Thursday Thoughts ❤️
"With all the conveniences of the modern world, comes great responsibility."
Dr Courtney Conley
What a statement and so true.
Dr Conley's expertese is feet and walking but it applies to everything this modern world is plying us with to "help", from Ultra Processed Food, Fast Fashion, Ozempic, Social Media, AI.... the list goes on.
Never has their been a greater need to own it, create self policing rules of life which enable us to survive the huge negative trade offs caused by the convenience of modern day living.
All of these things are designed to keep us hooked, they lure us in with the pretense of "helping us" but it doesn't take long for that to flip over unless we stay in control and that takes a lot of hard effort and work as we're up against very strong and powerful forces.
Our personal integrity and ownership has to be so strong, we need those rules to be the responsible one or the ease of convenience will erode it if we let our guard down and its a slippery slope, downwards.
Just a statement but a very powerful poignant one which sums up the modern world perfectly.
Struck a chord with me, what about you? Thoughts?
I was so impressed when I heard Courtney on her first podcast with Dr Chattergee a few months back I preordered her book and its my current book of choice for growing my mind everyday. I have it on my kitchen table and read a chapter in the mornings in my quiet time.
A fantasic read - Walk, your life depends on it.
