My yoga teacher was talking about the difference between hope and optimism. While having a good outlook on life is great, hope will push you a step further.
So I pushed passed a ok photo to find a better photo. I keep feeling like there are huge limits to my point and shoot camera. I want that amazing photo... but I only get a few. But I really like how I am exploring editing and trying new ideas.

Hope is important. Knowing where you are going not just that it's a good place makes sense to me.
