No good blaming the Kardashians

Posted on by philipdodson

Society talks about role models, often referring to politicians, or sports players or actors and so on. Most often we look to celebrities, as a society, many seem to be in awe of them.

The fact is, every single one of us is a role model to someone, maybe many. Society isn’t this nebulous thing, each and every one of us forms it.

If we want to see change, we can choose to be inspiring, we can choose to be accountable for how we behave and we can choose to lead. We can choose to step up and be a role model for the people who matter.

No good blaming the Kardashians or some politician.

The fire of gratification

Posted on by philipdodson

The fire of gratification once lit is always hungry for more things to burn.

It’s a fire of addictions, not just drugs, alcohol, food, downloads, social media, but many more. There are many addictions in our world, all giving that instant hit of gratification. It is a short-term burn, a short-lived buzz, shallow and unfulfilling.

We will look back on our current times and reflect that the progress we thought ‘instant everything’ was, was not in fact progress, it was a regression. Having everything just a click away has removed the joy that slowly building something of meaning brings to us.

Deep versus shallow.

We need a to put out the fire of gratification and search for a slower burn, one that brings joy longer term.
