My trip to the Waianae Coast

Earlier this week, I took a drive down to the Leeward Coast. It’s a beautiful drive, with the ocean on your left and the mountains on your right. I saw dolphins playing in the ocean, not 50 yards off shore. It was a great opportunity to kick back and reflect.

I enjoy taking pictures, so I parked at a beach and snapped some shots. The sky was gray, the day was windy, but it was a great experience nonetheless.

As I was taking the pictures, I reflected. Here are some of my learnings:


1. There is beauty wherever you are, sometimes you need to look harder to find it.

2. When you think you're done, you're not.

3. Changing your perspective helps you see things that were there all the time just waiting to be discovered. Or it can cover it up completely.

4. You can change the way you see and experience things. You control your experience.

5. If things aren't exactly how you want them, wait a few seconds. It will change again and maybe this time it's perfect.

6. When you think you've seen everything, look again.

7. Be aware of the details. They can make a big difference.

8. Look down. Sometimes the best ideas are right in front of you.
