 Why does anybody feel the need to compare themselves to others, especially when they don't know anything about them? jbrew22.com here with a general interest of log and today's vlog is about Comparing yourself to others. I Guess I'm bringing this up because comparing yourself to others is a big deal Especially today when you see nothing, but other people ordinary people supposedly on social media There's a hundred different social media platforms tic-tac Facebook and Instagram and all this other stuff and a lot of people are basing their entire lives on you know Comparisons I'm checking my mic Comparisons towards these people they feel like they have less or they're not as good-looking or not as hard-working And I'm sure a lot of these social media people can inspire people But I doubt very highly that Almost all of them can inspire people forever. They're not Philosophies they're not there. They're like little like one-shot nuggets of inspiration that in my belief are Most often forgotten and they just dissolve into the wind Back in the day You know you had your circle of friends and perhaps one friend may Sort of affect another say all that my buddy this happened to me when I was like I don't know 17 years old This was like freaking 30 years ago But my friend had more money than me and he had he bought a Jeep that was older than mine But and he put a lift kid on it and I didn't really have the money and I figured out a way to to put He had like a 8-inch lift and I got like a 4-inch lift and I couldn't afford it I always want to be like other people and then that's I think fairly normal in America or the world where like other people like you get I guess either inspired or envious or jealous or Just want what they have and that happened in a small degree a long time ago But now I believe it happens at such an exponentially higher level That it's become like a little bit of a sickness like it Have having it happen in little little pockets here and there is one thing But then once you have digital medium, like it's the social media. I think it happens a lot a lot faster and in terrible ways and Maybe there's a silver lining to it. I don't know but what happens is like like big industries can find Influencers that's what this whole social media advertising thing is they find influencers and they can get them to influence them to do You know certain things and I think that's sort of It's kind of a hidden layer if you know what I mean like you have these people you think you trust and know They look like ordinary people, but they're actually getting paid a lot of money They're getting free stuff and they're influencing people in different ways. That's not coming straight from the company It's coming from these influencers who probably nine out of ten people don't know they're being Influenced unless you know some people say oh, this is a sponsored post I don't know. I think almost all of them are sponsored in a very undermining way, but the whole point of this video is that Finding contentment in your life being happy with what you have and not even worrying about what other people have that we have nice stuff here our house is paid for and But we're not we're not swimming in money. We don't care We just are happy with what we have and we're very grateful for what we have as well So those are all things that I think are being forgotten in today's day and age. So that's it Key points social media and the internet kind of changes the way you think of yourself You think other people are better, but they're not really better They're just marketing themselves to be better and putting a lot of effort into making them seem so great and Not showing you everything and of course there's other people that take the Depressing section of it and try to take advantage of that too. Oh, I'm so honest. I'm depressed Everybody's trying to take advantage of somebody else always unplug that crap. I Only put my videos out to inspire people. I don't want people to there's nobody buying my crap I don't know. That's it. I hope I had a nugget or two or three of insightful information there That would help anybody so if you like the video, please hit subscribe and the bell and I'll see you next time
