The other day I had to be very quiet and patient using my zoom lens to capture this tiny little hummingbird. She was playing with me by darting from place to place over and over again. The experience of trying to photograph her was comical for sure.
I’m grateful that the final photograph wasn’t the only gift. In the moment, I wasn’t thinking about how the exercise of taking her photo mirrored accountability and life! The hummingbird is the perfect metaphor for the world, as life darts around us with all of the external pressures outside of our control, whether it’s our children, work, spouses, clients, or the pressure we put on ourselves to climb the corporate ladder or have the perfect job.
Instead of focusing on the things we can’t control, like the hummingbird, we can endeavor to focus on ourselves and what we can do to enjoy life.
“Accountability breeds RESPONSE-ability.”
