Most people are consumers rather than creators.
Nearly every second spent on social media is consumed time. You can’t have that time back. Rather than making your future better, it actually made your future worse. Just like eating bad food, every consumed moment leaves you worse off. Every invested moment leaves you better off.
Entertainment is all well and good. But only when that entertainment is an investment in your relationships or yourself.
Most people wish their circumstances would magically change for them. They don’t have the desire to become better themselves so they can proactively improve their own circumstances.Your number 1 investment must be yourself.
Who you are determines:
the quality of marriage you’ll have
the quality of parent you become
the quality of work you produce
the level of happiness you have
— Jeniffer Czekalinski from BBCN“A life that doesn’t include hard-won accomplishment and triumph over obstacles may not be a satisfying one. A life devoted only to the present — to feeling good in the now.”
— David Park from @iwthemes“True happiness — joy — is fundamentally different than momentary pleasure. Not to say momentary pleasure is inherently bad. However, it often gets in the way of something more real and lasting.”
— Caroline Harcourt from VeganFood“Anything worth doing brings a satisfaction that distraction never can. Don’t give into the resistance. Push through the difficulty. That’s where a joy that those who stop will never taste.”
