Why We Can’t Resist To Click and What The Notre Dame Fire Will Teach Us • Swipe and make sure you look at the images first! • Then… • Read these headlines below... • "$1 Billion Raised From Billionaire For Burned Building While One In Five French Go Hungry" • "Why Notre Dame Donations Are Provoking Hatred Towards Billionaires" • "Jesus Sighting in Notre Dame Flames Causes Uproar" • "Notre Dame Cathedral Fire: Jesus is Spotted While Cross and Altar Still Standing" • Which one would bait you to click on it? • As in which headline and which images would make you want to click on it and read more content? • Now, if you don’t know what clickbaiting is...let me explain it to you. • Clickbait involves any text or thumbnail image link that is designed to entice users to follow that link to read, view, or listen to the linked online content. • This is what advertisers and marketers do every day! • The point of this post is to help you understand the importance of understanding how our minds work. • You see, all of us operate in a world full of emotions and reactions. Why? Because we’re human, that’s why! • Meaning, we don't really see the world as it is, we simply view the world as we feel and think! • There is something called Confirmation Bias. This is a cognitive bias that helps our brain make decisions. The confirmation bias is favoring information that conforms to your existing beliefs and discounting evidence that does not confirm it. • So... • Let's say you're a miser or a person who detests money or people with money… you'll most likely go with clicking on the first and second headlines. • But let’s say you believe in Jesus, you'll most likely go with the last two headlines. • Which one would you have clicked on? And do you believe companies who sell you stuff will twist words/images to manipulate your hope, faith, trust, fear, and insecurities? Let me know in the comments. • -Jeff (at Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Paris) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bw4YhjcjTuv/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=193la7i6j4ryr

I struggle to maximize my every minute of my life... - Two things I struggle with... - 1. Waking up at the same time. I love to sleep but I have to tell myself to get up every morning. - 2. Small Talk/Complainer Talk - Worst ones Is “I can’t do this because of my kids”... - As a parent now I do get some of y’all use your kid as the excuse to get out shit. Because you don’t want to have that tough conversation or make someone feel bad. I’m not ok with that. If you can’t have the tough conversation you’re a ______(see 4:45Am Alarm for the missing word in the blank) - Talk about a selfish, irresponsible, and terrible thing to say as a parent. You’re blaming your kid for your lack of creativity and resourcefulness. - Others have said I need to “live in the moment Jeff” but some stuff is truly pointless talking. Am I the only one that thinks this?!? Maybe I’m still immature or naive 🤷🏻♂️ https://www.instagram.com/p/BveHEZRFiBn/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=z2r22ek3hxdi
