Autumn colored ferns

People love flashing titles and labels. Some titles are earned with hard work and dedication. Some assigned, borrowed or bought to appear more glorious and impressive to others. Enforced prestige and classes of society. It is not the titles or the labels that matter nevertheless. It is the use of our values, motivations and abilities that really make the difference. All of these can be improved, changed or dropped. Nothing is set in stone for one on the journey of progress and growth.

Are you peacocking with your flashy feathers? Is that really necessary? Ever wonder what imperfections and flaws are hidden behind the dance? Did you really let it go to your head? Certainly some achievements should be celebrated, but actions speak louder than words. No. Works speak even louder. So keep working, crafting and leveling up. Not for them, for yourself. Sooner or later the real deal will be noticed and appreciated without the dancing.

Hi m31. I hope you are right and the real deal is noticed. A name or a brand is built over time and not over night.

Hi cryptoandcoffe. Maybe not by all and not always in time.

I always love the powerful messages you live behind every photo. Indeed actions speak louder than words

Thank you so much Empress :) I think it is just common knowledge, but people keep forgetting, tangle themselves in everything happening in their lives, placing way too much importance on some things.

Beautiful photos of the autumn setting in... And you know, I can't wait to see the place in full-blown winter time. Hopefully the lake will talk to you again ^^ ...

I'm wondering, as an artist, what would you consider as dancing with one's feathers fully displayed as opposed to tentatively showing people one's work because otherwise it just won't get seen?

I've had my site for ages now without getting a single sale, and someone recently told me to stop being so shy and go out there and tell people "Yes, I am an artist! And here's my work...!"

It is getting quite cold here these couple of days. I was forced to dig up some woolen socks and mostly hide behind blankets. Got to keep pushing myself to move, because it can be quite paralyzing.

I adore people who just do their own thing of being awesome. Not sure if it makes sense. It is almost like it doesn't really matter if they have an audience or anyone to witness the magic they are creating. Maybe some will or do, or not and it still doesn't change anything about their habits or their awesomeness. They can be the grand masters, but are humble to never look down on anyone or their journeys, or have a need for showing off just to get noticed and be in a spotlight.

I guess there is nothing wrong with putting yourself more out there for people to see, but at the same time staying humble and kind to people no matter your own status is what I was trying to say.

Great photo. Happy Saturday!
