Cheers Peter for this. As a 37 year old feeling "old" and "time passing by quickly", your mention hit me of happiness in the pursuit rather than pursuit of happiness. Enjoying the journey is the key!

I know exactly how you feel. That switch in perspective can make all the difference, though. 👍

Beautifully articulated. I turn 40 this year and whilst I still have commitments and young kids, I’ve learnt to care less about what others think. I’m content with what I’ve achieved and feel privileged to have had the gift of life experience. Your words resonated deeply. Good to see these types of videos from a fellow Victorian based petrolhead!

Thanks Peter for another fantastic and timely video. Health is definitely number 1 - without good health life is a damn sight harder. Thank you for all the content you have created in 2023, your perspective on life is spot on and helps keep it real. As a bloke in my early 50's there is a lot that resonates with me I always look forward to receiving your emails and watching your latest videos. All the best to you and yours for a fantastic and healthy 2024.

I’d forgotten that feeling of what-if, imagining taking a completely different course, and the rejuvenating emotions that brings. Time to spend less that 100% of me on my job which has become a means to an end i’m not sure i want or need. So Mr Fritz thank you for promoting the thought and for providing unusually insightful content. Stands apart from the crowd. Please do keep them coming

Well said, Jon. When it all comes down to it, many of us feel the same way, I’m sure. We don’t really want (or need) the end for which we work. Thanks for that insight. 👍

LOL - that will never get old! I'm so glad you dropped by - it's given me a prompt to revisit your channel and learn about your close call in the desert. I'm definitely carrying too much belly fat, so I'm taking your advice, and have just booked an appointment with my GP to get a CAC scan. I'm now checking out TroopyDoc. Thanks, mate, and all the best for 2024!

More sage advice Peter. I love the diretion your content is taking although I still savour accompanying you with camera in hand.

@peterfritzphoto 6 ай бұрын

Thank you, Bill. I’ve written about these kinds of things for years, so I’m finding it harder and harder not to broach them in my videos. I’m still out shooting landscapes (I did some yesterday), but doing a video at the same time often negates the stress-relieving aspects of it. There will be more landscape photography in my videos, but it will likely augment the story rather than *be* the story.

What a great video, and what a way to tell a story. I guess most of us want to change our lives in a way or another, I for one always want to, when i feel that I reach a plateau in one aspect of my daily life, usually professionally. Please, never stop putting your thoughts on video :)

You are looking really healthy, Peter, so we can tell you are walking the talk! Great motivation to wrap up the year and serendipitous timing as I was just having some of these same conversations with myself this evening when I decided to stay up late and watch just a little more You Tube! And there you were! Have a great 2024!

Agree on all those points Peter with some resonating especially 😀 . I enjoy your philosophical pieces even if to me you are but a youngster 😀 . Not sure if you follow him but Sean Tucker has some really deep photographyly centric philosophical pieces. 😀 After 43 years in engineering certainly on retirement I’ve finally had the freedom (and time) to exercise the other side of my brain and as you say the access to problem solving and learning are massively larger than when I started work in 73 (in the slide rule era !) . Seasons greetings to you and your family and all the best for 2024 😀

@peterfritzphoto 6 ай бұрын

Yes, I'm very familiar with Sean's work, and I certainly appreciate his insights and intellect. Thanks so much for all your generous support, Chris, and for all your thoughtful commentary throughout the year. Take care of yourself, and here's to another go around the sun. 🙂
