“Social media is something of a double-edged sword.
.
At its best, social media offers unprecedented opportunities for marginalized people
to speak and bring much needed attention to the issues they face.
.
At its worst, social media also offers ‘everyone’ an unprecedented opportunity
to share in collective outrage without reflection.”
Roxane Gay
Does social media help you feel better about yourself?
Does liking popular content make you feel better?
Does posting content that is ‘Liked” many times, make you feel good?
Does social media… genuinely enable you to lead a significantly better, Purpose-Driven life?
What if, every time someone liked something on social media… they had to actually Do Something to improve the lives of another person?
Just imagine… instead of 3,000 “Likes”… we had 3,000 “Dids”!
Just imagine… instead of 100 “Celebrates”… we observed 100 “I’ll Do That Good Thing Too”!
Just imagine… instead of 1,000 executives commenting, to primarily create the appearance they, and possibly their organization, look good… they actually invested 1 hour of their personal time for each comment! (Not organizational time… since that’s already their job!)
One critical thing I learned in climbing the corporate ladder and now interacting with executives in organizations… sorry, but it’s not really that difficult and it’s quite self-beneficial. Further, we’re all just a cog in a tiny, tiny wheel (yes… regardless of your title and organization size). Your organization is a tiny cog on the wheel of the country. Which, in turn is merely a cog in the wheel called, “World”.
Sorry… your title has very little to do with leading a Purpose-Driven life.
Sorry… your title has very little to do with how generations to come, will view (or even remember) you!
Sorry… your title and opinions have very little to do with how the world continues to move day after day, with or without you!
Decisions and actions, beyond the paths that are most personally attractive to do… (important)
that actually make the world a better place for others… these do matter!
So… how are you Doing?
It’s almost exclusively Top-7% Leaders who actually change the world.
