Focus on the Family

Yesterday I wrote a note to myself, stating that in this year and those that follow, I want to be into my life and the lives of my family members.

I found myself going on twitter and facebook numerous times a day reading what's happening in the lives of those I follow in my social network.Then I found myself searching the television to follow reality tv and found that I was always "Keeping up with the Kardashians" - yes I watch the show- and every other person that's up and coming. The other day it hit me that I look at these networks/programs because I'm expecting something to happen and the truth is people's lives are being lived and I'm watching it. In essence, for me nothing's happening! 

Is it that my life is boring? Maybe but the real truth is that I value these other people's lives instead of my own.

After a conversation with my mom, I've resolved that I need to focus on my family. We have a lot going on just like any other family and these things are worth my attention, my participation and my support.

My life is also very important and I need to start living it. It starts with valuing who I am and not comparing myself to others. Then embracing where I am in life and following the right path for me. Fear often deters me but I'm vowing to put fear in it's rightful place.

This year will be different.
