Why You Need to Stop, Look, and Click - A Guide to Sanity

avatar

You know that warm, fuzzy feeling when your alarm goes off at 4:30 AM, jolting you into another soul-sucking, caffeine-fueled sprint toward success? Yeah… me neither. It’s more like an existential crisis wrapped in a snooze button addiction. But here’s the thing: that relentless grind? It’s NOT the flex you think it is.

Look, I get it. Hustle culture told you to work 25 hours a day, answer emails in your sleep, and optimize your breathing for peak efficiency. But let me hit you with a hard truth: if you’re running so fast that you forget to look up, you’re sprinting straight into burnout.

Enter: The Camera in My Backpack

No, this isn’t some deep metaphor. I literally carry a camera everywhere I go. Why? Because I refuse to let life blur past me like a LinkedIn motivational post with zero real-world application.

When the world is screaming deadlines, KPIs, and "Can we circle back on this?" emails, I take a second. I stop. I breathe. And I capture moments like this.

(Cue the stunning sunrise shots that make you question all your life choices.)

The Power of a Split Second

A single moment of beauty—whether it’s the golden light hitting the trees just right or a misty morning that looks straight out of a dream—can reset your entire mindset.

And here’s the kicker: when you train yourself to SEE the world differently, you start thinking differently. You stop reacting and start creating. You stop dreading Mondays and start finding inspiration in the everyday.

So yeah, I hustle. But I also stop. I look. I click. And that balance? That’s where the real magic happens.

Your next step? Keep grinding, but don’t be a mindless machine. Grab a camera (or your phone, whatever), step outside, and capture something that reminds you WHY you’re doing all this in the first place.

And if that doesn’t work? Well, at least you’ll have a solid Hive or Instagram post.

PS: Can you guess what the shiny object is that's reflecting the sunset and the trees? Hint: it's not water, nor liquid. Share you guess!

Those are really lovely shots, @borniet, and you're so right about seeing and capturing an incredible photo, it definitely shifts the mood! I looked at that photo for several minutes, and I'm still certain exactly what the reflective surface is if it's not liquid water or ice...lol! 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙
