Even footing?

"Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance you must keep moving."
Albert Einstein

Balance. Not the kind where you see how long it takes for you to fall over, but the type that helps you determine equal value. A lot of things are usually balanced, otherwise they would go out of control. For example, a scale. If the scale was not balanced, you wouldn't know if one object weighs the same as another. 

Ever heard someone say that everyone is equal? That no-one is better than anyone else? You probably think that's rubbish. After all, you might not be as smart as everyone else, so how can you possibly be equal? It may be true that you aren't as smart as someone else. However, that doesn't mean you can't be someone's equal. Everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses. You may be unbelievably smart, but be completely crap at sport. You could be really fit, but have really poor social skills. Or, you could be a massive player, but not very smart. Everyone excels in different areas, you can't be good at everything.  Also, depending on your environment, everybody grows in a different way. You might hate yourself, and desperately want to change who you are, and your life that goes with it. But running away, changing your name, none of these things help. After all, you can't run away from yourself. 

Everything in your life will eventually balance out. It doesn't matter where you are now, or how your life is now. You should still work hard to achieve whatever you wish to do after leaving school. Even if you don't have a career already mapped out for yourself, there will still be places that you want to go to. Work towards those first. 

You can't create something out of nothing. To become smarter, you have to spend time and effort to study, the same goes to fitness, you have to work hard for it. You can't magically wish yourself to become smarter or stronger overnight, no matter how much you want it. You have to be willing to make sacrifices as well. 

What I'm trying to get at here, is that you are fine the way you are. You should never beat yourself up for thinking that you're inferior to anyone else. Instead, you should work hard, it all pays off in the end. 

Nothing is perfect, but they can be balanced.
