Learn to be more human again.

#hwtujuibado

👋 | Hello everyone.

 My hopes.... life's treating you just the same way you treat it.
My eyes are on social media today...and with this 'short' article, 

I hope to open your eyes too on some impeccable reality about it. 



| We think we need all those text messages, social updates, memes, and perfect Instagram pics !

If it entertains you now but will hurt or bore you someday, it’s a distraction.  Don’t settle.  Don’t exchange what you want most for what you kind of want at the moment.  Study your habits.  Figure out where your time goes, and remove distractions.  It’s time to focus on what matters.
A good place to start?
Learn to be more human again.  Don’t avoid eye contact.  Don’t hide behind gadgets.  Smile often.  Ask about people’s stories.  Listen.  You can’t connect with anyone, including yourself, unless you are undistracted and present.  And you can’t be either of the two when you’re Facebooking, Instagramming or Snapchatting your life away.  You just can’t!
If you are constantly attached to your smartphone and only listening with your ears as your eyes check for the next social update, you are ripping yourself off of actually experiencing real relationships and real life.  The same is true for texting too.  Yes, someday you will be slapped with the reality of a missed MEMORY being far more unsettling than a missed TEXT!
Let this be your wake-up call!  Too often we choose to distract ourselves with gadgets and news and videos and music and memes, 24/7, just to stimulate ourselves.  It’s like second nature to us—we’re so used to feeling like the present moment isn’t worthy of our full presence.  And this mindset of dissatisfaction and distraction—of reality never being enough for us – trickles into every facet of our lives…
  • We are continuously thinking about what’s to come, as if it’s not enough to appreciate what we have right now.
  • We sit down to relax for a moment and then immediately feel the urge to read something on our phones, as if relaxing for a moment isn’t enough.
  • We procrastinate when it’s time to work, choosing more distractions, as if the process of doing good work isn’t enough for us.
  • We get annoyed with people when they fail to live up to our expectations, as if the reality of who they are isn’t enough for us.
  • We resist changes in our lives, in our relationships, and in our careers, because the reality feels like it’s not enough.
  • We reject situations, people, and even ourselves, because we feel like none of it is enough for us right now.
But what if we did the opposite?
What if we accepted this moment, and everything and everyone in it (including ourselves), as exactly enough?
What if we admitted that life is slipping away right now, and saw the fleeting time we have as enough, without needing to share it on social media or capture it or filter it in any way?
What if we accepted the “bad” with the good, the letdowns with the lessons, the annoying with the beautiful, the anxiety with the opportunity, as part of a package deal that this moment alone is offering us?
What if we paused right now, and saw everything with perfect clarity and no distractions?
Keep thinking about it…
Would we have more beautiful stories to cherish and share?
I think we would.
And thus, I think now is the best time to pay attention.
Now is the best time to look around and be grateful—for our health, our homes, our families, our friends, and our momentary opportunities.
Nothing else will matter as much when we look back someday.

Good Luck 💪

5 Timeless Ways to Find the True Value of an Hour

#hwtujuibado     "One hour at a time, one value-driven decision at a time.  That’s all we’re really talking about here.  Just maximizing the significance of our short lives, and making a small difference along the way." >>We Determine the True Value of Every Hour Our lives are measured by the value we provide to others.  This value arises from the things we spend our time doing.  And since time is quantified in hours, the value of our lives is equivalent to the sum of every hour we spend. Opportunities to provide value are everywhere.  Some of them are anticipated, while others blindside us at midnight on an idle Tuesday.  Whether or not we choose to acknowledge and engage in these opportunities is up to us. | How have you spent the last hour of your life? Let this question sink in.  Let it inspire you… Let yourself come to see just how precious a gift it is to find value in the loving gestures you disp...

Compromise.

#hwtujuibado If you cannot get what you love out of this life, then learn to love and cherish the things that have been handed to you, because they are there and they are yours, don't chase the impossible, if you can't be who you want to be in life then learn to be the things you're not, and if you can't get what you need from life then learn to need the things that stop you from dreaming, but by all means necessary keep moving on, and should the universe turn its back on you then do the same, don't let the universe get the best of you, just COMPROMISE. Our goal this year, after many years now, is to turn setbacks into comebacks, journey with Me as we re write our fates.
