Do you suffer from OLOL (On Line Over Load) ?

Take the "Exit Your Brain and Discover Your Heart" icon (to the right) and place (cut & paste) it onto your website. Link it to this page http://www.brokenearth.org/exithead or a similar page of your own design. You may also cut and paste the html code provided below.

Most of us have fallen victim to the consumerism trap and have forgotten what really matters. Life has become an illusion - an endless pursuit of material things. None of which will ever benefit your spiritual being. We have become both spiritual and in many cases physical couch potatoes.

The time stolen from our lives by television, the Internet and other forms of distractions all amounting, for the most part, to a wasted unproductive life is destroying us all, destroying families, destroying communities and destroying humanity. 

Get the ExitHead icon below   Stamp Out OLOL!

We are most happy when we are living simple, productive and natural lives. We need to find out what is really important and beneficial to our lives. A bigger house, faster car or more important title is not the answer. Chasing an identity is not the answer - truly discovering and knowing yourself is the key. As long as you are distracted by so many things in your life - no time to be still - you will never discover the real you.

So . . . . .

Take a break, develop a real exit strategy away from these many technology traps that keep you wasting your time and continually avoiding a type of lifestyle that will truly benefit you.
