While we are growing up people can judge is harshly and this can rub off on us, and then when older we can judge our own self harshly.
If you stand in front of the mirror and look at yourself ask yourself what you don’t like about what you see. What you don’t like it’s normally your unfair judgments of yourself.
Society today tends to encourage you to believe that you are not happy with your body, weight, skin colour, face, height, gender, hair, etc, etc.
The reason for this encouragement is that the country wants you to buy, buy, buy, and you cannot support the billion dollar vanity industry unless you feel that you don’t like how you look.
So it is only natural that the young people of today would very possibly have an inferiority complex of sorts. Young people today are worried about their looks and buying makeup and chasing fashion fads far younger than ever before. This is what brainwashing is all about. They are being groomed at younger ages to bring in money for the big companies to keep the industry in profit and to keep the boss and shareholders happy.
What we need to do is to wake up and realise that our quality is our heart and soul, not how we look on the outside.
Being presentable is nice, but going overboard is faking who we really are.
Accepting how you look is wisdom. Dressing tidy, clean, and respectfully shows that you respect yourself.
People are taught to scrutinize their skin, face, wrinkles etc, then to not like what they see and then to cover it over in unnatural chemicals etc. We are taught not to accept our weight, fitness etc.
The sooner we are able to view ourselves in the mirror without being disappointed, the sooner we will accept who we are.
It stands to reason that liking what we see in the mirror means that we are confident that we will be happy to live with that face and body for the rest of our lives.
Please think about this, and please think about how you view your own image. Get real, accept your body, your face etc. Please be less critical and more accepting of yourself.
All the best from
James M Sandbrook.
