Rather than pick yourself apart, consider finding ways to accept your looks. Whether it's your weight or age or anything else, if you can't accept yourself, you will always find something wrong no matter how many changes you make.
If you feel insecure about your appearance, it can be a vicious cycle to get into. The result is almost always negative.

A vision is an inspired idea. They give you a sense of purpose, a direction, a target to aim for, and an inspiration to live for.
A clear vision motivates you and pushes you into action. You know when a vision hits you, by the energy and excitement you feel. Use the energy it inspires to create a plan and make it a reality. There are those who are unwilling to find closure or let go of an old romantic hurt. They feel heartbroken, abused or at rock bottom. They put all their hopes and trust into a relationship. They are entwined in a spider’s web of past disappointments. Regret and dejection follow them like a dark cloud and act as a heavy shroud preventing them from the happiness they ought to have.
The PAST holds you in a mortal grip. Emotions left over from an earlier time are at the heart of grief. Please don't keep throwing yourself to the wolves in order to prove yourself, or your love. If it isn't working for you anymore, move on, or make a clean sweep of it, rather than hurting or incriminating yourself out of fear. You need a guide through this turbulent time. You need to recognize, you are grasping onto the past, and have to be freed of its grasp. There can be no harmony without first resolving this crucial issue. You may never experience inner peace until these issues are resolved. Go out with dignity or make the inevitable changes on your own terms. You might actually feel relieved, in control and liberated. While this may be the end of one era, it can be the beginning of another, as long as you let go of the painful past. It is essential that you replace the power the past has upon your soul with positive energy! Lay a disappointing past to rest and free yourself to move on. Don't be a captive and miss out on the wonderful future. Don’t let the past hold your future hostage. Life is full of choices and decisions. Who makes the decisions for you, if you choose not to make it yourself? Do you have someone you trust to make decisions for you?
Sometimes, we take it for granted that we are not entitled to make decisions about our own future. We leave it to others to tell us what to do. Even well-meaning people can put seeds of doubt in our minds and make wrong choices and decisions for us. If we can’t make our preferences known through our own choices and decisions, how can we make sure that our wishes are respected? The bottom line is we should not take it lightly, when it comes to allowing others to make choices and decisions for us. We get to decide if, they take root or not. As competent adults, we have the fundamental right to control decisions about our own wellbeing and future. We have the right to make voluntary choices and decisions to accept or refuse important consequences for our future. The day you take complete responsibility for yourself, your choices and decisions is the day; you start a journey toward personal fulfillment. Accepting responsibility without excuses, frees your power to achieve. Life is what you make of it. Don't let someone's discouragement and decisions keep you from pursuing your dreams and living your own life. You are the only one that lives your life. One of the hardest lessons in life is letting go. Whether, its love, loss, guilt, anger or betrayal, letting go is never easy. The pain associated with disloyalty, hurt and disappointment can be overwhelming at times. We fight to hold on and we fight to let go. It hurt in both ways.
Sometimes, there is no darker place than our own thoughts. If we are constantly battling with our emotions and ignoring feelings we do not want to feel, our growth becomes stagnant. Our suppressed emotions do not simply disappear but create stress because our emotions hold the keys to our personal beliefs. We cannot work on changes, we do not consciously recognize. Change is never easy. Letting go is never easy. We ask ourselves, if only, we could see the endless string of consequences that results from small actions to make the change that is well needed. It is a fact that familiarity equates with security. It is difficult contemplating new terrain or departing from the familiar. Only in careful awareness and conscious reflection will errors of thought reveal themselves, so we can address them through acceptance. A pathway to change opens up through awareness and acceptance. When we begin to open ourselves up to a new experience, a new reality the unveiling of ourselves can produce powerful feelings of change. There is always capacity to expand our perceptivity and degree of awareness and to act in more self and other advantaging ways. You may not see it today or tomorrow, but when you look back in a few years, you are likely to be absolutely perplexed by how every little thing added up. How long do we keep people away from us, who are sincerely reaching out after they have hurt us? They regret hurting you and want to get back in your life. It is a challenging question.
During a separation, it often makes us examine the magnitude of the hurt and how open or closed our heart is. Every answer has the potential to be different because every situation is different. We must be honest with our thoughts and feelings. There will be things we passed on that we wished we took on. Realize the value of a day and use it to the best of who we are. |
