Learn To Be Alone

Learn to be alone with yourself. Learn to be alone with your thoughts.

I am a firm believer that the key to happiness and success is having a deep understanding of how crucial this aspect of life is.

Above all else in life is your happiness and the pursuit of your goals. You ALWAYS come first. Period.

Society is truly out of touch with this concept stemming from the advent of new technology constantly feeding our minds. It has become a habitual necessity and everywhere you go you will find people on their phones. I am guilty of it and so are you.

Technology herds our attention like a shepherd herds sheep. We are prisoners to a screen. I’m not here to preach stop using technology, I’m here to provide perspective on how you are robbing yourself of the level of self-inflection it requires to attain your goals.

Technology is a vehicle to be used to propel yourself forward. Key word, vehicle, but if you are not aware of this, it becomes the driver. Give up that control, not just to technology, but to anything and anyone, and you will wake up another sheep of society.

Are you happy just being another cog in the wheel?

That’s what I thought.

Learn to be alone.

Learn to think.

Time is either your biggest asset or your biggest liability. Every second that passes determines your fate. You are either in control of your destiny, or time will control it for you.

Those who possess the skill of being alone, devoid of distraction, are those in control of their destiny.
