The upside of Social Media!

Well, there is upside to most of the things, including social media. Believe it or not!

In today’s age and time, we wake up with our phones and we sleep with our phones. We look at our partners and our kids less than we look at Leo Decaprio, Beyonce and Taylor Swift! We are more in tune with their lives, their days, likes and dislikes than our teen-agers. The constant flow of information doesn’t allow us to think for ourselves. We believe in what is fed to us without fact checking and it is fed to us to change our opinions, likes and dislikes. Apart from tuning our brain and shrinking it , it is also playing havoc on our eyes and our families and friends.

But there is an upside of having that phone and it’s plenty when you use it the right way. You can have immense knowledge of right things at the tip of your finger, you can create videos on the go and you can access “right” influencers every morning. Think about getting to know Tom Brady, Bill Gates, U2, Taylor Swift and Warren Buffet better!

Having phone with you and accessing it in a limited way can enrich your life. Instead of following people who sap you of positive energy, follow those who can help build creativity, wealth and knowledge. That can help you innovate, work harder. Following Leo Decaprio on instagrams will help you understand how he is focused and passionate about saving the planet. Following Brady can help instill the displine and rigor he follow.

Pick and choose the right people. Limit your time everyday to couple of hrs, make it into an asset in your life that you carry and not you are someone that the phone carries at its whims and fancies. Control the mind and the phone can be your friend!
