In a world completely thrashed with noise I find it interesting that we so often run towards more noise. When we go shopping we head to the mall. When we go on vacation we head to Vegas. When we want to eat out we find crowded, popular restaurants downtown. When we wish for entertainment we run towards television which spikes twenty minutes of commercials into our face for every hour of couch time.
If you watch 1 hour of television a day (stop lying, 5 maybe) then you watch 560 minutes of commercials a month. If you bought Netflix for $9 a month and streamed those shows you would save over nine hours. Next time you get on a plane and they ask, "would you like to upgrade to our flight that takes one hour less for $1", smile, shake your head no, and then stare at the back of that seat for an hour watching your life filch away.
Stop running towards the noise. Start searching, spending, working to get towards the quiet.
100% of this post was stolen from my fantastic wife Kelsey, come on Kelsey, lets escape the noise and get out of here soon.
