My sister is prettier than I. My brother is smarter than I. My sister gets to stay out later on dates than I do. My brother gets to go with Dad more. We all compare ourselves with others, especially with those closest to us. How come my hair is thin and my sisters is thick? How come my brother is so good in sports, and I can't even catch a ball? These are all normal questions. Many times it seems that our sibling got a better deal in life than we did. But look closer. Look beneath the surface. Your sister may be prettier than you, but you may be more creative than she. Your brother may be great in sports, but doesn’t he always come to you for help with homework? We all have our weak points and our strong points. Be proud of your strong points and work on your weak ones.
Why compare yourself to someone who has the same parents as you, someone who shares your hard times and celebrates your good times? Your sibling is a part of yourself. Instead of comparing yourself with your sibling, why not help each other with weak points? Why not find something you enjoy doing together. Life is too short to compare yourself with your own flesh and blood.
