A few years back life was like a routine. I did what I had to do in order to do the same things the next day all over again. I was like a machine programmed to perform the tasks of life without really living. It took a toll on me eventually. I became unsatisfied, grumpy, and bored. I knew things had to change.
Then photography came into the picture.
The first camera I bought with my own money was a Canon Ixus 90 IS. And it was DIGITAL -woah! I could actually see the picture I just took on an LCD screen! I was beyond amazed. AND I could take hundreds of crappy images and delete them to take another hundred more crappy images before getting that one sweet shot and I did not have to pay extra!
It wasn’t long until I realized that photography inspired me to see life through a beautiful filter. Suddenly a vandalized wall was a work of art. That old scowling man in the train would have made a wonderful portrait. Click! Oh! Those lines on his face speak of his life - and what a life it must have been! Simply beautiful. Did you notice the kaleidoscope of colors at sunset? I’m not talking about orange and red here. I’m talking about that subtlest shade of pink just beneath the clouds or that deep line of purple right between the blue and orange. Ever noticed that clouds turn blue at sunset?
I discovered a passion and it changed my life.
Think of that one thing that excites you. What do you think about when you wake up in the morning or what do you daydream about when you sit in the bus? Traveling? Writing? Preaching? Acting? Dancing? Photography? Ask yourself. Is it the prospect of teaching or serving in charity causes? Is it ice skating or soccer? What’s that one thing that makes you smile and see life through a beautiful filter? Discover it. Then pursue it!
Thanks for reading!
