Shiny objects

It's so easy to get caught up in the pursuit of image. Production value. All flash and no substance. Where is the truth in what we do? Everyone is off chasing the "cool factor" that sometimes they forget about the insight. Sometimes it's about saying something obvious in a cool way, but I find that saying something insightful makes more of an inpact. Obviously execution and insight are the ultimate goal. But it seems like most people chase the first rather than the latter. I feel like I'm starting to forget my own point of view because everything/everyone around me is trying to be one thing and I start to think I need to be that too. It's a shiny object and bright lights, it's easy to be distracted and drawn to it. The gold lives in our own experiences and connecting to those experiences. Not in throwing up an idealized image and making people feel bad that they're not that. It doesn't matter how cool it looks if it's not genuine.
