Are you Living or Living Vicariously?

With all of the reality shows, books, movies and sitcoms at our discretion it's easy to live vicariously through others; in fact at times it's a great escape from your own reality. There's nothing like looking at other people's issues to deflect your own lol, wrong but we've all done it on more than one occasion.

Contrarily, you can be so busy making a living that you forget or don't have time to make a life. The biggest challenge in life is finding the balance for things that matter. You may feel like you're juggling too much at one time, but if you don't pay attention something will fall. Make sure that your priorities are aligned so that nothing is left behind. And start doing things you love, if you don't you'll regret it.

Social media doesn't help either. I have a love hate relationship with social media lol. There are so many people that torture themselves daily comparing their lives to friends or strangers online; Comparing anything is destined for doom. Don't worry about anyone else's circumstances, focus on yourself and Just live.

If you have to choose between living vicariously through others or living, choose living. This may seem like a no-brainer to most, but a lot of people get caught up with facades and how things "appear" to be. As I said in a recent post, if you have to idolize someone choose yourself. Everything is not as it seems, live the best life you can and enjoy it, you don't want years to go by and you find you have nothing to show for it.

*** P.S. I apologize for not posting yesterday, especially on one of my favorite holidays :(; but unfortunately my Internet was out for majority of the day due to an outage in the area. Anyway I'm up and running again, hope you guys had a safe and fun Cinco de Mayo yesterday (if you celebrate it).
