A Photography Lesson on Life

One upon a time.

I bought a camera.


Mostly because it was fashionable to be a photographer.


I was the go-to guy people would ask to take pictures at the social gatherings.


Weddings, baptisms, birthday parties, I was there.


It didn't matter whether it was day or night.


It was crazy most of the time. I wasn't even paid to take pictures.


Photography is challenging; you've gotta have an eye for it.


But that's not what this story is about.


I tend to sway off the path.


I have a busy mind.


Anyways, apart from taking pictures of other people, I also went around taking random photos.


You know, like the cool photographers in movies.


The explorers.


I took pictures of flowers, trees, food…


And anything that I would come across on my expeditions.


One question always seemed to pop up.


People would ask me why do you take so many pictures.


Apart from trying to build a photo bank for sale online…


…I honestly didn't have a clue why I was taking pictures of random things.


I stumbled upon the answer recently.


I can use those photos to create authentic content and get inspired by those memories.


It was Divinity preparing me for my destiny.


I thank my old self for doing weird things.


Now I have to do more weird things to make things easier for my future self.


What are you doing now to make life easier for your future self?
