Who are you really?
One reason why life feels out of balance
Maybe life feels like it’s out of balance sometimes because you’re expending way too much energy trying to be someone you’re not.
Brad Paisley gets it just right in this video. With the soaring popularity of social networking sites like MySpace and Facebook, people now have the ability to virtually re-create themselves in whatever fashion they want. Unless of course someone posts a group photo that shows you in a less than flattering light.
A recent survey by jossip.com suggests that one in five people make up stuff on their Facebook interest pages just to sound more sophisticated.
And we all know it won’t be long before we start receiving those dreaded Christmas letters in which people share their “amazing” life from the past year. They just happen to leave out all the stuff than sounds too normal or routine.
Making real not virtual changes
Perhaps if we weren’t so worried about what the other guy thinks, and were more okay with the way we are, we’d have a lot more time to make some of the changes we think we want.
Ok I agree Brad Paisley is a cutie, but I wouldn’t write off Jason Alexander either. Most women say they want a man with a sense of humour.
Or wait…is that just something they write on their Facebook profiles?
“Ok I agree Brad Paisley is a cutie, but I wouldn’t write off Jason Alexander either. Most women say they want a man with a sense of humour.”
This sounds like a classic comment about not being able to have your cake and eat it too. What’s the point of having cake if you can’t eat it. Continue the search for the man (metaphorically) who is both good looking AND has a sense of humour. Life isn’t always about compromise!

Did that video ever bring back some memories from 35 yrs. ago when I obviously had quite the imagination. I wasn’t just the screaming fan, I fanasized that I was the girlfriend who was chosen out of the millions of possibilities (come on, I wasn’t the only one with this unrealistic vision). Feeling very awkward as a teen, my imaginary life filled a void. Maturity and eventually finding my true soulmate, put reality in a much better light than the imaginary.
