We are all seeking community, belonging, family or tribe. We are created to be and live together. Yet in today's society everyone is so busy or say they are, that very often we don't connect the way we should.
Social media is the new forum to get noticed! So much hype and effort is focused here that real life and real people get overlooked.
Now it's great to spread some kindness and positivity and promote good things. But there is a need to be involved, included and take part too.
There are ways to make life richer without 'likes' from random strangers. Welcome the visitors, the new girl, the not so cool dude, include people. Don't wrap yourself in social media, get to know and make new friends - family - face to face!
Being connected does not mean being disconnected from real life. Don't miss who and what is around you. If you add up all those hours scrolling think what you could have accomplished in the same time!
Obsession is not the same as dedication. You may enjoy what you do but is it narrowing your searches. You may be putting in the hours but are you missing the minutes that make them valuable.
As we approach the weekend try harder to reassure others that they matter. Invite, include and if need be interrupt your train of thought to be there for those who are real life stories and have something to share with you too...
