Why is that people seem to lose their minds over something that doesn’t truly impact them? A sports injury, celebrity gossip (don’t get me started on gossip), a minor change in things – all things that seem to set people off these days. These things are typically life or death, just minor things in life that really don’t change anything. People tend to overreact to anything now, and not see how it will really impact them.
Asides
It is worth the wait
We live in a world where it seems like people want things yesterday. People no longer understand that waiting can be a good thing. I know that waiting can be hard, but it can be worth it.
Comfort isn’t always that great
If you stay in your comfort zone, nothing will change and you won’t grow. It may seem like a good thing to stick with what has been working, but it really isn’t that good because nothing is going to change and you won’t learn anything.
Don’t Dwell On It
Yes, there are times where it is good to think about something for a long time, but often it is not a good idea to dwell on something for a long time. Often nothing good comes of it.
Disconnect
It pained me to see so many people “tethered” to power sources at a festival I was at over this weekend. Have we as a society become so addicted to our phones? I know that at a festival you are trying to get in touch with people, but I don’t think that people should be using them so much that you have to keep charging them. People should disconnect in those things. You just can’t let life pass you by.
Over Teching
I guess I don’t fully understand the hype over smart watches. I just feel that they are just going to make us more dependent on technology and make us less social. There is a lot we can get out of technology, but we can’t let it take away some of the skills we need to develop. Technology is a tool, not a crutch. We are also getting too connected at times.
You are not an island
No matter your beliefs, you can’t do it alone. If you are struggling with something, talk to someone about it. It will help sort everything out.
Don’t Be the Weather Story
I know that the videos of severe weather can be quite impressive, but please don’t take them unless you know what you are doing. If you don’t just get yourself to safety.
Don’t Just Take The Easy Road
The easy way isn’t always the best way. If the easy way is just doing the same over and over again, there is no opportunity for change. There is nothing that can happen without some risk. You have to take risks and have faith that the best (which isn’t necessarily what you think is the best) outcome will happen.
Let Private Be Private
Why does society care about people’s private lives? Why can’t we just let that be?
