When you think of all those things that stop you from moving forward, how far down your list do you go before you find social media?
When you think of all those things that stop you from moving forward with making changes, how far down your list do you go before you find social media? We’ve got so used to discussing the perils and pitfalls of social media that we’ve become desensitised to how it affects our day-to-day lives.
We must be honest and acknowledge that the desire to be like someone else is never motivating. Your reason for being on this earth is not to be a better version of everyone else but to be the very best version of yourself. To do this requires connecting directly with your own life experiences, your inner wisdom, your individual ability and your very own personal aspirations. No surprises then that you won’t find any of this on someone else’s social media feed.
What happens next not many will admit to, but most will recognise. You make yourself better by finding those who you believe don’t have as much as you have, who haven’t achieved what you have and wait to feel better in yourself because of it. You fall into the trap of trying to pursue validation that what you’re doing is good enough, that you are good enough.
It’s all a choice, it’s your choice. Taking them out of your space gifts you with that room to breathe and to regain perspective; to focus on fighting your own insecurities without adding to them. Keeping them there simply keeps you small.
