Dear Friends,

Far too often in my life I become dissatisfied. 

But the thing is that I take my life for granted.

And even more, I take for granted the power that each of us has to impact others' lives. 

Whenever Christmas rolls around, I always want to watch the movie called "It's a Wonderful Life".

It's in my top 10 movies (and I've watched a lot of movies so that just shows you how good it is). 

I watched it today, and started crying a little bit actually when George (the main character) realized how blessed his life actually was and how many people he helped just by showing some kindness and compassion. 

This year, I have a lot of things to work on, but I think that one of the most important things is to learn to find value in helping others. 

I can be self-centered, but it is now time to stop thinking about myself and start thinking about my neighbor. And by neighbor, I mean everyone else haha

Of course, I should keep trying to improve myself, but maybe by helping others instead, I can become a better person in the long run. 

Make sense?

So, this year, instead of feeling sorry for myself and being wimpy, I promise you all that I'm going to try- really try- to overcome my obstacles and become a selfless person.

Because then, I believe, I will become closer to who I am meant to be.
