From Ordinary to Extraordinary : Stone, Beauty and Perception [learn from nature series]

Usual stone to the beauty object

Beautiful, a word that gives rise to a series of pleasing thought, curiosity and always interesting. Everyone who say about the beauty will bring praise from themselves and others surely. The photos have displayed and the videos has shared, promote all forms of beauty mostly. As a person who enjoys photography I often display beauty. But.... today, I study more deeply about how beauty occurs.

Rocks are generally classified based on mineral and chemical compositions, with the texture of elemental particles and by the processes that form them and become frozen, sedimentary and metamorphic. That is explanation about Stone in Geology. But before definition was formed, stones were limited to solid objects that had been found on earth and were used as supports for houses, roads and other buildings commonly or just being rock in the mountains, in the sea and everywhere. In addition, stones is great benefits for humans, sought when necessary, ignored when unnecessary. That normally. But ... how we can make the normally to extraordinary ? How to change usual perception ? Please see what I do.

Stone, reality and perception process

I stated above about an important lesson that I got from Stone. What is that ? This is my story today. My narrative below was born after I realized the ordinary things we could make it to extraordinary. Initially, I noticed there some fist-sized stones in my office yard, at first glance these stones were normal, then I saw weeds grew tightly and very green over there. An initiative appeared in my head to place the stones on the green weeds. And wow ... the stone turns beautiful with a charming green background, first this stone just a stone with black colour, dirty maybe, but how do yo see it now ? Beautiful, isn't it ?

My first perception about stone just ordinary, usual and normal stone, but when I placed it on green weeds and turned back into a good object in my photography, it changed my view about the ordinary thing, about this stone. This change that I call a perception process, please never judge something as usual, try to make something usual to extraordinary. Or is this just my view? How about you ? Feel free to comment below

In fact, if something looks normal, look usual but when we are smart to put it in a good place, then we can change it to beautiful and interesting thing. We can start this from simple things around us. Pick up the rubbish when you see it and you make the world clean, provide a rubbish place in your car and then you always find the clean street and don't throw it through the window because make you as bad person in people perception, throw the seeds from fruits or vegetables you eat into empty yard so its becomes a trees one day. Hopefully this change perception useful, and we can try it in other ways and certainly you know it how to make it.

Conclusion

Judgments, perceptions and mindset or whatever they are called are processes that we can shape and change, there is no need to follow most opinions. As long as you believe that is true and it is positive for you and to the others, just do it. Important, nature has teaches us a lot with its silence, as humans we are given mind, idea, reason, intellect and intelligence, please learn from the silence of nature, take life lessons from it, and hopefully it can make you the best human being with beautiful perception.

The usual assessing is perception but there some ordinary things that can be extraordinary things as long as you are able to get out of your usual perception and you are required to see from another perspective. The mind is in your head, thought is the result that comes out of your head, ink is only a mixture of chemicals, but when you write your thoughts, it will become golden thought that remember for all time.
