I also think I have trouble accepting that I'm not a super genius with a huge IQ. However I often get so envious of others' gifted academic prowess. Is there a something in my way of thinking that needs to be changed? |
Yeah, I think so. Try to remember that your worth doesn't come from your intelligence, your looks, your talents, etc. If you've ever had a baby you'd understand - a baby can't do anything at all except cry, yet it is worthy to be loved. It doesn't have to do anything - babies are of great value; they just can't help it. So are adults. But society hands us a thousand judgments a day trying to get us to value ourselves for all the wrong reasons. It's an illusion, just like in the Matrix. So pull a Neo and see through the illusion.
