Many of us constantly find ourselves wondering, why we couldn't be perfect like all those around us? Why is it that we always lag behind in the things that really matter? and simply that, why did God make us this way? Was it to punish us for something we did in our past life?
But just consider for a moment that maybe the world is not out to get you, rather it's you who has an attitude problem, a constant need to compare yourself with your peers, find your faults and become jealous.
We don't always admire ourselves for the qualities we have and repeatedly struggle with the fact that we are not good enough. Why does other people's opinion hold so much importance to us that we are forced to reconsider our choices. Even if we think we look good then why is it necessary to hear it from someone else? Why is our own confirmation not enough?
We can't help but wish there was someone who would feel the same way about us. We yearn for a little recognition, a little appreciation...but this never ending desire for validation is exhausting...it leaves us vulnerable...at the mercy of people we may not even like.
When will we stop putting other people down to make ourselves feel a little less worthless. It's imperative to understand that valuing their talent won't rob us of our own...rather it is self worth which holds the key to free us from the restrains we have let this world enclose us within...the perception of this world about us is merely their point of view...but the only opinion that matters is our own.
At the end of the day, you have to accept that there will always be someone more focused, more beautiful, more smart and more humane than you but that's no reason to doubt yourself and give away things that make you, YOU.
