There is so much content available these days, and pressure associated to keep up with it. You need to be abreast of popular culture, that TV show everyone is talking about, or the social media trend which seems to have become a craze.

Sometimes lending an ear to the popular culture can be entertaining and be an escape from the monotony or boredom of daily life.

However it can also turn us into a passive consumer of content. It might make it more difficult for us to listen to our own viewpoints and get in touch with what we believe.

Or how we think the world works based on our experience.

There is no harm in consuming content, which can be entertaining and relaxing after a long day at work.

However it is more important perhaps to make time in the week to exercising your thinking and creativity as well.

It is important to assimilate and integrate our life experiences and learnings as we go through life.

To develop your original thought and point of view so that you can look at the world from your unique lens.
