I literally have no control over the sunrise.
I can’t control how many colors show up...
...or where those colors show up...
...or if those colors show up.
All I can control is the time I get up in the morning, the location I shoot at each day, how the shot is framed…
...and my attitude.
This morning my attitude was not great.
I was debating between two locations, and the one I chose didn’t have the best vantage point of the most colorful part of the sunrise.
The colors never really spread out this morning like I wanted them too (because I *totally* have a say in that), so I kept beating myself up for not choosing a better location.
And then the knight from Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade appeared out of nowhere and kept saying, “She chose...poorly.”
Thanks, Knight.
Anyway, when this happens to me, I can’t get out of my own way, and it sucks.
It’s like I only see what I didn’t get instead of what I could capture.
I’m sure that this means I need to start meditating more and learn how to be in the present.
But sometimes my survival mechanisms get the best of me.
Does this ever happen to you?
