Distractions and your life

You often get caught up with the news and social media.
I was so addicted to social media once that I couldn't stop checking it every 5 minutes few years back. I was so interested in what others are doing and wanted to share all my life with everyone else.

But wait a minute - how does this benefit to you or your family ? I never heard of anyone who became millionaire because he was so active in Facebook and Whatsapp. But the owner of these companies are making money out of our time.

Same with news as well. Knowing how many rockets Space X sent to Mars mission or current state of North Korea doesn't help you get food on the table.

I am not anti-socialist. But our world has a lot of distractions which demands your attention. And most of it is useless to you. The person who is creating these doesn't even know you or your family's current state , but , he/she is using your time to get food on his/her table. "Someone is stupid here then".

What does it differ between the person you want to become and what you are right now ? Have the courage to break out and become that person that you look forward to become. Create your own identity in this world. Don't just live your life and become the unknown . Develop a personality that will make your children proud of you.

What do you really own ?

When I was first introduced to the Cash Flow quadrant by my mentor, I understood one thing - the easiest thing you can be in life is an Employee. You don't have to make a lot of decisions. You will feel like the employer is depending on you so much that they cannot survive without you. You miss the job so much when you are on vacation. But think again - What do you really own ? Do you own the desk or chair you sit or keyboard you use or the $1 marker ? Answer is NOTHING . You can steal them. But still you don't own them. This is applicable to anybody in the organization. Be it Manager , VP , ED, or anybody. Just that they have different price tags - some have price of Honda, some are BMW. But still all of them are owned by someone else. It takes effort to be in any other quadrant. That's why not many people are there in those areas. You get comfortable in where you are in life. Ask yourself this when you are sitting in your cubic...
