nowadays so many people post a large part of their lives on social media. i always wonder the motivation behind and why people are so interested in other’s lives.
there is of course good to share some wonderful memories / stay connected with friends, yet unconsciously we might be falling into some kind of compulsion : that we need lots of new experience each day to “live a good life”; or we gave up our own power and allow other peoples’ “like” / comments to determine quality of our experiences.
one might even feel that without going many places / trying out many new things, life is dry / not fulfilled.
over time, there is constant underlying seeking of external stimuli, making it harder for us to divert our attention inwards.
we allow the outside to determine how we feel, without realising that we should be in control of our own thoughts and emotions regardless of what happen externally.
take back the power. there is certainly no need to compete / show off, nor does one need much stimuli for a fulfilled life.
it is the ability to live an extraordinary life out of the ordinary that gives us freedom from the world, thus allowing us to be master of our own destiny.
enjoy the ride!
