Social Media

 Life online is a meat grinder for the soul. 

Scroll long enough and you’ll start to believe everyone else is better looking, better dressed, making more money, doing more yoga, scaling mountains, founding companies, gaining followers, losing weight, gaining muscle, and generally smashing life like it’s a video game they’ve already mastered.

Meanwhile, you’re just sitting there with a half-eaten bagel and cold cup of coffee, wondering where you went wrong.

Social media is a comparison trap wrapped in neon lights. It doesn’t matter how good your life is, two swipes in and you’ll be convinced you’re failing at everything. 

Spend too much time there and it will hollow out your sense of self until you’re little more than a reflection in somebody else’s sunglasses.

Instead, measure your progress against yesterday's version of yourself, and strive to improve a little every day.
