As humans, we are naturally selfish. Our wants, dreams, desires, purpose- all circulate around who we are. It's in our nature. This is a reminder to be unselfish in these desires, your dreams, your wants and purpose- and how much more of a fulfilling life that is.
Your life needs won't be filled on your own; invest in others, be better for others. Work for others. Find life in others.
Do this over a cup of coffee. On a walk. A FaceTime call. A random text of encouragement. Be a light, be present in other’s lives.
Time is so easy to waste. To sit there, not work. Not learn. Not put in effort.
Change this- write someone a letter, read a good book, tear out a recipe in a magazine and make it. Live with spontaneity of never doing nothing.
Be selfish in this- surround yourself with good people, they will make you better. They will challenge you to be better, change your ways. How to live bigger.
Now, happiness.
You've heard it, you live it. Our lives surround social media- it influences how we think, what we do, how we dress, and how we act. we have an image of how we are supposed to appear in society, to others. That’s what consumes and defines us. We chase a new u, always evolving with the trend, forgetting we aren’t a trend.
We are uniquely made. We are a masterpiece made intricately and carefully with a plan and a purpose in mind. Social media can’t influence who you are, unless you let it. Remember who you are, and don’t lose sight of it.
A simple snapchat, a text, or photo that pops up on your tiny device can ruin your whole day. You are a living, human being. This device in your hands, is at your will- you decide its capabilities. Is that nasty text from a friend, a snapchat of your friends without you, or the boy you like with another girl on Instagram, going to dictate your day?
No.
Put down the phone- better yet, shut it off. Throw it across the room, and walk away. Shut the door on it, and leave it powerless. Go live you; live your life. Not through a phone, not at the mercy of other people. Be YOU.
So the second you’re reflecting your worth, how your living your life, remember.
You are you, no one else. You are made uniquely and wonderfully. Never change, unless for the better, not for something else trying to fit in. Drop the phone- it’s not worth it. Look around you- live. Invest in people- drink good coffee, eat good food. Take long walks, until your legs fall off. Be productive- dream big, work hard. Feel fulfilled, not by things but by people and by the way you live your life- beautifully, unselfishly, and that’s how you live fully.
