Today my feed was flooded with people putting their perfect selves forward– idyllic happiness.
And it made me feel like I had to do the same- to show my life is amazing, too.
Admit it, you felt the same way?
Sometimes, I get so caught up in maintaining my online presence that I forget about the real friends and real projects I have.
The most successful people I know are rarely on social media— they’re busy getting stuff done.
If you’re inspired, go ahead and post– but don’t feel guilty if you don’t.
It’s not a case of one or the other, but a balance between your online and real-world presence.
Focus on real relationships and achievement first– then let your light shine!
