Social media often paints a picture-perfect life. But behind the carefully curated feeds, reality is often different. While it’s a great platform to connect with others, it’s important to remember that what we see online is often just a highlight reel.
Don’t compare your behind the scenes to someone else’s highlight reel. Your journey is unique and beautiful in its own way. Enjoy your life. Social media is the illusion of perfection.
If you have time to complain, If you have time to feel like shit, If you have time to procrastinate, If you have time to check social media, Then, you have time to meditate, you have time to write your journal, you have time to create a list of goals, you have more than enough time to be a better individual.
Everyday you wake up, imagine the list of things you are grateful for and start working towards becoming a better version of yourself. Life is an easy thing & you must enjoy your journey.
Social media is designed to make you think: Maybe I should be somewhere else. Maybe I should do something else. Or Maybe I should be with someone else.
But, if you always think your happiness is somewhere else, happiness will never be there where you are.
Social media is the breeding ground for unhappy people. Make sure you are happy in real life, not in social media.
Social media is like looking in the fridge over & over. You know there’s nothing good but you check it so many times that eventually you start consuming things you don’t even like.
Posting Less, doing More. Comparing Less, reflecting More. Discussing Less, accomplishing More.
Don’t compare your life with the carefully curated snippets of other people’s lives that you see on social media. It’s not the big picture you’re seeing, but only what they choose to disclose.
In a world of algorithms, hashtags and followers, know the true importance of human connection. Social media is not a media. The key is to listen, engage, and build relationships.
I can’t understand those people who have followed 500+ accounts in Instagram.
1. That makes your account look like a fake account. 2. Do you really have that much free time/interest to track posts/updates of 500 people/brands? 3. If you followed those 500 accounts just because there’s a follow button, what category of silly/dumb you should be categorised? 4. What’s the last time you thought you should clean it? Because that’s a dead giveaway of your entire interest/personality/preference/choices/stupidity. 5. If social media is to connect with friends & family, do you really have 500+ family & friends as your necessary contact?
Let me tell you how I see it? For an example; I like Dwyane Johnson (The Rock), in my early teen days I used to like his WWF matches, now I like his action movies. But I don’t like his tequila brand, I am not a fan of alcohol in general. I also don’t like his energy drink brand, because all energy drinks use 3-4 similar scammy ingredients which can damage human liver/kidney/gut on a longer run. And “The Rock” always promotes his tequila & energy drink brand in every next Instagram post, my hands never allowed me to touch that follow button till today.
Don’t compare your life with the carefully curated snippets of other people’s lives that you see on social media. It’s not the big picture you’re seeing, but only what they choose to disclose.
You don’t need to keep sharing things on social media. You can still grow and glow in private, and that’s all that matters.
