The accolades of the masses are attractive. Loud is attractive.
- Likes are loud.
- Shares are loud.
- Comments are loud.
For every post I make that gets good engagement, I get another with crickets. I still post the ones that are less compelling, because someone needs to see it.
But for every post of crickets online, THOSE are the posts that get more engagement offline, in real life
- Those are the ones people DM me about.
- Those are the ones friends text me about.
- Those are the ones that mentors and people that I look up to message and say, “I see you. I see every post.”
Loud is not a requirement. The louder the online persona usually the more they’re compensating.
Calm is compelling in a world of loud.
Vanity is loud, but respect is quiet.
