As I mentioned yesterday, we had back to back weddings this past weekend. What I noticed at both weddings was all of the cameras—phone cameras and real, professional-grade cameras. People were taking pictures of the bride and groom, dances with poignant people, crazy fun dancing, groups of people, and more. All of the cameras were focused on the important people and memorable moments—nothing else.

No one with a camera, professional or not, stopped to take a picture of the glass that accidentally fell from one happy dancer’s hand and shattered on the carpet. Nor did anyone take a picture of any other mishap or mistake. And if they happen to capture a non-memorable moment, do you know what they did with that photo? Right, they deleted it, and perhaps took another shot. 

We apparently have a lot to learn from the camera. Focusing on what’s important, for sure. Really look to capture what’s significant and meaningful, like people, not things. The purpose of the camera is to capture, forever, the good times in your life. We don’t pull out a camera when we get a flat on the highway for good reason—it’s not what we want to focus on or remember. So take a moment to see where you are focusing your “camera.” We tend to focus our mind on the negative and our camera on the positive—only one of those needs to be adjusted. 

Let’s GO! WE GOT THIS!
