How Can TikTok’s Amazing Strength Make The World Better? 🧐😉

TikTok is out there and it is extremely powerful and influential.

Short videos offer a great key to people’s brains.

Using TikTok you can alter emotions, influence ideas, and spread visions.

As Christina says in her article, TikTok Gains 8 New Users Every Second and it is bigger than Instagram by downloads.

People use it for influence, for vanity, and for gaining acceptance from others.

The question is how can “we” use it? “We” that want to make the world a bit better for our children? “We” that don't care about vanity and acceptance, but care about love, self-growth, and human connections?

I feel like the “force” is there, “we” just need to reach out, grab it and wield it. I feel that if “we” don’t do that, then others will, and the outcome will be bad. That outcome is the one that we actually see: people are dependent on their phones not learning anything and letting their brains turn to jam.

But if enough people, that want to influence others in a better way, want it enough, using powerful tools like TikTok, can reach a lot of souls. Can bring a lot more light into the world.

Current attitude

I heard a lot of people complaining about TikTok. Especially parents. How it dumbs their children, how it eats their time, how it consumes the souls of users.

And I understand that. It has the potential to do that. Hell, it could actually do that, yes.

But …. and there is a big BUT here 😉. Any good tool has that potential. Facebook, Twitter, Youtube, Instagram. They all are tools that have the potential to crush one’s brain.

At the same time, my son learned English, Physics, History, and facts about the universe from Youtube. At 6 years he knew how a black hole is created, why Venus is the hottest planet in the Solar System, and what a photon is. All that is from Youtube. And all that because I used Youtube as a tool.

People learn new skills using these tools. Connection is easier and distances are almost no more, due to these tools.

The way they are used is up to us.

New attitude

I propose a new attitude! An attitude that requires taking action and stopping complaining.

We don’t like how these tools are used, and how they influence the world around us? Then, let’s take action and use them how we want them to be used. Let’s use these tools so that we can influence the world around us in the way we want to.

We can stop complaining about how “they” brake the world using TikTok and Facebook and Youtube and Instagram.

We can start using these tools so that “we” fix and improve the world using TikTok and Facebook and Youtube and Instagram.

How?

I see two ways to do that.

1. Use the platforms to learn and show your kids how to learn from them.

The platforms are filled with awesome content. Channels, pages, and influencers that share information, good vibes, love, and knowledge. Seek them out and watch them yourself.

Watch them with your kids. This is important. Watch them WITH YOUR KIDS.

Kids do what you do, not what you tell them to do. you watch history on Youtube, they will watch history on Youtube. You watch cats on Instagram, they will watch cats on Instagram. Show them that watching that will offer them time spent with their parent and they will watch it.

2. Join the communities and make content

Another way is to actually contribute to the good content community. Share your ideas, and make the world a better place by putting your love and knowledge out there. There will be someone that would use it.

Stop complaining and be the change you want to see on these platforms.

Use them as the tools they are to reach the hearts of everyone and brighten their days.

It isn’t easy!

I know that! I know it on my own skin. I don’t have a Tiktok account, and I am pushing myself to start a Youtube one for months now.

What is awesome about TikTok is that it is easy to do it. To create a 10-minute video on Youtube you need a lot of skill and time. For 15 seconds on TikTok you need a few minutes.

I know that what keeps me from starting is my own judgment of myself and my own fear of failure and disappointment.

While I am fighting my fear and own idea about myself, there are a lot of you out there that have more strength and power and self-love to do this. And I encourage you to do it.

Start your account. Start making videos about how great life is, about how awesome everyone is, about how everyone has the right to be loved and to love, about how everyone deserves to be anything, and how they can be anything.

You have the power! Use it!

Spread the love!

Spread the joy!
