Does this account educate me, make me better, or does it just fire me up?

Can I just encourage you with something this week?

Every voice does not deserve access to your mind.

Not every voice deserves access to your mind.

My friends know this.

Social media is not neutral.

It shapes you.

It shapes your thoughts.

It shapes your mood.

It shapes your perception of reality.

I even think it shapes your worldview.

And so if you follow 500 accounts and 50 of them are constantly making you feel less than, if they are somehow agitating you or distracting you, that's not random, right?

That's design, and that's not Mark Zuckerberg's fault.

That's design that you opted in for.

And so I'm just going to encourage you to do two things to have a healthy relationship with social media.

Number one, evaluate your time on it.

Not from a place of shame, but from a place of stewardship.

Two and a half hours a day is not automatically evil.

But I do have to ask, is it intentional?

Are you consuming because you chose to or because you're bored?
