Out of my League

I've never really felt intimidating or intimidated by anyone to the point where relating with them becomes a problem. At least not in that sense, and none that I can remember. Yet I do know that as we age we do tend to group ourselves into some form of social strata that ultimately influences our actions all the way from our very own esteem to who we choose to relate with.

Of course I don't hold anything against our desire to seek out bonds with those we share similarities. What I do believe is that such bonds should be based primarily on interest above anything else. Our major connecting force should be interest and not other superficial factors. Of course it isn't like they don't matter, but placing our identities on things like assets and looks can be rather tricky because they are but temporary in a sense.

One thing I've learned from my current job is to be bold. I believe myself to be a rather timid person naturally and things like 'saying no', for instance, was really difficult. I've learned to overcome this along with an important lesson which is that most people or opportunities we may feel intimidated by are simply waiting for us to take action. I've got rather positive reactions from people who others may presume are unapproachable by virtue of their social standing, or aura.

There may be levels in life but none should feel out of place over the achievements of others. Being bold is a prequisite for those who want anything out of life.
