Pssst...We're All in the Same League

You've heard the expression "She's out of my league", right? Think about when and why we say that or something similar. We perceive other people to be more or less attractive than ourselves, and we tend to measure all sorts of other qualities against our own. While it's true that someone might be judged as extremely attractive by a majority of people, and while it may be true that some people are more intelligent, more talented, more popular, or more XYZ than you, that doesn't have to diminish your worthiness. These "league" divisions are completely imaginary, made-up concepts that humans have created. Don't let yourself be fooled by the notion that someone is out of your league just because you think so. It's possible that the person you have your eye on is really hoping that you'll ask him/her out. It's also possible that this person thinks you are more attractive, engaging, smart, charming, or fill-in-the-blank than he/she is! Ignore those invented boundaries and realize that you can consider yourself on an even plane with anyone else. It's just a matter of perception!
