There are all kinds of reasons for doing things.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In the end, I wonder if it comes down to just two: avoiding fear & pain or making ourselves feel better, which is sort of the same thing.<\/p>\n

I loved this photo (below) for it’s weirdness.<\/h4>\n

What’s more exciting than running on to the field when a soccer match is in progress? Taking a picture of yourself doing it…but wait…<\/p>\n

I wonder…would this girl have run onto the football pitch in the middle of this match if she had left her mobile phone at home<\/span>?<\/h3>\n

Would the notoriety feel<\/em> real if it could not be captured on her camera phone?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Is her fear “not mattering”?
\nOr maybe the motivation was to get some quick attention on Facebook, pure and simple.<\/p>\n

Perhaps she was self and selfie motivated. Could it be crazy fun, or just crazy?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

\"Screen<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Of course we can only speculate.<\/strong>
\nIn speculating alone, we will only distract ourselves from our<\/span> fears<\/strong>. And those fears are the ones we live with each day. They<\/span> are the ones that matter. So let’s transition…<\/em><\/p>\n

As you prepare yourself for the new year, consider your motivations and your fears.<\/strong>\u00a0What are they? Jot the big ones down. Be brave.<\/p>\n

They will last the whole year long, likely, but you can move toward mastering them, yes? That said, you probably<\/em> won’t be able to if you take a lot of selfies. It seems there’s something of a dead end in that preoccupation.<\/p>\n

Did this photo make you laugh or cringe?<\/h4>\n

If yes, share to say you care. :)<\/p>\n

HAPPY 2014!<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
