"Decrease the volume of NOISE 

and Increase the volume of LIFE"

There is so much going on around us that most of us are just lost. This new age of social media has made us slaves of excessive randomness. We see too much. We hear too much. But most of it does not make any sense. We just keep going with the flow. You hold your mobile and just keep scrolling for hours and hours. You started at something and now you are at something else. And if tomorrow I ask you what you did yesterday, then you won't have anything. You would just say "I don't know. I was just surfing the internet." And end up getting sad that you haven't done anything productive, and this life-cycle repeats. It just forms a pattern. I am not saying that always study or work. But seriously? You got to have some focus in life. You got to know what you want to do, what you want to experience, what your goals are, and how you are going to get there. You stay online all the time, and then you consume so much random stuff that messes up with your brain and peace and even disturbs you within.

We get a lot of news, live updates and all the information that is happening around the world through Internet. But when we look on the otherside, The Internet is full of toxic people. There are trolls who love to make you feel terrible and worthless. The influencers are so plastic that all they want is to make you a copy of their "perfect" human model. The pretty pictures with a perfect face, perfect body, and perfect clothes make you feel insecure for no reason. The "my daddy got money" cool people show off their fancy labels, and you suddenly feel worthless and poor. This is what you consume the whole day. You dive into a pool of golden shit that makes you feel worthless about your existence. You are not doing what you should be doing for your goals, your dreams. How is this not a slow poison for your peace? You are creating your own hell. Even I was also the one who was surfing in the Internet with random stuffs. I went online for getting news updates and I end up wasting an hour in the random memes, surfing pictures and all that. And I didn't even realize how hours passed away doing some random things. 

My advice?

Cut down on your time on randomness. Don't debate in comments online. Delete, unfollow, or block people who make you feel worthless. Enjoy, have fun, spend time on reading, watching, cooking, investing in your hobbies, spend time with your loved ones,exploring new stuffs and do everything that you want to do. But make it focused. Consume the content that you want to become or be reflected by. Even random memes are great. I don't say that don't surf the internet, don't chat with your friends, don't spend time in Instagram,Facebook and all that stuffs, you can spend and you should. Look everyone wants to get entertained, After all, everyone loves socializing right ? And want to look around what all is happening around. But, choose them. And put a clock on everything you do. You have limited time on earth. Don't run around like a headless chicken. 

Think, realize, focus, and live !
