Introduction
The world we live in is designed in a manner where one inspires 100s to do those aspirational things which they always wanted to feel and touch in hindsight. In small corners of heart they always wanted to thrive and experience those who live that life everyday by privilege or by the virtue of their success.
By definition “Aspiration is characterised by wanting to achieve social prestige and material success, while inspiration is an inner feeling that can produce happiness on its own.” Thus with the hope to aspire comes a whole loads of Influence.
Aspire to live better
That achievement of getting that one material which you always wanted, that luxury resort you always wanted to holiday at, that watch you rolled your eyes over , that latest iPhone which made your social presence important. All these aspirations have always been a part of our societies. But for someone who his making enough just to get daily basic done it all becomes a fantasy, a fantasy where we need someone from that 1% club to INFLUENCE us what getting that material could make us feel. Staying at that luxury property or getting hand on that materialistic desire would get us out of our boredoms and make us demand that respect in society which we have always craved for.
Influence is that latest game
The power of Influencing has always been a the most common one in aspiring people around, only the mediums have changed. If before it was limited and in your face now it’s more via media. Not just aspiring you to get them but also putting a label on you if and not achieved. With abundance of media in your pocket your desires have roofed where yo an I cannot just get enough, today you walk into that watch collection to get yourself your reward for your hardware, by evening your desire to backpack to Europe for a week would erupt so bad that your new Seiko has no value within next few hours.
The Inspiration
So we should be inspired to do anything and be that couch potato we always being hated for? Ofcourse not Inspiration taken to get your self Ina better shape, ability to put yourself forth in a better financial position, to help society and whatever capacity you can is always enough to getaspired for yourself, not some 22 year old kid to tell wants worthy or not. But that feel has to come within.Again there is no culprit in the story, it’s just the lack of awareness to create a bucket list of your own even if that is genuinely getting hands on the next apple buy, but for your own inspirational aspects not under any influence.
The Cycle
The win win guys here are the corporates where they play the puppet show, On one hand they will pay the not so glamorous lives of these internet sensations to Influence you to a point where you start questioning your life decisions. The cycle where neither the Influencer or the Influence is fully aware of the show they are putting together for these giants. The Influencer is doing to get those Wishlist done by getting the others create an unnecessary one. Funny that.
Not at all as someone from media industry at all I am saying that its vicious cycle but at all if this cycle continues we all will be heading to a place of mind where our aspirations are at all time on steroids but our peace within ourselves. Heading to Youtube after writing this article to find that next fancy product I will end paying for before my bills.
Take care.
