Very interesting your publication, it's like you say, we choose what to look at, what to focus on (positive or negative), and we also choose where to put our energies.
Very nice images that you publish in your posts. You capture them near the area where you live?
Hi Sofi, thank you for your nice words. I tend to simply write about my experiences. Everything I say here comes from an experience I've had or observation I have made in real life. Judging by your profile photo I'd say I'm a lot older than you so those experiences are many when compared to yourself I suppose, although I have read enough of your work to realise you are an intelligent person and a thinker, so I'm sure you have your own opinions and thoughts.
The images I use are about seventy percent from around where I live and thirty percent from vacations and trips overseas and within my country. I have so many more however as I choose to mask my identity here I cannot use them. I am pleased you like them. I prefer to use something of my own rather than an image from one of those free image sites.
I like to read about other people's experiences, it's a way to learn. That you are older than me gives me some information but I don't know if you are a He or a She, anyway I respect that you want to protect your identity, and I like you. (I mean, "me caes bien")
Likewise, thank you for the compliments, it's good that I sound intelligent in another language that is not my mother tongue!
All your pictures are beautiful, in Steemit I took images from the internet, but here in Hive I prefer to solve with my own images. I think that a post that is 100% yours, in image and text, is more valuable.
I completely agree in that a post with one's own images presents much better to the community; It shows personality and that you have applied a little effort to take the images. They don't have to be spectacular, just nice enough to present yourself well. Blurry images are frustrating to me as it shown that the person didn't care enough to retake the image and present themselves in the best way.
Age doesn't always bring wisdom, or intelligence for that matter; Experience can though. Really that's all wisdom is based on...Experience turned into thoughts, opinions and a life-ethos also I suppose. I know many people who have gone through their lives without finding wisdom; They make the same mistakes over and over, allow fear to hold them back from new things or the pursuit of their goals and continue to constrain themselves within the same paradigm as always. It is limiting.
It is much better to open up, allow experiences to soak in and to proceed with the understanding that what once was, doesn't always have to be.
You'll be fine I think; You're smart and I believe will find wisdom also, throughout your life. :)
Your words reflect wisdom and humbly, thank you very much for sharing them with me and the community. For now I'm going, it's already night here, I wish you a happy day
Thank you, have a nice sleep and I'll see you around the blockchain at some stage. :)
