BOMBARDED!

Today almost everyone is on social media. Social media can be a VERY positive tool if you use it for good. Without facebook, I would have little connection with people who share my medical condition. For it, facebook has been an invaluable resource. Sadly, I see more and more people using facebook and other social media outlets to spread negativity and to push their own political agenda. I am all for people speaking up for their beliefs! However, let me ask you something. How many of you feel bombarded by negativity? How many of you would feel better if you weren't on facebook? I know I would feel better if I spent time off facebook, but I would also miss all my friends. Facebook can be a great resource but I also believe that it is making people further divided. There is so much hatred and negativity on facebook. People even get scared but what they see on facebook! I know I have. The thing is we need to begin to unplug from the negativity. If we want to be the change we want to see in the world, then we need to be careful of what we say and what we post on facebook. We all have heard that the words we say are a reflection of our heart. The same is true for what we post on social media platforms! It makes me sad when I see what people post on facebook. It makes me sad because  I have learned about what we post on social media is what people are feeling inside their hearts! They are scared! They are hurting! They are angry! We were made for SO MUCH MORE then the way we are living today! Do you want to be a vehicle that brings about positive change? Do you want to get rid of the fear, hurt and anger? Do you want to reengage yourself with things that REALLY matter- family, friends, faith, hope and love?
