There's a parable about this Taoist Master who's seen standing by a mountain view.

They ask the Master: are you meditating? And the Master says no, I'm just standing here.

They ask the Master: are you contemplating nature? And the Master says no, I'm just standing here.

They ask the Master: are you waiting for something? And the Master says no, I'm just standing here.

Sometimes it's okay to just stand there.

It's nice to sometimes let the world pass by instead of always trying to keep up
