We are so tired of seeing how others are doing something, while we mope about our miserable lives.
The truth is, our own laziness bring about the so-called misery. We have no one else to blame - it's not what they do (well, up to a point anyway) that bring about the feeling of being miserable; envy, self depreciation, spite, all that negative feeling.
Social media amplify this sense of misery. Perhaps we are comfortable with sitting in our, well, comfort zone, watching how others go about in their life, and wishing oh if only I could do so and so... you feel connected - you know what's going on - and yet it comes with a terrible sense of inadequacy. And so, you try to bolster up your tiny acts. You want the rest to know that you've been up to something.
Well, be damned, that.
If we're ever going to feel satisfied with how we're doing, stop with the whole petty things being shared out there - with the intent of gaining some sort of attention.
Start doing something, however little, that actually gives you a sense of achievement and happiness. It doesn't have to be big and significant, even small things like learning new skills, picking up a new hobby, seeing new places, talking to other people, trying out new food, taking a walk early in the morning...
Start doing something, no matter how small. Life is insignificant, you say? Only because you haven't done anything significant, even if it seems insignificant in your eyes and others. It's the little things, man.
The little things.
