Balancing passion with patience

I'm crouched in position, mark spotted, ready to take my shot. As Mel Gibson said in the movie, Brave heart, steady... steady...and click, I have it. With a smile and a nod I let my couple know I got the shot I wanted. 
Not only do his wise words come to my head when I'm doing a photoshoot, but really when I'm thinking about every area of my business.  I started this journey 8 months ago.
Some days I'm beaming with pride thinking of how far I've come; some days I'm humbled with the thought of how little I truly know.
It's a constant battle for me to not let this passion I have take over my whole life-all of my thoughts and all of my energy. I have to remind myself to find beauty in the ride-in the journey itself.
So here I sit, balancing passion with patience. Steady...steady.
