What Really Matters

it is SO easy to become envious of someone else's life. Reality shows are good for that!

Watching Daddy's Girls sometimes makes me want my own business. I don't even desire to be famous, just sometimes want the fabulous clothes or the perks that come along with making money like that.

But then I think about all the time I wasted wanting other people's lives. I don't even know what they deal with or how they got there. And even if I do, that doesn't mean it's for me!

Sometimes I get so caught up in wanting something that isnt meant for me that I forget what REALLY matters to me, and I forget how AWESOME I really am.

My father thinks I should start my own business, and maybe eventually I will. But honestly? I don't have ANY desire to do something for money...for the independence? yes. I can see myself doing PROJECTS, and things like that...but I can't think of anything that I'd want to start a business in, and CERTAINLY not by myself. I like being part of a team, and feeling like I'm making a difference.

I was sitting in church and really, just thinking all week about all that GOD has placed in me-and there's no reason why I should be IDLE! There's no reason to really be envious or want what someone else because I'm SO talented in my OWN RIGHT! God has blessed me with some gifts that I DEFINITELY have allowed to sit and collect dust...not cool! I'm sitting here wishing for what others have when I haven't even used what I have...crazy!

I know what TRULY matters to me, and that's making a difference. I'm looking at what i think my life could look like in 10 years, and it would maybe surprise some ppl. But oh well. I know what really matters.
