Dealing with low self-esteem
in Psychology ·
It’s pretty damn unfair how we don't all start from the same baseline. Some people are basically running the same race as everyone else, but they’re carrying a backpack full of bricks on their backs. You can’t just drop the pack, but you *can* choose not to spend the whole time looking over your shoulder, crying about how heavy it is. If your load is three times heavier than theirs, you’re going to end up three times stronger. And honestly, who do you think is the real badass at the finish line? The guy who crossed first, or the one who came in second while lugging around 65 pounds of extra weight? The crowd wouldn't even blink at the winner. Sometimes life throws us these absolute curveballs just so we end up being much better versions of ourselves than if we’d been born with a silver spoon in our mouths. Stay positive. Keep the faith.
