FOMO and its consequence
Sunday Dec 03, 2023
Sunday Dec 03, 2023
A little rant that may resonate with you. How much effort do you put into being noticed. STOP. You are enough. The struggle to get attention through social media has created not only a FOMO but tremendous sadness and insecurities that are driving us away from those who really matter - in many cases. I do generalize a bit in this episode and sorry for that. Be with those who are important to you, not the 1000's that are trying to focus on way to much and lose themselves in the process.

Busy? Feeling overwhelmed? Gadgets, social media, tv, video games, and the list goes on of what we spend our day listening to. What about taking the time to listen to you instead of searching for busyness outside of ourselves.

Are you defensive?

Defensiveness destroys countless lives and relationships. Lower our defense system and we may create peace rather than fear. I believe a lack of an ability to be open and honest with people is creating the mental health crisis that is growing in our world. Fear is the root of all evil.
