Don’t Compare your Life with Others. Especially to those on Social Media — Jag Chima
I can tell you one thing for sure, things are not what they always seem on the surface.
Let me explain, some of the ‘influencers’ on digital media live a completely different life to what they show you online.
There isn’t always bells and whistles in reality. Most of what you see is known as ‘props’. Most don’t practice what they preach.
I’m not just talking about fitness influencers. There are many self-proclaimed ‘guru’s’ with getting rich quick schemes. Mentors who charge lots of money to tell you how you can make lots of money. In reality, their only income is from the seminars they hold where they sell the dream.
On the other hand, there are many great ‘influencers’ who haven’t shared their struggle. They now live the life they post. You may not know their full story. They earned it.
There are a few points to take away from this post.
🔹Each of us are unique in our own way. We all have our own paths. ‘There is no comparison between the sun and the moon. They shine when it’s their time.’
🔹There is nothing wrong with having mentors or attending seminars to learn. We only grow by learning. Personally, I would want to understand and research the track record or experience of the person/company whom I will put my trust into.
🔹If you are an influencer, be real. Be honest, don’t misguide and sell a fake dream. If you’re not there yet, be patient. When you get there you will have a real story and experience to sell. The ones who continuously live a lie, eventually begin to believe it and expect others to too. It doesn’t last long and in the process, you hold others back and lose the people who trusted you. Practice what you post.
🔹Don’t complain about the results you don’t get with the work you didn’t do. All good things come to people who work their ass*s off. Believe it. Anything worth having is earned. That’s the only way you value it.
🔹For those who are genuine, thank you. You know who you are. There is a reason why an original is worth more than a replica. Quality attracts quality.
