when we believe.

i attended an event tonight. at the time it was inspiring.

now. it seems. almost like it could be. could be. life changing.

i know. that sounds dramatic. but seriously. why not? why not be dramatic? why not try to believe?

a presentation. about "celebrating what's right with the world" by dewitt james.

a fascinating look at how to live your life. from a photographer's perspective.

since i aspire to be an amateur photographer (guess i am an amateur, so more of a pre-pro), i was fascinated. besides the obvious. the photos were tremendous, the framing was perfect. but the perception. his perception was eye-opening.

"instead of looking at what was wrong with a photo, i looked at what was right." how true. is. that? how often. how often. do i look at what is wrong. instead of what is right.

instead of focusing on the bad that comes from rough. or tough. situations. i need to look at what is good. good. there is a lot of good. i've seen a lot of it in the past few weeks. and for that i am thankful. very thankful.

i loved his quote. "perception controls our reality and if we don't believe it we won't see it."

i'm going to focus on the good. and see if i can believe it.
