Food is not bad for you, but if you eat too much of it, it’s bad for you. The same goes for social media. Human relationships are built on engagement and you aren’t present when you’re on your phones. You don’t decide that you’re present. You’re not present until you make someone else feel like they matter in your life. That’s where true fulfillment comes. Some people can only see the wall and some people can only see what’s on the other side of the wall. Simon Sinek Answers… Do you need to know where you’re going? When we are struggling in life, can we ask for help? Are we capable of actually being in the moment?
