People get so opinionated on what people sell, promote, or recommend online.
‘Stupid fake influencers’
‘Stupid person just trying to make money’
The thing is though, during some point of our lives we ALL have sold something, or been involved in sales of some kind.
“But they don’t even use it, or like it” I hear people say.
So fucking what!
When you go into a clothing store do you think the sales person loves absolutely everything?
Of course not!
They are there to sell and service you for what YOU may want or what YOU are looking for.
Is that fake?
Should they lose their job?
Should they be criticized or denigrated in how they go about making their money?
What about when you go into a restaurant.
Do you think the service people eat or love every single thing on the menu?
Of course not!
They are there to sell and service you for what you may want or what you are looking for.
Is that fake?
Should they lose their job?
Should they be criticized or denigrated in how they go about making their money?
People sell to make money.
It’s a job.
Consider this; when you go to your job or work place (even if you don’t ‘technically’ sell, you still SELL your service), do you agree with absolutely everything that goes on?
Treatment of staff, hours, wages, procedures, lists of duties, how you are treated ?
Of course not!
You are there to sell your service for what is expected within your job description, even when it’s not all in 100% alignment for you.
Is that fake?
Should you lose their job? Should you be criticized or denigrated in how you go about making your money?
‘Working’ and being engaged in life is better than people sitting on their asses gaining benefits from our tax paying money.
We have to appreciate that not everyone has the dream or is cut out, to be doctor, accountant, teacher, manager, emergency services, electrician etc. and that’s ok!
Some people have a different vision for their life and work, and that’s ok.
We aren’t all supposed to like the same things or want the same lives.
If we did then society would collapse.
Every single human is needed to do their thing, in their own way, in the right time.
The world has changed. And is changing. The online world has opened up so many incredible opportunities for the new generations, so who are we to belittle and judge people who take advantage of the new way? Maybe ask the question why it bothers you so much?
It’s time we all stepped up a little individually as a society and started taking a bit more responsibility for our lives in all areas if we are not fulfilled, in place of sitting around wasting our time on what other people choose to do with their lives. This movement towards spewing hate, complaining and blaming everyone and everything else, is ultimately going to do you personally more harm than good.
No one on social media is being forced to follow.
No one on social media is being forced to buy.
No one on social media is being forced to believe.
In fact no one is being forced to do anything.
It’s time to start changing our focus from trying to take down others, to instead teaching children and teenagers (and adults) how to follow their own path, and make their own decisions, while allowing the world to show us different ideas, perspectives, and paths.
If we don’t start to realise the world is full of choices, and accept that they may not align with what is true for you, we will eventually end up with a world full of really oversensitive and irrational people.
People who can’t think for themselves independently, can’t stand up for themselves, can’t self-reflect and learn, can’t experience challenges to lead to growth, or can’t start choosing our own life by seeing all different types of people and different ways to be happy.
There is so much nastiness, judgement and opinions towards online influencers, yet I don’t see anyone in and around shopping centre stores or restaurants abusing people about selling products that they don’t personally use or believe in
I mean honestly, what is the difference between standing in a store, restaurant or shopping centre selling a product or service, or selling it online?
