FOMO vs JOMO: Get your MOJO

Source: Anonymous

We are living in a very fast paced world today where the greatest fear is the Fear Of Missing Out.

We are all suffering from it one way or another.

Let’s understand it’s inception!

FOMO is an outcome of comparison and the inherent competitive environment right from school days to college and then in your work life be it as an employee or an entrepreneur wherein we fight to prove something to the world but never realising that we all are living in our own imaginary world and we are measuring an imaginary success which is generally not in consonance with what we really want as an individual detached from this world.

The moment we accept these imaginary virtual successes are like bubbles waiting to burst, we get emancipated and can experience real freedom.

Ofcourse it's easier said than done!!

The Converse of FOMO is JOMO!

Joy Of Missing Out!

If we can really detach ourselves from the maddening rush that the world seems to be in, in this jet age where everyone is just running around without knowing why they are running, where are they headed, what they really want from life can make the life so stressful that one can’t enjoy what they already have!

JOMO is what we all are like in our childhood days but we lose it as we grow up in this cruel world that conspires to make you a part of it.

Alas if we can continue to be childlike and enjoy JOMO for our entire life then life can turn out to be such a MOJO that you will forget FOMO.
