Ignore Hollywood and Social Media

The more I meditate on the current state of culture, the more I recognize the insane stranglehold Hollywood and social media have on the general population. They create a lifestyle where people share their lives in the most curated, aesthetic way possible on platforms like Instagram. The sad truth? These platforms offer nothing of value except temporary fame in exchange for your attention.

People become hamsters on a wheel, forever chasing after a sliver of cheese—a dopamine hit. Meanwhile, you could be in the gym, taking a cold shower, or challenging yourself with physical activities to receive a far more rewarding sensation.

Modern Notions of Success Are a Scam

We let Hollywood and the media dictate what success should look like. Fancy clothes, flashy cars, and celebrity homes—these are not true indicators of success. Once you remove the value of these external, material things, you tap back into your physiology and the natural order of what it means to be human.

I believe most people are way too comfortable with the state of their existence. They go to work, come home, watch TV, go to sleep, repeat. We chase money, sacrificing our physical and mental health in the process.

Create Your Own Media Empire. Ignore the Rest.

True success doesn’t come from media’s shallow ideals. Build your own world, create your own media empire, and focus on what truly matters. Ignore the rest.
