Why you shouldn't rely on social media for learning about discipline
Insightful Perception
Social media provides a shallow understanding of discipline. Some examples are the limited character count, quick soundbites with no context, and visually appealing content can lead to oversimplification of the concept and context of the intended message. True discipline requires a deeper understanding of the underlying principles, strategies, and mindset shifts necessary for long-term success.
Relying solely on social media may hinder your ability to grasp the intricacies and nuances of discipline.
Authentic Representation
Influencers and content creators work very carefully to curate their posts to present an idealized version of discipline. They emphasize the end results and highlight their achievements, while downplaying the challenges, setbacks, and sacrifices that accompany the journey. This filtered portrayal can create an unrealistic perception of what discipline entails. It is important to recognize that discipline involves facing and overcoming obstacles, embracing failure, and making consistent efforts to actually reach your goals
Individualized Approach
Discipline is not a one-size-fits-all concept. Each person has unique strengths, weaknesses, goals, and circumstances that shape their journey towards discipline. Social media, with its mass appeal and generic content, may overlook the importance of personalization. Building discipline requires self-reflection, understanding your own motivations and values, and tailoring strategies and techniques that align with your specific needs. Relying solely on social media may hinder your ability to develop an approach that truly resonates with you.
Patience vs. Instant Rewards
Social media tends to promote an instant gratification culture that wants quick results and immediate rewards. This is far from helpful because discipline is built upon the foundation of patience, persistence, and delayed gratification.
It requires a long-term perspective and a willingness to put in consistent effort over time. Social media's emphasis on quick fixes and shortcuts can create unrealistic expectations and undermine the true essence of discipline.
Transience
The motivation you get from social media is often short lived due to the curated nature of content. The overload of information, dependence on external validation, shallow engagement, and the absence of intrinsic motivation.
