    Why Purpose over Pleasure?

    The most important piece of advice I would have given to my teenage self is putting purpose over pleasure.

    As mentioned by Angela Duckworth in her book Grit, with grit and determination we come to realize the value of finding a meaning in life as opposed to short term “dopamine” driven results.

    Hence once we realize this truth as a teenager our mindset as our vision towards life would orient her for long term focus.

    My teenage was much different from that of modern day millennials. This blog post would provide the best advice for modern day millennials.

    There are two things which are driving modern day millennials crazy:

    1. Instant gratification – Through channels such as Amazon wherein you instantly get what you want. The absence of instant gratification leads to feeling of anxiety and stress. PATIENCE is the KEY.
    2. Addiction to social media – The fear of missing out forces these millennials to seek a dopamine shot through Likes and Shares on social media platforms. JUDICIOUS use of SOCIAL MEDIA is the KEY.

    Unfulfilled needs due to 1 and 2 lead to feeling of anxiety, depression and even suicidal cases in modern day millennials.
