In this brave new world of social media everyone is focused on everything and everyone, other than what they really should be focusing on.

Which is:

What you’re doing. Your unique mission.

Never forget you’re the protagonist in your life

As much as many of us spend hours a day watching tv, the news and browsing social media, life really starts to change for the better when you focus on what you’re doing in your life, because ultimately you only have control over your life not anyone else’s.

This might seem like common sense

On the surface it seems commonsensical but in reality we live in a very distracted world, and we can become so focused on what so and so are doing that we stop focusing on what we’re doing, where we are going in our lives and what mission we’re striving for.

I’m not telling you to be selfish

I wholly believe that we were all put on this earth for a reason, god created us that way, for himself.

We were all meant to live our lives a certain way and make the most of our unique talents and predispositions.

This brave new world we live in could have been orchestrated by the devil it’s that damaging.

Most of us are like zombies distracted by what ever is interesting and shiny.

These modern day distractions, (and you know what I’m talking about) if you’re not careful will eat up all of your time so that you never do anything worthwhile with your life, never live up to the life god wanted of you.

So carpe diem, because time is one of the only commodities you can never get back.

And being the protagonist of your life means grabbing life by the cajones and making the most of it because that’s what god wants you to do.

“Don’t waste the rest of your time here worrying about other people—unless it affects the common good. It will keep you from doing anything useful. You’ll be too preoccupied with what so-and-so is doing, and why, and what they’re saying, and what they’re thinking, and what they’re up to, and all the other things that throw you off and keep you from focusing on your own mind.” – Marcus Aurelius
