Social Identity – Christina Faith

 

We are in the midst of a major identity crisis. We live in a world where it is cool to share every moment, however we often share these moments without actually thinking about it. Recently, I’ve had the opportunity to begin a process of an inward search regarding my childhood and how I am currently affected by past circumstances. It is a tough process that you wouldn’t want to share on social media, let alone think of. Social media has created our “currency” of self-worth. We now measure our worth in life compared to how much “social currency” we have or the amount of likes we got on our last photo. Throughout my journey online I am discovering the content that impacts people the most doesn’t get the most shares, but the most clicks.

Why Is Networking So Important? – Christina Faith

Why You Shouldn’t Quit – Christina Faith

 

There are a lot of quitters in the world. In fact there are more quitters than there are finishers. Our world would be a significantly different place if we finished what we started. In no way am I suggesting I am a master finisher, but I do tend to finish more than your average person.

A few years ago a few friends of mine got engaged. They had a lot of issues prior to their engagement, yet they attempted to forge forward anyway. However, they didn’t get married because they refused to workout the issues of their hearts as they were revealed. I have seen a lot of people get married and unengaged due to issues of the heart. The issues of our hearts tend to look like our unfinished projects. We have a lot of excitement, so we rush to finish them. A quarter of the way through the project we realize that the project or relationship isn’t as easy as we expected. It requires a deeper evaluation of our thoughts and more criticism that we can stomach.
