Taking On Challenges Builds Confidence...Even If You Mess Up

The American Psychological Association has documented that there are certain paradoxes that people often experience:

• Why do many people who seemingly have every reason to feel good about themselves often feel inadequate?
• Why is it that some people, no matter how many times those around them give them genuine praise for who they are and what they do, tend not to believe those who are saying good things about them?
• Why do some very gifted people who have acheived all sorts of crazy success and worldwide affirmation feel like imposters, like if anyone saw them for who they really were that they would be unmasked and exposed as frauds?

How To Get Free Professional Photos For Your Blog Posts & Website

A photos speaks a thousand words... (What does this one say to you? It's telling me that I should have dessert tonight.)

Yes, if at all possible, I love to include photos with my blog posts. I think it catches a reader's attention, and it helps set the tone for the post.

Okay, so where do you get photos to put in your blog posts?

Some people just do Google searches and look for images there, but that's kind of dangerous. If you make the blunder of posting a photo that is copyrighted...watch out! There is an increasing number of people taking legal action for copyright infringement of photos.

A second popular option is Flickr.com. I've used that site a lot, and it has worked fine for the most part.

For a long time Flickr was the only place I would look, but then I found Fotolia.com and very quickly became spoiled for any other photo site!

I never realized it before because I didn't really know that there were any other options, but now that I've been using Fotolia for a while (mainly using it for posts I do for my clients' blogs) I'm realizing that in the past I made finding photos for blog posts harder than it needed to be.
