The digital world is the Pandora’s Box.
Can’t you see that more you open digital boxes, more you find there? Inside this New Reality Game, you can find a lot to be played with.
I am not saying that reality in the way you know and experience is dead. Not at all… What I’m saying is that we are deepen the layers of what we know as reality.
We are bringing the concept of reality to whole new level.
I am (and probably always have been) a enthusiastic of new things.
I love new approaches.
I love to see the same thing in a lot of new different angles and perspectives.
This is something that moves me, you know? And I am sure that is something that hooks you as well. Specially in this era we’re living in.
Who doesn’t like some new innovative ideas?
It’s kind of boring when you are living day by day expecting everything to be in the same place and acting in the same way.
Even when you build a routine, it’s better when you a repeating your days but at the same time is climbing your growth through repetition.
Even when you encounter the same thing over and over again, cultivating a little of imagination can transform that specific thing in the highlight aspect of the day. (don’t be shy on transforming what you perceive at the first impression using the strength you have to molde reality. It’s expect from you to be doing that).
Reality always have been something subjective.
Almost everyone knows that all we live is perceive and signify by our past experiences and by the way our life is happening (for us) everyday.
You are the writer, the actor, the director and the executive of your own film.
“The mind is everything; what you think, you become.”
(Buddha)
Do you know how Pandora struggle in her way to kept her hands away from open the Box that was given to her by the Gods?
The story begins with Pandora, the first woman created by the gods, a being of immense beauty and grace, but also of insatiable curiosity. She was given a box crafted with divine hands and sealed tight, with one strict command: never open it.
Yet, how could anyone resist the pull of the unknown?
Everyday we are triggered to be update on the News of our Social Media.
Every new notification gets our attention to what we should be given our attention and, being aware of the trigger, start our resistance to open the box.
At the same time, the Box here is not just a container.
It’s a gateway… a threshold between what was known and the infinite possibilities that lay beyond.
She open the box, of course. The same as you, as me, as anyone who always give in to the temptation on being up score, being inside what the Internet can bring and the next trend you need to know.
Your lack of focus transform a box full of pretties in a chaos that is unleashed.
The internet, much like Pandora’s box, has released a flood of information, connectivity, and innovation, but also misinformation, privacy breaches, and cyber threats.
The digital world offers us everything we could desire, yet it also presents dangers that we could never have imagined.
But here’s the twist, the part of the story often overlooked: Pandora, in her panic, slammed the lid shut just in time to trap one last thing inside. At the bottom of the box, buried beneath the chaos, there was something unforeseen:
Hope.
It lay there quietly, a beacon of resilience, waiting to be found.
“The subconscious mind will translate into its physical equivalent, by the most direct and practical method available, any order that is given to it in a state of belief, or faith, and followed by action. The emotions of Faith, Love, and Hope are the ones which most readily cause the subconscious mind to act upon the orders given to it.”
(Think and Grow Rich – Napoleon Hill)
In my search for meaning, the Internet was one big factor that bring me both peace and knowledge.
Peace is peace, right?
Knowing other people is struggling at the same things as I brought me a lot of Identification and, at the same time, kind of an understanding of the big picture.
Knowledge is the best gift I receive.
I’m able to find anything that I want and more than that, infinity possibilities to discover, analyze and look to different angles of the same subject.
You may think like, “Yeah, that’s the internet, bro”.
If you do, you really don’t get it.
As Pandora, the edge of her curiosity doesn’t led her to find what really matter at first.
Social Media nowadays is what we perceive and, most of the times, understand as Internet… and it’s not wrong at all. Maybe is the hall of this Digital House.
But The Internet is a lot more.
The wisdom, skills and connections of modern society lay here. Can you imagine?
If you want to do something, theres a way of transforming anything in a digital version that communicates with everyone around the world and resonates with like minded people.
For me, the big deal is understanding The Internet as another layer of the Game of Life.
It’s the part of the game that you can find the 7 negatives emotions to deal with.
But it’s the part of the game where you can highlight even more the 7 positive emotions of Human Being:
– Desire
– Faith
– Love
– Sex
– Enthusiasm
– Romance
– Hope
In our digital age, Hope could be seen as the very essence of innovation.
The belief that, despite the challenges, we can create something better.
It is the assurance that even amidst the chaos of the digital world, we have the capability to adapt, to learn, and to harness these forces for good.
And that was exactly what happened to me.
Doing so, one of the best ways to make real connections with people, mostly online, is to exchange.
Sometimes you exchange knowledge, sometimes you exchange experiences…
But everyone wants to exchange value.
By calling attention, you connect with people so they can see and appreciates your world view, interact with your principles and…
Exchange value in the form of money.
Just to know, the global e-learning market is projected to reach $325 billion by 2025, reflecting the increased interest in digital education and self-improvement.
But the average person spends 2+ hours/day on Social media, what adds up to 912 hours per year.
In a consuming state. Slamming the lid shut too early, just as Pandora.
Some of your time could be used for more intentional activities, like gaining knowledge or learning new skills, don’t you agree?
It’s not easy, tho. I get it.
The least we can do is try to look at our phone and the access to this digital world we have as a jump to a brand New Reality.
Because it’s exactly what The Internet is: a new floor to Rality Interaction.
Take this mathematical note that a big part of people are sharing these days:
(1.00)³⁶⁵ = 0
(1.01)³⁶⁵ = 37.7
So, you can improve doing basically almost nothing, you see? Like:
– Choose one Youtube Video that is not about gossip or funny things.
– Read one article that access something you always wanted to know.
– Talk to one person that you think shares some values alike yours.
Do something.
Create your New Reality.
Create your new world inside the Internet. Your own world.
You won’t just create a new vision or a new form of interacting; or even whole new life.
Not just that.
How you can be inside this reality and living together with this new possibilities will arise day after day!
You will start to experience New Portals of what can be done, how you can meet other people or new things and why the Internet is so important to live life right into this informational generation we are in.
Time traveling? Done. (We can talk with people at the other side of the world instantly)
Shape-shift? Don’t worry. (We can transform ourselves in anyone we want in others eyes through Social Media)
Teleportation? Tell me about it. (It’s literally just a click away)
The Internet, like Pandora’s Box, holds immense potential to either unleash chaos or to unlock hope and growth. Choosing right you walk the path the New Reality you always wanted.
Maybe this is too much.
Maybe the comfort zone is something much more stronger than your will.
Maybe something is screaming inside your chest but you don’t know how to deal with it.
Most of the times, we know we could to be doing much more. We just don’t know how to start.
“I’m convinced that about half of what separates successful entrepreneurs from the non-successful ones is pure perseverance.”
(Steve Jobs)
I’m not trying to convince you to change your whole life…
But, if you became aware already that something have to be done, you can follow me here.
Those are three little things that I did to improve the quality of my time online.
You can do it too and see how it fits to your online goals.
Set Clear Intentions
What’s the first app you open when you get in touch with your phone every morning?
Is this really the first thing you wanna look at in your “good morning” mood?
What if you could receive a Matrix Download (like Morpheus and Neo do on that fight scene of Matrix movie
— a classic, you must be watching it) of literally anything you want to know more and get better at?
With Clear Intentions you start to taking control about the kind of information you want to deal & interact with.
The kind of things you really wants to influence you during the rest of your day.
Find your purpose first thing in the morning! Tune to your higher frequency.
A very good habit you can add to your routine is: you can separate the right amount of time that you’ll spend on Social Media, or even better…
Use your Social Media as a portal to magnet anything you want in life producing meaningful content. (just a suggestion, cause it’s very possible to magnet it).
Limit Distractions
We are not owners of our own behaviors in our daily basis.
We are slaves of our habits. They control our reactions and our automatic responses.
We act upon situations in a way we are use to. In a way we now how to react.
For that, you need to be smarter than your automatic self.
Designate specific amount of time to learn or skill-building. I’m doing this right now while I’m writing.
You’ll (almost) always fall to your old scrolling habits if you do not take care.
Start to develop new habits. The ones you know will make you better.
Hack your time. Hack your attention. Hack your desire.
Some people use website blockers and other mechanisms like that. I don’t like it.
I like to test myself.
But can be something good to get started.
Curate Learning Spaces
Maybe the most difficult thing here is abandon your old online personality to a new one that is more productive and proactive to your Purpose.
The most effective trick you can do here is to get rid of all the following, the subscribing and the sharing of superficial things.
(It’s the hard thing to do but at the same time it’s the easiest way to accomplishing a good online environment).
You replicate what you get in touch with. If you change the input, you’ll certainly change your ability to create and focus.
I was following more that 3000 account on my Instagram.
It diminishes almost 30 accounts per day (I’m doing it in low speed so it not takes me a lot of time each day).
In this way, I’m able to let go, little by little, my bad online behaviors and focusing in the new good ones.
Instead of this low quality content, go after the real knowledge you want to acquire.
Trust me on this one. Makes wonderful changes to your daily life when you change your mental diet.
___________________
And for each one of those steps, you can try the hack that follows it.
To help you on how to do it, keep those fresh in you mind:
In “Setting new Clear Intentions” → You can Focus on Completion over Perfection
Day after day you are testing yourself.
Testing your new taste. Testing your new Consuming Habit.
Be aware that you will not be perfect at the first time.
But keep going. Make it fun to change.
In “Limit Distractions” → You can Set tangible Goals to Online Learning
When you have a goal everything changes.
It starts to rule your prioritization attention. Starts to be the most important thing to be doing at every moment.
So, transform your learning into something else. Don’t treat that as a weigh you have to carry and the distraction will rip away naturally.
You take your time from one less important place and invest it in another more important one.
Your time becomes an asset which make sense to distribute in a wise way.
In “Curate Learning Spaces” → You can Create a Routine and Stick to It
Don’t fool yourself on that.
If you do not create another day to day life habits you can base on and follow, you cannot change your spaces.
Your mind spaces.
What you make in the outside influences you in the inside.
Follow your routine everyday until it starts to be easy to follow.
Until it transforms itself in your Lifestyle.
It’s the way it is.
My favorite part is the Routine.
It was what really helped me to change my mindset and puts me in a whole new state of wanting to extract the best of my life, goals and habits.
I suggest it to all my friends:
Separate 3 months just to your mind & body get used to your New Reality.
You can find anything you want, learn anything you desire and become who you actually want to be in the future through access to The Internet.
Bring your future to the “right now” moment.
Ask yourself:
What is that Hope which lies at the bottom of our digital explorations?
Follow the steps of Pandora on looking at the bottom of the Internet Box and lead yourself to find the real important things as soon as possible.
Not because of the rush.
But because your New Reality in waiting for you.
The right one.
we are on tune.
