Rethinking

God is stirring things in me. Life is new and exciting and so much is changing. From relationships to how I want to live, God is opening my eyes to new ideas and adventures. I’ve been thinking about how I want to advertise for my business and learning that advertising online is truly affordable, easy, and what everyone is doing. Facebook, Instagram, youtube, twitter. When I was learning how to start a business, it was recommended that I post three times a day. I have yet to do that. Push it in peoples’ faces, make them see what you're all about, and present a beautiful picture of something that will make them discontent. Make them long for something they don’t have so they will grab what you have. Somehow, I think that how I should be advertising and what I am advertising don’t mesh. I want to work hard, live a healthy life, and give guidance on how to live a healthy life. Yet, it’s so easy to fall into a different intention when posting something. For instance, I might post because I want people to see the perfected version of what I am doing, how easy it is, how cool I am because I am so healthy, I always live like this, and I never fail. I don’t want to live for the next “like” in my picture. I’m not saying advertising online isn’t helpful, and I will continue to advertise and encourage with posts; however, I don’t want to be a slave to what society sees as the correct amount of advertising. Most likely, it would be extremely beneficial for me to post three times a day and present perfect pictures, but God is showing me my limitations and how to thrive within them. Working hard is really important and I will continue to strive to do a good job in everything I do and present things well; however, I think it’s good to recognize where I am and what my intention is behind what God has me doing. I am writing this to let people know that this is something I want my business to live by and also it is something that I can refer back to when I fail.
