Clickbait
How many of us have clicked this article not knowing what it’s going to be about but clicking it anyway? You might be on your way to work, eating lunch or even just laying on your bed. Regardless we all fall into click bait once in a while and I can’t say that it always holds up to its name. Just like a fish that wanted to eat that shiny looking bait on the mysterious line. Who really got what they wanted?
Life can sometimes feel the same… We’ve all been in positions where we follow a shiny object in front of us and forget about things around us. Many of us also never really appriecate the shiny objects after we get them. Instead, whenever we get that new shiny object it doesn’t take long before we forget how badly we might’ve wanted it to begin with.
Reflection
Humans love to take things for granted these days. Is it ignorance? Compared to 100 years ago we probably look like aliens to people back then. We have with us the world’s collective knowledge all in one place and everyone seems to have a copy that they bring wherever they go. Maybe we take things for granted because that shiny object we wanted – did we ever really want in the first place? Maybe we are only going for it because other people are going for it, not because we really want that shiny object. How many of us really have our own ambitious goals? An easy way to know if you really care about what you’re doing is by explaining why you are doing it to another person.
I hear so many students at university just say they want to finish this tutorial, class or degree as if it’s something annoying that they don’t like doing.
Not really sure why I wrote this, but question yourself, question life, how many why’s and explations do you need to believe what you think and say?
If you don’t break the cycle today, it will only repeat for you tomorrow.
