Once again the morning news held social media warnings. I don’t know when we are going to get over it and realize social media is not going away, no matter how many warnings there are about using it. I meet a lot of people in my different social groups who say to me they are afraid of Facebook. Afraid or not, it isn’t going away and now a days it’s not “just for kids”. Social media and the ocean are much the same. They are both just there. They neither like you or hate you. They aren’t out to get you. It’s what you do with them that decides the experience you will have with each one.
Every choice we make, from what we put on Facebook to what we have for breakfast shapes our lives and makes us who we are. Up until now I only considered the parts – the decisions I make everyday. I ponder over making the right choices, decide, and move onto the next one. I never stop to consider how all the choices I make during a single day contribute and shape the entirety of who I am. Just like what we do with social media shapes and forms our virtual personality. Another words, use it wisely. Make good choices, and you don’t have to worry about all the warnings. Scroll down and read your own page. Pretend you don’t know yourself. What kind of picture do the tweets, status updates, and photos build of who you are?
“One choice, just one, can change your life forever. Simply put, your life today is what you have made it, but with new directions you can change your life this very moment.” ~ Mac Andersen
…..both on and offline.
And so, as another day goes by, the whole of who we are is the sum of all our parts, and….I have written.
