Stop Consuming Information

I am an avid reader on the internet, I read different type of articles written by different people. But, now I am afraid for the human race. The way everything is available through the internet the world is consuming too much information.I came across following adds while watching TV

Living your life by staying single

Doing what makes you happy

Quit job & start traveling

You only live once

Swipe right to get a girlfriend

All of these are just examples of what is being taught to us now without thinking that these thoughts are toxic for the human brain if they don’t understand it fully.

It is ok to keep yourself happy, but we need to understand that there is no gain without pain. There is no short cut for success. These so called quotes are ok if you are in the twenties, thirties even forties as you are fit, young & can fight with the world.

But, nobody is thinking about life after 50. If you will stay single forever, you will be single in the later part of your life, you never made any deep relationship with a person, nobody to talk to, nobody to call. How gonna we survive then?

It is very easy to think nothing bad will happen to us. But, it is not the case in a real life. Things get weird, shit happens & we can’t do anything about it. The best we can do is to fight with the circumstances & prove our mettle.

We should learn from people who have already been there. Not through some lifestyle magazine. They are just manipulating your mind.

God gave us a beautiful gift called mind. Use mind to think what is bad for you & what is good for you. It is you who will suffer not the others. Stop comparing yourself with the others. You are unique & blessed. If you are different appreciate it, rather trying to fit in with the crowd; stay out of the league & be proud of yourself.

The real happiness comes after making sacrifices, the true path of success is through the pain. So, don’t be afraid to have some hardship. Fight your battle with pride & take the result as it comes. Stop consuming what the internet is feeding you & think yourself.

yeah, true.
I will be happy if more & more people try this theory.

When I ignored the internet, I was much happier.
I started a travel blog about a year ago, and as part of that started reading other travel blogs and have spent time learning how to participate more effectively in social media.
Some days I feel there…
