Identity Crisis

You ever looked at Social Media and got discouraged. Social media is so big now. Social media used to be fake news. It used to be a way of escape, but now it’s the way of life. Successes are constantly comparing everything. More people are depressed now. Live your truth because everyone has a story to tell.

There are so many bad influences on social media. Who are you portraying to be? Who are you? Maybe you only know who you want to be. As the New Year is approaching, get out your pen and paper. Write 10 things about what you love and what you want to change. Don’t wait till December 20th to do it. The time is now.

Have you written it down yet? If you haven’t, take some time to think about what you want and then write. After you have written, put it up on your wall so you can see it every single day. Anything you put at the forefront of your brain will powerfully hit you. Now take action.

There is no need to have an identity crisis. I know everyone's doing the same thing on social media. I also know you are feeling bad about not having what you "think" you should have. But, I have good news, you have a path that only you can live. Find your niche, have a plan, and execute. Don't look at others and compare lives. Focus on your own goals. Please don't get sidetracked by the negatives. You can't get lost in the shuffle. It will get hard, but stay strong because you have a story to tell.
