Stop creating content and make something beautiful

Stop creating content

By sourav sahaPublished 3 years ago 3 min read

In the age of social media, we are bombarded with a never-ending stream of “content”. From viral TikTok dances to endless Instagram stories, we are consuming and creating more content than ever before. But what if we stopped focusing on creating “content” and instead focused on making something beautiful?

First, let’s define what we mean by “content”. In the digital age, content refers to any form of media that is created and shared on the internet. This can include blog posts, videos, social media posts, podcasts, and more. Content is often created with the goal of gaining views, likes, or shares, and is designed to be consumed quickly and easily.

While there is certainly value in creating content, there is also a danger in focusing solely on creating content for the sake of creating content. When we are constantly creating and consuming content, we can lose sight of what is truly valuable and important. We can become obsessed with gaining likes and followers, and forget about the deeper meaning behind our work.

This is where the concept of making something beautiful comes in. When we focus on making something beautiful, we are creating something with the goal of expressing ourselves and creating something that has meaning and value beyond simply gaining views or likes. Making something beautiful can take many forms, from writing a poem to painting a picture to baking a cake.

So why is it important to focus on making something beautiful instead of just creating content? Here are a few reasons:

It allows us to express ourselves more fully.

When we focus on making something beautiful, we are not constrained by the need to create something that will go viral or gain a lot of likes. Instead, we can focus on expressing ourselves in a way that feels true and authentic to us. This can be incredibly freeing, and can allow us to tap into a deeper sense of creativity and self-expression.

It can have a deeper impact on our audience.

While content is often created with the goal of going viral or gaining lots of likes, making something beautiful is about creating something that has a deeper impact on our audience. When we focus on making something beautiful, we are creating something that has the potential to touch people’s hearts and minds in a way that content often cannot. Whether it’s a beautiful piece of art or a moving piece of writing, making something beautiful can have a lasting impact on those who experience it.

It can help us connect with others on a deeper level.

When we focus on making something beautiful, we are not just creating something for ourselves. We are creating something that has the potential to connect with others on a deeper level. Whether it’s through a shared love of music or a shared appreciation for art, making something beautiful can help us connect with others in a way that goes beyond superficial likes and follows.

So how can we start focusing on making something beautiful instead of just creating content? Here are a few tips:

Don’t focus on the numbers.

When we focus solely on creating content, we can become obsessed with the numbers. How many views did our video get? How many likes did our post receive? But when we focus on making something beautiful, we need to let go of the numbers and focus on creating something that is true and authentic to ourselves.

Take your time.

Content is often created quickly and easily, with the goal of getting it out into the world as fast as possible. But when we focus on making something beautiful, we need to take our time. Whether it’s taking the time to write a thoughtful essay or spending hours perfecting a painting, making something beautiful requires patience and dedication.

Focus on what inspires you.

When we focus on making something beautiful, we need to focus on what inspires us. Whether it’s a beautiful landscape or a moving piece of music
