The world has set you up to trigger you emotionally. News organizations and marketers know you’ll only pay attention when they trigger your emotions – and that’s just what they are doing. They want to inspire fear, conspiracy, conflict and inadequacy.
The television, radio, newspapers, magazines and now your smart phone are their tools of manipulation.
Don’t let them steal your most valuable resource – your attention.
Shut them down, and take control.
This is spot on Larry! Lately I heard in an interesting presentation that social media reactions to your personals posts make your brain emits the same hormones that an addict’s brain emits when facing preferred intoxicating substances. The presenter said that uncontrolled social media consumption is equal to sitting in front of an open bar all day. Indeed, it takes willpower to regain control.
I respect the effort it takes to post these messages each day. That effort recognized is inspiration enough. Today’s message, simple as it may be, is spot on! Many thanks for today and all days.
Steve thank you for messages they are so spot on. Started taking a peak at your Baja experience and it’s awesome. It’s really nice to see your relationship with your son.
Thanks for sharing. Chris
Unfortunately sometimes the damage we create to ourselves before we realize what exactly is going on is irreversible. It is done. We can get past it and move on with a fresh attitude determined to make the most of every single event and lesson. I strive to appreciate the people around me, their hard work and contribution, and to learn to do the best I can to contribute in a meaningful manner. My contribution may be singular but that is the beauty of life. We all have unique gifts and talents to apply. Lets learn to appreciate individuality and each others presence and hard work. Life is sad when you are misunderstood or feel alone. In those moments allow the feelings and rest in order to wake up to realize how truly wonderful life is. The simple gestures make the biggest difference. Be kind to each other.
