We all KNOW that Social Media is Creating Monsters, allowing for Bullying, Causing us to Compare our lives to Others, waste time scrolling and liking scrolling and liking without ever really engaging with our friends, etc....
But did you also know there are always two sides to the Coin???
Social Media can also be a HUGE blessing, helping us to Stay connect with friends and family we couldn't otherwise, or allowing us to support friends going through a rough patch, we can use it to share what works for us and what products we love, and many of us have also chosen to USE it to Build a Business.
Something that's been HUGE on my mind lately is this:
Just because we Choose to Work from home and Build a business online does NOT mean we work less hard, or it's a "pretend" Career, that we should be ignored, mocked, or teased for doing.
For some reason I have been noticing Work from Home Women being bullied by other parents who are Work out of the home parents or Stay at home parents.
I have seen my dear friends feel this and have it happen to them and I personally have a handful of times.
WE are all WOMEN, Doing what we feel is BEST for our Families. We should NEVER be tearing each other down, apart, or back talking to others about why one way of choosing to live is better than another.
NOT all of us WANT to be working from home, but we simply see no other option, Child care is too expensive and so working out of the home is not an option, and not working leaves us not being able to make ends meet. So we do our best with what we can, find what we are passionate about and Run with it. I LOVE that this is even an option for so many women these days.
Lately personally I have been feeling Lonely, feeling like the More I read personal development and try to better myself the less people want to associate with me. especially stay at home mom's and work from home moms. Almost like they think I think I am better or above them.
I do not feel that way and if YOU are reading this and think I am feeling this way towards you, NO I am not. More than anything I am feeling a HUGE burden to help Support our Family from drowning in debt and not enough money to make ends meet monthly, that I am trying my best to hold my emotions together, put the pedal to the medal and grow a business that allows us to cover the necessary costs of living.
So Please Mamma's
LOVE eachother
BUILD one another up
LAUGH together (not at each other)
CRY, VENT, and DUMP on each other as you talk things through
MAKE time to be a Friend the way the Savior Would.
and NEVER try to hurt, cause pain, or say snide words, you never ever know if that could be the last straw on their back that breaks them.
Follow the Golden Rule, Do Unto Others as you would have Done Unto You.
Even if you aren't a fan of what they do as their career, you can still LOVE, Like, and compliment them on their accomplishments.
Remember LIFE isn't a Competition against others it's a Competition against ourselves from yesterday, are we improving our lives today over how we were yesterday, that's it.
So if you have found yourself doing any comparing to others, bullying, name calling, etc.... I BEG You to STOP and Make this World a little easier to live in for all of us.
