Stop looking social...And do it yourself

Time to shine other people's lives through social media...Is it so happy that you think that's his real life?

Why do you need "other people's time" to measure your life?

Dude, 25, has a house.

The other 30 are executives.

The other is married, has kids, has everything.

What about you... starting to feel "slow."

The truth is...

You're not slow... but you "look a lot at other people."

The world doesn't have a single finish line.

But you took "someone else's timeline."

Become your own life clock (Hi)

'Fucking funny. '

Some people get rich fast but stressed (mentally ill)

Some people get married quickly but want to run away (go away)

Some people look successful, but I'm not happy (at all).

But what you see is "show footage," not "truth."

Life is not an Olympic racetrack.

It is a single field...(Take your best self)

❎ no directors.

❎ no standard time.

❎ no one to impose.

It's just, "Are you okay with your life?"

Stop running by other people's time.

Then come back and ask yourself..

"Is this my life... or am I pursuing other people's lives?"

Honestly, if you're still comparing your life to someone else, it means "don't have your own compass."

People who know where they're going have their own goals.

It doesn't have time to look at other people's lives.

Here's how to get out of that trap. Not so beautiful in the world:

1️⃣ Unaware of "other people's lives."

Social is a highlight, not real life.

10 minutes of watching = 100 rounds of life.

Actual Doing: Unfollowing People Who Make You Feel "Not You"

Time limit (set timer to go)

2️⃣ Set a new "standard of life."

Stop asking, "Where have the others gone?"

Start asking, "Where exactly do you want to go?"

Write it out now:

1 year, 3 years, 5 years. What do you want? (Money / Health / Independent)

What kind of life is "you satisfied," not "social acceptance"?

3️⃣ Change the game from "compete with others."

Is "race yourself yesterday."

How were you yesterday?

1% better today and win.

Simple rules:

Exercise > Yesterday, sleep, look on your phone

Work > Focus Than Yesterday, Finish

Use Money > Smarter Than Yesterday, Use Essential

4️⃣ Understand the truth that no one tells.

The person you envy... he "chooses something" that you actually see.

✅ money = waste of time.

✅ got a reputation = lost privacy.

✅ speed = risk breaking fast

The question is:

Do you exchange like him?

If not... don't want a life like him.

5️⃣ Make "real life" tight.

People whose lives are really tight will be busy.

Focus 4 like this:

💪🏻 body (exercise)

💴 money (increase revenue)

📚 skills (learn, not see through)

🫂 people around (dating people who develop, not shows)

6️⃣ Set yourself the iron rules.

If accidentally compare = stop immediately.

And ask yourself:

"What do you control now?"

And then act on it

A brief summary of the beautiful world:

You can stop comparing other people's lives.

Only if you're "busy building your own life" enough.

If still empty = still compared

If still compared = still lost

Remember 🖤

... Read moreการเลิกติดตามชีวิตคนอื่นบนโซเชียลมีเดียนั้นไม่ได้ง่ายอย่างที่คิด เพราะเป็นสิ่งที่ฝังลึกในธรรมชาติของมนุษย์ที่อยากเปรียบเทียบและหาความหมายของตัวเองจากสิ่งที่เห็นรอบตัว แต่จากประสบการณ์ส่วนตัว การเริ่มต้นจาก "รับรู้ก่อนว่าโซเชียลแค่ส่วนหนึ่งของชีวิตจริง" จะช่วยลดความรู้สึกอิจฉาหรือคิดว่าชีวิตตัวเองด้อยกว่าคนอื่นได้มาก ผมลองตั้งกฎง่ายๆ ให้ตัวเองว่า เมื่อไหร่ที่รู้สึกอยากเปรียบเทียบชีวิตกับคนอื่นบนโซเชียล ให้หยุดทันที แล้วหันมาสอบถามตัวเองว่า สิ่งที่กำลังทำอยู่ตอนนี้ช่วยให้ผมเข้าใกล้เป้าหมายตัวเองไหม บ่อยครั้งที่ผมรู้ว่าการลงมือทำสิ่งเล็กๆ เช่น การออกกำลังกายเพิ่มขึ้น หรือโฟกัสทำงานให้ดีกว่าเมื่อวาน คือการแข่งกับตัวเองที่มีความหมายมากกว่าการเอาใจไปจมกับชีวิตของคนอื่น อีกอย่างที่ได้เรียนรู้คือ "คุณภาพของชีวิตจริง" จะมาจากการลงแรงพัฒนาทั้งร่างกาย สติปัญญา การเงิน และความสัมพันธ์กับคนรอบตัว ที่ไม่ได้ขึ้นกับความฟุ่มเฟือยหรือภาพลักษณ์ในโซเชียล การใช้เวลาจริงจังกับการเรียนรู้ทักษะใหม่ๆ รวมถึงออกกำลังกายสม่ำเสมอ ช่วยให้ชีวิตมีความมั่นคงและไม่ต้องการยึดติดกับภาพความสำเร็จที่โชว์บนโลกออนไลน์ สุดท้าย ผมขอแนะนำว่า ทุกคนควรหากิจกรรมหรือเป้าหมายที่ทำให้ชีวิตตัวเอง "แน่น" จนไม่มีเวลาหรือแรงใจไปเปรียบเทียบกับชีวิตใคร เพราะเมื่อนั้นแหละ คุณจะเริ่มรู้สึกสงบสุขและภูมิใจกับชีวิตของตัวเองจริงๆ และสามารถก้าวผ่านความกดดันจากสังคมได้อย่างแท้จริง
