Ghost writer.

Do you know what a ghost writer is?
I had once learned about it in school I'm sure but long forgotten the term until I watched a documentary recently.
It’s someone who writes a story that will be published under another person’s name. 
For example, Johnny is a famous author but has writer's block. Johnny's publisher knows June can write very well and loves Johnny's style of writing. Johnny's publisher then hires June to write a book that will be published under Johnny's name - with June never receiving any credit for the work.
It's an interesting concept and in my opinion, very applicable to every day life actually.

How much of what you say and think every day is determined or influenced by the world around you?
Do you check Facebook and see that someone posted a beautiful lunch and feel you need to go out to dinner to do the same thing?
Do you see a tweet about a book then go read that book because someone famous did?

Who's writing your story?
You, or the powers that be who influence via social media and whatever means possible?

Don't let anyone else write your story. Don't give them the power to determine if you had a good day or a bad day based on what the scale says or how many likes your photo received.

Focus on you and learning all that you are. Spread joy and do good. Seek out opportunities to pour love into another person's soul. Your mental health will thank you for determining your own happiness and not letting another person determine it for you.
