Stop Comparing Your Life to Social Media!
I am a full time entertainer who travels all across the country, and I am a full time college student as well. That sentence makes me sound really cool right? That is probably because you were comparing what you were currently doing in life (reading my blog) to the awesomeness of the only two things I had listed! But you know what goes hand-in-hand with traveling and performing which does not sound so glamorous? Sitting in a car for a few hours, or meticulously setting up props, or setting up sound and lights for a 45 minute set... you get the idea. There are a lot of boring parts to seemingly great things, and it can kind of be summarized in a quote by Steven Furtick.
"Don't compare your behind the scenes to everybody else's highlight reel..."(Furtick, Steven)
After having a drink or two with friends after they get off work, I hear a lot of people tell me the same things
- "I see all my friend's doing _______ this summer and I'm just doing ______!"
- I see yall all on Facebook doing this cool adventures and I just have summer classes!
- etc....
Facebook allows us to look at things people are choosing to share but not their behind the scenes. So, in short I guess what I'm really trying to say is, your life is probably really awesome and I guarantee you there are a lot of people who are super jealous of you and all the great things you have going on - seriously!
Climb a mountain, don't post it to Facebook.
Cheers!
