With so much access to people’s lives through social media we can easily become obsessed.

Sitting in a room with family and friends can become a challenge to those who are more committed to their media connects.

I have no problems with social media.

There is a concern that those who seek and invest more into their online followers may struggle with actual life interactions.

People seem to be bold, courageous, popular, outgoing accepted and loved via their life on social media.

Engaging in relationships and building community in real-time, is still relevant.

We may miss our opportunity to bond, and build relationships that are relevant simple because we are blind to those around us.

If your commitment to your platform via social media becomes more relevant than spending time with actual people you need to be woke.

As human beings we are wired for relationships.

We are created for touch, and real interaction.

Social media has its place in life, and I believe in it.

But when you have 4 hours a day committed to scrolling but not one minute to speak face to face, a blindness is happening.

Social media is not the problem.

If you enjoy scrolling and commenting on photos but have no conversation when you meet up with family and friends check yourself.

Slowly, the visibility of others are becoming less important.

If you can not communicate for 30 minutes face to face without your phone in your hand, it is a sign that obsession may be creeping in.

Yes some people work online for business, and social media is a stream of income.

It is important that we do not compromise real relationships and quality time for the next viral video or celebrity pic.

Keep everything in balance.

Life requires healthy relationships.

If those you say you love is becoming less and less priority, the blindness may be affecting you as well.

Wake up daily with the intentions to build relationships, and discover new community outside of social media.

Avoid being blind to those who matter most.
