As you navigate yourself through life, it’s easy to become manipulated by external forces (social media, television, politics etc.). These forces bring a plethora of negative influences that look to control your mind for their gain, not yours. Too often, we look to compare ourselves to what others are doing.  This is a trap!  Each of us is on a journey as specific as our own fingerprint.  Stop worrying that you’re not as good or as far along as someone else.  You’re exactly where you’re supposed to be. Perhaps it’s time to stop looking outward for validation and start looking inward at yourself for the answers you seek.  Do you even know who you are and why you’re here?  You’re so inundated with data from the external world that you don’t even know how to listen to your inner voice.  This is partly why you are anxious.  Consider temporarily isolating yourself from the world of social media, internet, television, and friends to stop the constant chatter in your mind.  The answers you seek about yourself are revealed in quiet isolation. It may take days, weeks, or months but when you become self-aware, you’ll return to the world with a profound sense of who you are and where you’re going.  You will learn to remove negative influences and surround yourself with only positive energy to assist you on your journey.
