175 Mark Shapiro: The Art of Authentic Connection

Mar 6, 2018

What can social media be? We can either waste time on our smartphones with social media or we can invest our time in social media. That's what my birthday experiment is about. It's about investing time in relationships and giving our time, energy, and love away to others. - Mark Shapiro

Power Quotes From The Show

 

"I think it's great to pick a date for when you're going to do something new with your life. Dates can be a huge guiding star for you if there's some big or small goal you want to obtain. The date that you do pick is only as important and real as you make it. If you mean it, you'll commit to that date. If not, you'll let it pass and that's okay." - Mark Shapiro

"When you get a flood of Facebook posts on your birthday, how many of those do you actually see? How many of them actually land and touch your heart? I'm guessing that you don't even notice the ones that simply say, "Happy Birthday," on them. A 15-second video goes against the norm; it's creative, personal and the results speak for themselves." - Mark Shapiro

"What drove me at the beginning of my journey was for me to become the best human being that I could be, but only for me and my personal fulfillment and joy. Today, that's still a big part of the equation, but serving others is also incredibly important. Serving others is what brings me joy and makes me feel like I'm here for a reason." - Mark Shapiro

"We are not all of our feelings. Perhaps we're feeling an emotion in the moment, but that doesn't need to define who we are. In reality, our feelings of anger and frustration are only temporary. It's okay to be angry from time to time; that's what makes you human." - Mark Shapiro

"Before you post something on social media, make sure you're being authentic to yourself and you don't have any outside motives for sharing it. Before you click "enter," ask yourself: Who are you posting this for? Is it for you or is it to impress someone else?"- Mark Shapiro
