Does 2nd best every get good enough? or third or fourth... just wondering.. cos it happens alot to me...
Never ever settle for second best. Not ever!
Learnt/learned (??? help, FB) that a long time ago.
Best thing is not to rank things...1st, 2nd, 3rd.
What is the best anyway? Even the winner of the Formula One Championship isn't necessarily the best!
Judge things on the basis of what gives you pleasure/satisfaction and then the whole world opens up to your values not the artificial 'best'.

furby!!!!

What's number 1 or 1st or the best for anyone is what makes them happy...
I know my place... never good enough

To come anywhere means your trying, if your trying your doing better than most no matter what it's for...

agree totally westerross, nicely worded x
I never claim to be more than third best, as this allows at least two other w*nkers to argue the toss, whilst I get on with the matter in hand.
That person who is better than you..... there are a lot more people better than them too.
Fortunately, there are usually only a rare few who are capable of appreciating your subtle but almost overwhelming wonderfullness that verges upon the godly... otherwise you be in grave danger of being trampled in the rush !!
hi Furby
Life doesnt always work out the way we may want it to and sometimes you may feel that you are getting the thin end of the wedge.
You are special. You are No.1 in your life and if anyone you have met so far hasnt treated you as such, then they are not the person for you.
May the year of 2008 bring you some fun, happiness and peace.
Best Wishes xxx
thankyou..
Your all right i know.. its me that is my worst enemy.. i am the one that feels im 2nd best, i see others, and i look at me .. and feel that there is no way i can compete so i dont.. i step back quietly and never say what i want.. for fear of rejection.... silly isnt it.... how do you get past that?? does there become a time when you do feel that you are good enough to stand up and say hey... look at me!...? cos in every other aspect of my life im a succsess, except that one bit.. i dont know how to change it.. so any advice would be great!!!
hugs an kisses ...xxxxxx

Hi Furby, just looked at your profile pics and you would definitely be my number 1. You are gorgeous and should be proud of it. You have no need to feel second best.
To much pressure put on people to be the first/best if you ask me.
Be what makes you happy.
Hi Furby,
I can so identify with what you wrote, however i've done a lot of work on what thoughts i have about myself. One question that helps is; how can i be 2nd best when i am as unique as i am? There are no others like me, i am a one off!!
The person who sees and loves my perfection with all it's imperfections is the right person to have in my life. The person who doesn't think you are 100% perfect, is not the one for you! Easy, simple, yet sometimes rather painful! Let them go, so that the space beside you is ready for the one who deserves to have you in their life!
When ever i have a thought that's less than complimentary, i have to stop it, and work on it, i wont allow it to take up residence within me, because it's just my incorrect view of myself.
It's not easy to think in those terms, and i hope my written words dont make me look like i am arogant, because nothing is further from the truth. But, it's sooo important to hold positive thoughts about yourself, because how can anyone else value you if you dont value yourself first?
You are never 2nd best.. how can you be, when you are as unique as you are?
with peace

I think that we all need a lack of confidence in one area of our life to remind us to be humble.
I like seconds, especially jam roly poly :-)
But seriously........i have a really annoying habit in measuring myself against my peers, and i always come in second or worst, its anooying self habit i wish i could break..lol Or maybe im just destined to be a minger for life....lmao
