Real Life > Reel Life

The instagram highlight reel is killing our perception of reality.

Reel life isn't real life.

Faces don't have filters.

Bodies don't have photoshop.

Every facial expression isn't a smile.

Every car isn't a Mercedes or a Ferrari.

Every house isn't a triple story mansion.

Every flight isn't a business flight.

I'm a big fan of celebrating wins and achievements but when we are consistently bombarded with everyone's highlight reel of life, real life can seem quite dull.

Check this out...

Since you are seeing business flights all over instagram that may become the new standard for you, though you haven't eaten sat in a business flight yet.

Now all of a sudden, here you are sitting in an economy seat and feeling like you are below average.

When without instagram, you would be perfectly happy just to be going where you need to go.

I hear it so much...

"She's so lean, I love her bum."

"Did you see his holiday? He was on a super yacht in Mykonos!"

"Have you seen them together? They look so happy and they're always travelling together! What a dream!"

"His six pack is all I want!"

Let me tell you a little secret...

We all have shit days.

We all look like shit in the mirror some days.

We all have rolls on our stomach when we sit down.

Every successful person has worked hard to get to where they are.

Some people even hire private jets and Lamborghinis to take photos and hash tag #entrepneur

And let me tell you one more secret...

The only reel you should be worried about is yours and the biggest highlight of your life happens every day... You open your eyes and live another day.

The more grateful you are, the happier you become.

Real life > reel life.
