Breaking Free From The Curse (Part 2)

Last time we figured out the loop of the internet and our blessings and curses. Here.

Now, If you are like me, you might want to break free from the curses.

So There you go,

Either Be a Creator

I know this is a hard step, but it’s an opportunity to release your creativity and the artist within. You can:

Write/sing/joke online and express yourself

Now, don’t tell me you were the shy guy. But not anymore.

Social Media has successfully provided a platform for doing what you love and getting recognized for it. The claps and the likes will be your dopamine hits.

Now you can share your unique ideas to a global audience and get recognized for your art.

Stay Consistent

Consistency is the hard part when creating anything. I completely agree with that. But only consistently will set you apart.

It’s more about showing up every day and improving your art. Be it a song you sing or a script you write, consistency improves quality.

Showing up consistently will pay off with a better quality of your work and who knows if you find your calling in the middle of it. And,

Maybe you will build an audience. Who knows?

If you successfully establish yourself as a communicator of better ideas, chances are people will start following you and with a tad bit of hard work, you might build an audience or rather a community.

This community will then help you build on your skills more than ever.

This is the path many creators have followed and found a target audience for them. It’s working for them. It may work for you too.

Express yourself and be a consistent creator, to break the loop:

Or Choose to be A Mindful Consumer

Be a consumer who buys an idea only after carefully analyzing the value of what’s being sold. You can be a mindful consumer with this:

Consume Quality Content

Now I don’t want to give a speech on what quality content is. What is quality for me might be a boring lecture for you. You decide.

But if the content you just consumed, made you pause and think for a moment and question a few things, about you, and your knowledge then maybe it is the quality content.

If it arouses curiosity, and a desire to learn, then it is the right thing for you.

Choose a mindful platform that educates you

Instagram is my favorite. I love scrolling through some random videos and laughing in the middle when some nice jokes come in.

But if I decide to just be there and not choose a mindful platform for myself, I soon will be a part of the cursed community. Oh, actually I was.

But now, I’m consciously trying to be active on Medium for it’s quality content and easy-to-read stories.

You can decide the same, and finally

Apply your lessons and grow

After consuming content, try to apply the lesson you just learned. That’s the only way you can retain your learnings, by practicing.

Does this blog give you a new perspective, then, practice this perspective in your life. Take note of things that felt important to you and add these small little lessons to your everyday life.

Self Improvement is consistency over intensity, let’s improve every day than to break down one fine evening when things stop working as per our plan.

So what’s your plan?

Oh! You want to keep it a secret. Okay.
