I don’t share this often enough.
We live in this world that has innumerable impulses.
And I’m not talking about the color of flowers – things we experience as long as human history.
I’m talking about the impulses we have every day from brands, products, and services around us. All desperate to sell us something for the sake of their own capitalism.
And what I would prompt today is: some impulses you control, most you don’t. For the impulses you control: take charge!
Turn off notifications on your cell phone. Sleep with your smartphone in the kitchen. Don’t give your kids the iPad unless it’s an emergency. Minimize your tech-hours every day.
There’s this gigantic web of impulses that you’ll be stuck in for as long as you live. So for the impulses you may control: take charge.
