Preoccupied and Missing Out
The Smith's are on vacation again... The Jones' have a new car... Sally got a new job...
Social media provides us scripted looks into so many other peoples lives. Do we spend the same amount of time pouring over our own lives? Not the feeling sorry for ourselves kind of pouring over it, but the investing and improving kind of time?
We can spend the time peering into perfectly constructed windows of peoples lives (or at least highly filtered windows) or we can spend our efforts and energy into improving our own lives and situations.
It's hard to do things in our own life when we're preoccupied with peering into the windows of everyone else's lives.
Peer if you want, but don't be preoccupied and miss what's going on in your own life.
