A Breathtaking View from Nature's Embrace

⚠️ Warning some may find this offensive ⚠️ So I had this conversation with @brittanyannpayne about how everyone wants to be an influencer. It’s like the new movie star, and is honestly kind of a sad commentary on life in the 21st century. I get questions like how to get followers or how to get people to pay attention to you almost on the daily, yet I find it funny that a very small amount of the people wanting to be “influencers” even know what they want to influence people to do. And beyond that, many of these so called influencers are not influencing people to do anything but live in ENVY, LUST, HATRED, DEBAUCHERY or a desire for a PHONY LIFE. Is that really what you want? To influence people to feel bad about what they have so that they go buy something that you’re promoting so that you get paid a small amount? I’ll be honest, a lot of what happens is pathetic. When I started Instagram it was to take photos and share ideas that are positive and uplift people. It wasn’t to get 1 million followers, or make it my full time job, or get brand deals or any of that. I have been blessed to have a platform with lots of people who appreciate my work and words, but the goal was never in the numbers. Here’s the point. If you want to grow an audience and influence people, great, but have a purpose beyond yourself. The world doesn’t need another person standing in front of a cool place with a nice edit. What it needs is more people inspiring each other to be better humans. From the bottom of my heart, thank you all for 25k. Please keep me accountable for the responsibility it is having a platform of this size. You all are incredible!! God bless! Be blessed and stay stoked😎🤙 P.S. got something awesome dropping tomorrow that I think y’all will be stoked on! • • • • • •
