The Power of Simple Things
It's amazing how simple things are often the most powerful, yet we tend to ignore them precisely because they're simple. We have a peculiar attraction to complexity.
As developers, we log things daily (or at least weekly for those with lighter workloads), so we’re already familiar with logging—whether it’s tracking errors in the browser console or monitoring with tools like Sentry.
Now, imagine waking up every morning to a gentle reminder:
What are you grateful for today?
No stress about deadlines. No celebrity gossip invading your peace. Just a little nudge to pause, reflect, and embrace the good in life.
Life on the Treadmill
Life sometimes feels like an unending treadmill—emails piling up, meetings that should’ve been emails, TikTok rabbit holes, repeat. In this whirlwind, the little joys often slip through the cracks:
- That first sip of coffee.
- A surprise hug from a loved one.
- A hilarious typo in your group chat.
Finding Joy in the Little Things
Let me get personal for a second. I’m big on love and gratitude. Honestly, it feels like we’re the saddest generation—always chasing… something. We’re running, hoping to stop, but we never do.
For an entire year, I committed to practicing gratitude daily. The impact was incredible—it transformed my perspective completely. It's amazing how the simplest things can touch your life so deeply when you pause to truly appreciate them.
No overthinking. I wake up at 4:30 AM, wash my face, brush my teeth, pray, learn for 30 minutes, and start typing:
"I’m deeply grateful for…"
I let the words flow, taking my time. I feel inner peace bubbling up.
You’ll be surprised how quickly your life transforms—a small step toward becoming the best version of yourself.
