Visual-eyes

Visibility and the creation and stimulation of visibility is phenomenal in this day and age. People fight to be seen, heard, touched a sense of presence throughout all platforms of life. I read somewhere that in order for this lady to be her role in the sector she was in, she dressed the part everyday making sure she looked the part every time she took to the streets .

People are stimulated by what they see. They say you are never given a second chance on first impressions so do it right the first time. Now with social networks, pictures and text content needs to be on par with that demonstration. A friend once said it's funny how on facebook one never shows the bad pictures or times when they are sad or crying. True because we do not thrive on the mortifying material we aspire to be better with every time. So in every social network it's to impress on others the positive and favored side. Be it business, socialising or visualising.

The human psyche has taught us to portray the great selves, and that we do. There will only be a few that will be allowed to see your other dark defeated self. Basically we should all continue to do good and show good. Not to our detriment of course, but rather to the journey towards the good life. Even if your "good life" is saving elephants in some African poverty stricken country do it. Portray it on the networks and who knows you might find another like you or someone who may help you. But this can only happen when you are the true you.
