The Pain Of Influencers and Content Creators

THE PAIN CELEBRITIES AND INFLUENCERS GO THROUGH

Many motivational speakers and writers indulge us to become better versions of ourselves, they act as the shepherd guiding his sheep to greener pastures,

We regard them as models worthy of replication,

Sometimes we even go as far as considering them mini-gods guiding us through life.

On the other hand, some others specialize in scrutinizing their entity and pinpointing the flaws and faults they try so hard to subdue.

Criticism whether constructive or not, is painful, talk less of words aimed specifically at waning the confidence guage of a fellow human.

I want to redirect our minds to the scorn our present day influencers go through,

Hateful comments and unimaginable statements coming through to them as they try to keep up their content creation for the benefit of their flock, but all these efforts fall on the stony heart of their black sheep .

Please as followers let's try to be considerate and put ourselves in their shoes, as they are only humans.

Do this in the prospect, of our expectations to one day become influencers,

Remember you sow what you reap,

let us learn to be considerate with the words we utter, because hate comments is simply ingratitude at it's peak.

Here's The reality of the spotlight

Who doesn't want to be on the headline of every newspaper, the context of every blog post, the talk of the town and the envied personality?

Absolutely no one, to be frank that's inadvertently our secret wishes.

The adulations and attention that's articulated to being the limelight can not be overestimated...and it's pervading side effects are real and obvious.

We're oblivious of the naked fact that the limelight transmutes us much more than we can imagine, I therefore endorse the opinion that being on the spotlight has tremendous and treacherous effects than we can actually fathom.

So you may ask, whats wrong with being " The hero"?

Actually and sincerely there's nothing erroneous about being one, but as those praise and adoration comes so also will the cross follow.

We all know the rudimentary saying that to whom much is given, much is expected.

They give you the trophy but subsequently demand continuous and incessant astounding ideas and works from you, forgetting that we can't always be at the top of our game and that abstruse and profound inspiration comes as it pleases and we therefore have no control, but their sugarcoated remarks drives us and we find ourselves pressured to produce more invaluable contents and at the end of the day, we mess up since our motive wasn't centered on the right reasons and on the fact that the mind can not be forced and will only flow at its own pace.

Since they now view you as the ultimate because of your previous magnificent works, you are expected to keep purging out your unrivaled fertilizer onto them and most times we get intoxicated and forget what truly mattered to us and more often end up waning in our once plausible prowess.

I need to break it to you that the feelings of pride are very much intractable in this case and its potency overwhelms us if we become off guard.

So am I saying the limelight is the villain and should be avoided?

No, not at all, because the main purpose of highlighting its havoc is so we can avoid it.

Many get to the top and change entirely, then we start to wonder what happened to our once humble friend.

The poison of the spotlight had its way.

So how do we avoid falling prey to it?

We should simply be mindful and meticulous enough to discern its goodness from its bad. if you don't want to see your once excellent skill become an ardous task then you need to be conscious of the venom of the spotlight.

Make people understand that you are a person, not perfect
