Did you enter the "Cuteness Competition?"
Our purpose in this life is not to win at "cuteness" and yet that is all we seem to talk about.
"Oh your outfit is so cute!"
"I love your new hair color. It is so cute!"
"Those shoes are just absolutely too cute!!!"
This is what most people (okay probably more on the girls side of things) say and hear all day. We are all just reinforcing to each other and ourselves the importance of "cuteness," which is NOT important!
When is the last time you got a compliment of substance. A compliment that had more to do with you, than anything on the surface...
More importantly when is the last time you gave someone a really genuine compliment. A compliment about why you actually love that person.
Superficial compliments are way easier. They are obvious and give you something to say, and you don't even have to love the person you are giving it to, they just make you "seem nice." Rather than just "seeming nice," challenge yourself to actually love that person and you will feel more loved in return. Come up with something original. You are smart and can think of something of substance if you concentrate.
You have an important purpose in this life and you need to concentrate your thoughts on figuring that out in order to achieve it. Stressing about "cuteness" is wasting your time! It's just a distraction, that seems harmless, but holds you back and puts a wedge between you and others.
Fill your brain with thoughts about what you can do, instead of how you look. Doing Great things is what makes people happy. I have talked to a lot of really "cute" people who are totally miserable. Trust me...looking cute doesn't solve any problems.
KNOW: Your purpose in this life is NOT to win at cuteness.
REPEAT: I am incredibly capable and I have an important purpose in this life. I spend my time thinking about that purpose and use my talents for good.
DO: Challenge yourself to give one person a real, truly genuine compliment every day...starting today.
