Today i was thinking. And i realized something. I will never be as good an actress as my older sister, or as smart as my younger brother, or as popular as my little sister. So where do i fit in. Who am i. What am i. Im so confused.
This is something I struggle with to because growing up, I was always compared to my MOTHER and her accomplishments when she was a teenager.
What I have learned is that the only person I can truly compare myself to is ME. The only time I truly fail is when I don’t give something my all, not when I don’t meet the expectations of others.
Have you ever thought or considered that acting or grades or popularity (which we all know is a temporary thing) might not be where you are truly gifted? Do you have something else or do something else that makes you shine, something that comes naturally to you and that you feel a strong passion to pursue?
I encourage you to start out by making a list of your likes, dislikes, and hobbies. Identify some absolutes such as how much you hate to eat broccoli, yet love to go swimming. Create and establish facts about yourself. It is very easy to forget where we stand on issues that are important to us because no one ever seems to want our opinion when we are wanting to give it, yet that doesn’t mean what we are thinking lacks importance. Decide where you stand on things such your rules for dating and your rules for homework/ classes/ school, and how you best organize things, etc… Take some time to focus on YOU.
