How many of these statements would you agree
with?
If you wake up in the morning and your bangs look
weird, your day is ruined.
A B- plus or A-minus on an exam in one of your better
subjects is upsetting.
It doesn't pay to try out for the school play because
chances are, they'll never pick you.
Sometimes your to do list is so long, it wakes you
up in the middle of the night.
If you worked a bit harder in school instead of
going out with your friends, your grades would be
better.
The movies and the mall are rewards for after your
schoolwork is done.
You're the first person to show up for basketball
practice most of the time.
You have lots to accomplish before you can feel
successful.It's embarrassing to talk about your achievements...they're
really no big deal.
If you agree with more than five of these statements,
read on! There's nothing wrong with setting high
standards for yourself. Most successful people do...
but if unless you're an all around superstar..the
most devoted daughter, most generous friend, best
student, top athlete, and excellent musician...with
awesome social skills, the coolest boots and a beautiful
complexion, you fall short of your expectations,
then you're dooming yourself to be disappointed.
Setting up unrealistic goals and unattainable finish
lines can make life (which is tough enough at the
best of times!) a ridiculously hard ordeal. For all
who are trying to be the best at everything all the
time, here are some phrases to embroider on your
pillow
Stop harping on past mistakes. The day you wore
two different shoes, the stupid thing you wrote in
that hot guy's yearbook, the basket you missed in
last year's basketball finals...file them away in
the experience file. If the memories of when you
failed minorly haunt you, you're wasting your time.
Use the moment as the topic of next semester's humorous
personal essay or take from it how not to make the
same error again. Move on.
It's really hard to be you. The competition today
on every level is much more intense than ever before.
No wonder you're scared of losing your edge. Your
mother never had it so rough. Give yourself credit
for your successes. You're handling keeping all those
balls in the air beautifully. Very few can do as
well.
