There is something strange that all humans are programmed to do. And if we don't keep it in check, it will lead to a lot of problems in our lives. Do you find yourself emotionally influenced by people or events that you have no real connection to? (Politics, sports, social media influencers.)Do you have a hard time saying what you really think?Do people seem to find you boring? Or are you often arguing against others?It could be that you haven't developed your inner voice.We humans are programmed to seek answers from authority. We don't mind being told what to think, what to do, or how to act if we believe it will benefit us. Why figure all that out yourself if someone trustworthy will just point you in the right direction?We all want to know what our purpose on this earth is. Where did we come from, and where will we go when we die? And day-to-day we want to know that what we are doing is right.Modern media and culture hijacks this desire, and today thousands of people make a lot of money off of your attention and your emotional connection to them and their brands by telling you how to think and how to act.The consequence to you is losing yourself. Your self confidence is tied to your favourite sports team, your critical thinking is secondary to what your favorite social media guru tells you, and if you find someone who disagrees it often ends in confrontation.But what do you think? What really matters to you?If you struggle to be alone with your thoughts, if you need constant distraction by social media, TV and music, if you argue with others about things over which neither of you have any control...that is an invitation to self-development and building a better life.It's time you started consuming less content that makes you angry or desperate and stopped arguing with your family members. You simply have to develop your inner voice. There is a thoughtful person inside you, but they won't get their chance to be heard and recognized if all you're doing is consuming the words of others.If you're ready to become confident and certain of who you are, stop the childish emotional attachment to things on TV, and form meaningful relationships with others, this episode will inspire you to start thinking for yourself.
