I'm the type of person that likes doing the best they can at everything I do. Whether it's something I have never done before or something that I d every single day I need to do my best. I guess it's just something personal but I know there are other people like me out there. This is for you. :)
When I can't get something right I get really frustrated with myself. I think one of my worst pet peeves is not being able to do something I want to. This usually happens to me during soccer practice r when I am practicing yoga at home. I can't run fast enough or I didn't hit the ball quite right or I fell while doing headstand. There are things that I can't do right. At least not yet. This is the part where I need to have patience with myself. And that's the thing: I really don't have patience with myself.
Throughout the years I have learned that it's ok not to be go at something that you want to be good at. One of my friends beats herself a lot if she can't do something right and this just causes her to be upset and self-conscious of very simple things that we shouldn't be upset over. I just think that we cannot waste our emotions over some things that don't deserve our tears. As much as want to be good at calculus, I'm not really. Last semester I passed with a 76. As much as I want to be good in AP English my grade will never go higher than a 95. As much as I want my GPA to be a 4.00 it's always going to be a 3.8.
And it's ok. We all have to come to terms with our limits. We can try to accomplish something as much as we can but it is God who puts our limits.
I have another friend who I really good at everything. She works really hard to accomplish those things though. It doesn't matter how much I try, I'll never be as good as her in soccer. Here is when we can avoid jealousy. I don't need to be upset because of that. I know that each time I go to soccer practice I try my best and that has toe enough for me. Jealousy is a waste of emotions.
God created all of us for different reasons and with different talents. We are not going to be good at all the things we want to be good at because God didn't make us like that. And that's ok. We will all find something we are good at.
