Dino’s Journal 📖

I ran into this video earlier and I could not get it off my mind. It's a great video on how our pride, our ego, our need for recognition, leads us away from the simple and quiet life, and into a life of stress and anxiety.

Here are some of my takeaways:

• Trying to promote yourself or your work online only leads to more stress.
• Chasing after accolades, recognition, views, likes, hearts means you're not free.
• Jesus had the simple and quiet life because he was so humble and he had no pride. He rejected popularity.
• You don't need to give up on your hobbies/activities to live a simple and quiet life. You just need to stop promoting yourself while engaging in said hobbies/activities.
