Do Self-Development in Youth by Exploring Positive Things
After college, immediately open the cellphone, scrolling without limits, after work, let go of fatigue by exploring the profiles of people on social media or checking the story of the doi to see what he is doing. Have you ever done that? I'm sure of course some of us have, especially at this time and plus we are facing the covid-19 pandemic. Moreover, access to the internet is getting easier.
If Newton's Law says, everything we do, of course has an action reaction force. This also applies in everyday life. There are so many things that we can enjoy from these various social media platforms. Maybe at that time we felt enjoy watching other people's activities. One of them is to enjoy scrolling on social media. Maybe someone is traveling, cooking, studying, working, and many other things. I was so enjoying myself, I could unconsciously just scroll without knowing the time.
We unconsciously often compare ourselves with others. As a result, we are surrounded by a sense of insecurity. How can she be so beautiful? How come he only works for a walk? Sometimes we also think why our lives are not as enjoyable as other people's lives who can travel, buy luxury goods, have close relationships with friends and much more.
We become more passive and less self-aware. Less accepting what we have and less exploring our various abilities. Most people if asked what is your future goal? answered with I don't know. I'm confused with myself. This is one of the problems of young people today. It is undeniable that bad habits are one of the causes.
Have we ever thought about the importance of setting aside time for self-development? Say that we can spend 3 full hours playing social media. Try setting aside an hour and a half to explore yourself. There are many ways to explore more about yourself, your hobbies, goals, goals, and much more. For example, by reading books, playing music, drawing and many more. The shift in interest in reading to social media is one of the things that is highlighted. Especially reading with motivational and inspirational genres. Maybe a lot of people think it's weird to read like that. Do you want to be a psychologist?
I'm sure we all want to be successful. Believe it or not, things that smell of motivation or inspiration are very important, especially for young people. By reading inspirational stories, we as young people find the positive sides of all the struggles the character goes through.

Are we really struggling? Are we not giving up? Are we becoming a better person day by day? Or is it the same? The more we know ourselves, the easier it will be for us to find our own adventure on the journey to achieve our dreams.
Each of the twists and turns of life experienced by us as young people, of course, also faces ups and downs as well. We can reflect on it to be a very valuable lesson in the future. A few times fail is not a problem. But looking at it from a different point of view, namely with failure, we learn more and more. Nothing is in vain when we have struggled.
By reading inspirational stories, sometimes we can also find motivational quotes that may suit us. Simple sentences that may be able to arouse passion in striving for dreams for us young people. Maybe at this time we feel we are still in a position far from the purpose of life. Left behind with peers who may have achieved their respective targets. Feeling that our way is wrong in walking. Believe that no matter how small a step we take, no matter how unique that step is, we are already one step closer to our goal.
