THE HEALTHY RATIO OF LIFE

I’ve been into this YouTube blogger lately and she made a video about THE BALANCE IN LIFE which made me realize how right she is. The video was about a book she read which says you should maintain a healthy ratio (YA, there’s a ration ha-ha) in your life to conquer happiness and free yourself from all sorts of disappointment. We should maintain a proper balance between how much we consume and how much we actually create. Creation is an art which makes us feel satisfied, like as you’re doing something in your life and leading to an output. Whereas consuming, not food but information or ideas, as in observing others creation or work through plenty of sources available today. I know, it gives you an inspiration, no doubt it does, you know what exactly the level is of what you’re looking for. But there’s a line between feeling inspired and brought down. Don’t you think when you consume too much from your surroundings you feel disappointed by yourselves, you feel like you’re not doing or getting as much as you should? For instance, you’re a photographer and you’re so much into those elite photographers whom you inspire a lot, you keep scrolling through their work and feed. Surely you’re getting inspired but are you able to progress then? No. instead of actually going out and clicking and creating you’re only consuming their work. And also the more you consume you tend to compare yourselves to them or envy them, it's kinda natural or human-like but eventually, it will lead you down because instead on focusing on what you should do next you’re more focused on what they are doing and try to follow their path. But everyone has their own path, isn’t it?

Now here comes the ratio we should follow, that’s the ratio of between consuming and creating. If we consume more than we create we tend to feel disheartened, we lack self-confidence because maybe we’re not doing that much and that’s obvious if you keep on consuming how can you create? But when we make sure to create more than we consume, we feel more happy, productive and confident.

 So Create, no matter what, a painting or career or even a healthy relationship, because this is what which, will shape you, improves your abilities and helps you to grow as a person. And this is what you actually need A BALANCED LIFE.
