Ant eyes
Last night I took one shot of one ant and this was a crop of it. My best shot to achieve my personal goals was hit. I showed my Son this picture and he said cool and that was usually the extent it. I was then on social media for a minute and naturally I follow macro shot groups and the first post I saw was so good. I showed my Son and he said “that sucks, thats like 300x better. I am sorry that happened”. Although I love the empathy here I told him to hold up because it was only 250x better to begin with.
I let him know outside of my goals and my own personal accomplishments that it did not matter to me that I saw that, that I wont allow outside influences to sway me from my personal goals.
We chatted about perception and how I can be jealous of how much better those other pictures we saw or I cannot be attached to that jealousy and instead say holy shit nature is so beautiful and revel in that instead.
