One thing I have learnt in life, late perhaps but never too late. Savour my victories, enjoy the moment, do it with a certain style or panache. Never over the top or proving to people how difficult it was, or how great it is to stand there looking like a buffoon, but just doing it and relishing the moment - quietly. Yes, take some shots for posterity, but in all reality, do you ever go back and see your holiday pix, wedding pix or earlier stuff ?
90% of my readers would sheepishly say to themselves "No".
I know many people want the "look at me, how wonderful life I have" to show to the whole world how fabulous their life is. If you stop and think about it, when you are out savouring the view say from a mountaintop, why not just take it all in ? There are millions who have "been there and done that' way before you. So how great are you at taking that selfie with the gorgeous mountain view in the background ?
What you would actually do, is to create envy amongst those who have not been there.
And the point is that, you would actually be so engrossed taking the perfect picture to enjoy or savor the moment.
Now, that would be truly pathetic wouldn't it ?
