Seeing the Beauty in Life


Have you ever wondered how people can look at the same view and yet never see the same thing?

Years ago, I was setting up my camera and tripod to take a beautiful seascape picture near Big Sur, California. Two men hiking along the trail paused as they passed to see what I was photographing. As they walked away, I overheard one of the men say, "I’ve walked this trail hundreds of times, but I’ve never seen what he sees."

So often people only see what they’ve seen before with the same mindset, yet the beauty in life is often discovered when we see things as if for the first time. Creativity and inspiration come from seeing things in a new light which often leads to incredible innovation that benefits us all.
