Reels on TikTok are the way to grow your numbers. Maybe you want to be an influencer. It’s really about the followers to get advertising dollars that pay the bills. If you think about doing that but don’t, maybe you are like CeMBe. How time flies. Or gets away. One of the latest buzz words are “I Am in My Third Act”. I haven’t joined that club yet, but this new Act after my fulfilling career has been replaced by a plate of variety. I choose what I put on my plate. I choose what I want to digest. Sometimes I want more. Sometimes I want less.
What about you? Is it healthy for you? Are you gaining perspective or are you losing to frustration? Do you control the tempo, or have you learned to let it marinate to find its best flavor? Sometimes you cook the whole meal only to find you must start over. Not that you throw out the whole recipe but that you incorporate some seasonings that make it flow better, taste better. You refine it only subtly, but the result is more flavorful and accepting.
A project can consume your time. Make sure it is worthy of your time and focus. Did you miss writing or connecting with anyone? Were you aware of your anniversaries or important moments. Questions for CeMBe, for you. Did you mentally start and stop writing in your head to keep a connection going with your invisible followers? Yes, I did. If you are reading this, you can see I am alive and am free to connect again. Maintain family, close friends, your sanity, and even do some projects for purpose that is bigger than you. You must be okay with your self-imposed deadlines. You realize that while natural disasters swirled around you, many people have died, some conversations are the same nonsensical attempts to control but ultimately not controlling. You just keep doing your thing. Written in a plane enroute to a funeral.
