Thanks to the venue of social media, we get to see individuals from all walks of life barter for attention - the I'll show you what I'm doing and see if you can top it game.
Whether it's intentional or not, trying to get the recognition from
others at any cost is frankly unattractive. And, the more one does it,
the less appealing that person can become. We've all done it to some
level - the bragging thing. You know, check out who I had dinner with tonight or where our family got to go on vacation... The
more we fall into the trap of trying to out-perform, the greater the
chances that we'll find ourselves in the endless cycle of comparing
ourselves to others. No fun, and not attractive! If you are constantly
trying to prove something or boast about something new in your life,
check yourself out more deeply. And, pause to remember that you are
loved by the God of the Universe! Wanna know how to get healthy
attention? Be crazy generous with those who can't pay you back.
Embrace the Audience of One mentality. Maintain a Christlike attitude
with everyone. We all need God's grace to walk this out. Living as a
child of God, enabled by that grace makes you attractive. And, that's
enough!
How can you embrace a better version of you in light of who you are in Christ?
