sibling rivalry!

I know it is wrong, but I do tend to use my siblings as my yardstick for my accomplishments. I do not envy them in a negative way. On the other hand, their accomplishments motivate me to strive harder and set bigger goals for myself. I do love my siblings. They are very important to me as they give me emotional support. There was really a time when I thought I was lagging behind my brothers and sisters in terms of financial status, career opportunities and travel exposure. But then, I realized it was not healthy that I would almost become envious of them, and so I taught myself to be content with what I have, and appreciate my sisters and brothers some more. After all, they are my family. I tell myself that I am blessed.

Competition is inevitable. As long as its healthy, its ok! As long as you dont hurt each other..

i can honestly say that that isn't or has never been the situation between me and my brothers and sisters but then I am the baby of my family by a good 10 years so maybe that is why! xx
