The Internet is a small apartment stuffed full of teenagers in business suits trying to get our attention. They want you to start a free trial of this, half off your box of that, three months free of … you get the picture. It can be a headache. A damn headache.
The reason it’s a headache is because we know that at least some of the things being advertised are good, even good for us bus they can be annoying when they’re all smirking and winking at the same time.
The fact is that there are only two ways to get rid of the headache:
- Never open your computer or walk outside
- Become content
When you’re content, really content, the ads have no allure. When you are focused, fixed and devoted in one direction, other ads look silly but when ads are alluring, it’s a sign that you want something that you don’t have.
When you come across an ad like that, there are only two healthy ways to respond:
- Unsubscribe
- Take it seriously
Let me level with you. If these blog posts don’t speak to something on you, leave. If they do, we need to talk. Unless one of those two things happens, you’re going to perpetuate the headache that comes from being bombarded by ads.
