Mine's Bigger than Yours!


Ah, sibling rivalry! It seems impossible to avoid. My solution was to become extremely non-competitive, and tease people when they seem overly obsessed with winning. While this has had its successful moments I have to wonder if it has meant I haven't exactly striven to do my best! Even if the rivalry is not so close as the sibling variety it is difficult for me to know how best to respond. Another lie we are told as children -'Ignore it, and it will go away'. It doesn't often, and can suddenly rear its head from the shadows and bite you on the bum! All I can do is laugh at all concerned, myself included, and make myself absent from such situations. It is so important to have supportive, nourishing people in your life who take you for who you are and don't care about what you have or who you know!
