Not everyone will understand your journey. That’s fine. It’s not their journey to make sense of. It’s yours.

ImagineIf more people stopped seeking a constant stream of likes & shares and instead started working for the far more significant & much more uncommon, “Thanks I really needed that today.”
Making a positive difference in 1 person’s life is far more fulfilling than 1k likes.

ImagineIf teachers were regarded with the same high degree of respect (& compensated accordingly) as other higher-paying professions that often have less of a long-term impact as teachers have the potential to.

ImagineIf students were allowed more flexibility to pursue knowledge & skills that truly interested them instead of being forced through a system seeking to make workforce clones.

ImagineIf teachers were encouraged & able to make classes & education engaging & fun and inspired students to seek a life of learning & SelfImprovement beyond school.

ImagineIf if those who reached the highest levels of office & leadership had better than the bare minimum of reading & writing skills and understood how to use a computer or how to reason with logic.

ImagineIf we put as much money & effort into actually educating people as companies do in convincing consumers they need to have, do, watch & ultimately *buy* all the right things in order to be cool, sexy, appealing, healthy & happy.

ImagineIf there was less emphasis on mindless & endlessly repetitive TV, processed foods, and the “necessity” of alcohol in people’s lives and more emphasis on mentalhealth, healthyliving & personalgrowth.

ImagineIf instead of constantly fighting each other, we actually put money & effort into helping people who need it regardless of their social, economic or political status.

ImagineIf after money no longer made any significant difference in billionaire’s lives, they put their energy towards bettering humanity instead of simply increasing their wealth. See, for example, @elonmusk

ImagineIf more people earned the attention they get for being a goodexample & setting high standards (See, for example, @therock) than they did for creating controversy, being hateful, or making spectacles of themselves for 15 minutes of fame.

Of course, we *could* keep bickering amongst ourselves forever & what fun that is! But consider for a moment that if our education system was properly funded to provide useful lifeskills & knowledge we would at least have far smarter things to bicker about with smarter people.

If you’re starting to struggle with your NewYearsResolutions it’s probably because you’re trying to initiate too much change at once. This leads to feeling overwhelmed & quitting. Focus on making progress on 1 goal or 1 part of it & keepgoing. Add complexity/more goals later.

Don’t let discouragement keep you from reaching goals within your grasp. Understand that facing setbacks & being discouraged doesn’t have to lead to quitting. Change your tactics & strategy as needed, but only quit if you know it’s best for you. Otherwise, keep pushing yourself.
