You’re a Product of all the content you consume

There are a lot of people who will not agree with me here but If you watch more and more murder thrillers, you’ll start thinking like a killer.

If you watch more and more fantasy movies, you’ll forget about reality and would want to live in a fantasy world.

No matter what anyone says, I know and have experienced how the content you consume changes the way you behave.

When I was young I used to read a lot of romance novels. Yes, the cringy romance novels out there and these novels changed my perspective of love and made love and relationship for me the most important part of my life.

Which wasn’t true.

Due to my overconsumption of those cringy romance novels. My love life suffered for a long time. I’d often get stuck in a friendzone, or even if I get into a relationship, I’ll mess it up. Because I wasn’t operating close to reality.

So, Think about it. The 5 YouTubers you watch every day are the 5 people you surround yourself with and eventually, you’re gonna become like them.

The 5 books you read this month will highly impact the way you interact with your friends, family, and lover.

So, choose wisely. Just because we have a lot of content to consume doesn’t mean we should.

Remember the fact that the books, the shows, the movies, and the youtube videos you watch will change your perspective. It’s not only entertainment. Anyone who says you otherwise is lying to you.
