and out of a job. These videos are newest Everest. There's plenty ways of failing here, but there's even more ways succeeding. Now that's a challenge I'm more than happy to accept.

Ivanhoe Village watch out. Because you're about to be put on the spot ready or not. Time to take the plunge!
