I wanted to do a quick post about something I read today......
I ran across a Dove campaign today as I was online (see link below). This new ad encourages women to #ChooseBeautiful and I absolutely love it!! In the ad, women are faced with going through one of two doors. One is labeled "Average" and the other is labeled "Beautiful". Its crazy how many women walked through the door labeled average! The even crazier thing is, I do understand why they did it. When you think about it, how will feel about ourselves has a lot to do with how others feel about us. So when faced with choosing a door, our first thought seems to always lean towards what others will think.
There are also those who think negatively about themselves anyway, regardless of what others think. These negative thoughts come from low self esteem, body image issues, never being told they were beautiful growing up...... And they never really feel accepted or pretty. I have a daughter and I make sure she knows that she is beautiful and to never let anyone tell her different.
At this point in my life I am sure of which door I would choose. I would walk through that beautiful door with my head high and dare anyone to say anything. It wasn't always like that. There were often times in my life, I didn't feel good about myself. I would always rely on what others thought. I even let friends or relationships determine my self-worth. I didn't see how beautiful I was inside and out. Once I changed my attitude and thoughts about my self, then others could see and feel that "beautiful" energy radiate off me. No one can tell me any different! I AM BEAUTIFUL....... and so are you!! :)
