Life.
LIFE is something special, something unique to YOU.
You. Who are you?
Really think about it for a minute. Who are you? Uninfluenced by people, apart by family, who are you?
Without the media. Social media.
You aren’t just a few likes and comments. You aren’t just a profile where you go a mile to get the
attention of people.
These days, people don’t live their own lives. Before YOU live YOUR life you go on your phone and see
videos of your friends cat while you are still lying on your back waiting for the day you could live like
that.
Your “friends”. Your “followers”.
They post photos of themselves across the world, living what you think is the best life, but you gotta get
up and take a knife and carve your new sights, YOUR BEST LIFE.
Leave the screen behind.
These people you see on the internet may be out in the world living but I bet it’s not fulfilling. When you
hide behind the screen it’s like a fake smile in a magazine.
They could be out in the mountains, living, but not living in the moment. They whip out the phone and it
becomes about living in other people's lives, other people living in theirs.
LIVE IN THE MOMENT, LIVE YOUR LIFE.
It’s bad when the dopamine depends on what’s on a screen and not on what is green.
At this point you don’t have a life. You are a camera lens, a machine like a Mercedes Benz. You are a
robot, you produce, you repeat, seduced by the media.
Breathe. Put the camera down. Live, live, live in your life. For it’s yours, unique to YOU. Don’t skew
your point of view, don’t let the media consume you.
