Escape the "Noise"

Find the pathway to "being heard"

"Noise” (social media, podcasts, blogs, TV, streaming radio) distracts us from our passions and, ultimately, doing what we love. This week, I had an “Unplanned Collaboration*” with a fellow tenant, and we were discussing “noise” and the impact it has on individuals. He brought up a great insight during our discussion and said, “Not only is Noise everywhere and distracting… but it keeps most people from finding their voice.” In short, “noise” drowns us out and keeps us disconnected from what moves us, inspires us and gives us energy and hope.

Think about it:

Do telemarketers really have a voice? Do people buy from them?

Do protestors really have a voice? Are people listening?

Do people who write books have a voice? Do people read them?

Do bloggers have a voice? Do people read the blogs or care?

Do podcasters have a voice? Do people listen?

For many, the protestors, the telemarketers, the books, blogs and podcasts are strictly “noise.” Yet, everyone wants their voice heard; they want to be seen and to make an impact. I write a weekly blog hoping to affect people’s life and not to be discarded in their inbox and part of their “noise.”
