We all can't be Tila Tequila. We all can't be social media site celebrities. Not everyone can make a name for themselves through the advent of what is now a metamorphosed MySpace Market. This is not a shot at Tila Tequila or anyone that has risen through social media for that matter. On the contrary, I believe that in order for Tila to reach her status she had to be consistent within personal development.
Why do you do it- for the four seconds of fame? Why do you sit on Twitter all day as your words get washed down timelines- for the facade of fame? The truth is that we don't truly know how to exist without the attention we crave from others. And, it's in a crowded room in which we try to define ourselves. We are so heavily influenced by those we see on TV and those we watch on Twitter that we try and become them. When in reality the person that is on the TV screen probably wasn't watching TV all damn day- and if they were they were studying how to get there. They too were invested in their own personal development.
We must consistently ask ourselves what we are doing to define ourselves. What are we doing on a daily basis to personally grow? What are we doing on a weekly basis to better ourselves? What strides have we made this month? In the words of my brother, “Challenge Yourself and Grow” because if you are not growing where are you going? Are we being consistent in our attempts to contribute something of actual value to the world or are we wasting our time living for the four seconds that will find themselves in a forgotten place.
