How are you "influencing" people?
In this age of social media, we are constantly asked to follow the so called "influencers" and like their pages or follow their advice. However do we stop to ponder what exactly these people are influencing us to do? Are they actually giving us good solid advice or just marketing for big companies or their own businesses?
Recently, i watched a video and the person featured in it was asking us to take a closer look at these influencers! Are they trying to promote unrealistic standards of beauty with their heavily made up faces and retouched photos? Are they trying to deceive us into thinking material wealth can make you happy with their photos of luxury cars and beautiful mansions?
Lets not buy into the hype. Remember "not all that glitters is gold" Never try to live your life as a version of someone else. No matter how famous and put together people seem, you are not getting the real picture of their lives. Some celebrities/influencers will even encourage you to do things or buy things they don't use themselves or even know might be harmful. (for example soda)
When you are in a position where people look up to you and admire you, you need to do better! The so called influencers should be helping people to make wise choices and not disguising marketing as advice! Take a closer look at the people we think are influencers and decide for yourself! If you are in a position to influence people, remember to be honest and help others to be the best versions of themselves they can be. Don't let anyone influence you, try your best to be a better person, a kind and generous person, a forgiving and loving person, the person God intended you to be! God bless you all!
