INSECURE PEOPLE

Sir,

There are people who believe they are not good enough. Such people will take other people’s photographs, be it on Facebook, Twitter, etc, and pretend to be who they are not.

There are numerous reasons why people do this; they believe they are too fat, ugly and not worthy. So long as one lives under pretences they cannot prosper. Make believe does not make anything better for truth always reveals itself. It is best to acknowledge who we are and where we are in life. Once we take responsibility we are in a position to change that which we dislike or believe is unacceptable.

If we ignore it and continue pretending, we simply maintain the status quo. We have to change our thoughts to change our lives; we have to come to the realisation that even the most beautiful women in the world, who have won one beauty pageant after another, often feel there is a part of them which is imperfect. This quest for ‘perfection’ can consume one and ultimately destroy one, if one fails to appreciate their uniqueness. Some people undergo plastic surgery resulting in numerous complications later in their lives.

Acceptance of self is vital for one to have a healthy and happy life. When we stop measuring our beauty according to other people’s standards and appreciate ourselves, we then have the enthusiasm and energy to create for ourselves the amazing life we truly deserve. Instead of spending time trying to con others, we should seek to find our true selves. If it is our weight that holds us back then it is time to change everything in our lifestyle. We have to start working out, eating healthy and moving more than we had been doing previously. Remember, insanity is doing the same thing in the same way and expecting a different result. 

Until such time as one embraces the whole of themselves others will continue to reject one.  That arises from the fact that we initiate everything in our lives by our thoughts. Recognise that a garden can only be beautiful with all types of flowers. Can you imagine if the world only had roses and no tulips, ferns, daisies, cacti, etc? This then ensures we realise that every single species in the universe has a purpose. Likewise you too have a purpose.

There is a reason why you were created different, for you have a different service to render in your own unique and special manner. You can become that exceptional person you have always dreamed of becoming without ‘pretending’ and burying the true you to such a degree that you feel lost and ugly. You are whole and that is all that matters.
