We Are Perfect

Summary

  • We are PERECT the way we are! It’s being said too much, but it has to be said. This means don’t try to become someone else. Sadly, this is what our society is constantly doing to us. Bombarding us repeated with how we ought to look, eat, vote, and whatever you can think of. Learn to develop your own opinion, and don’t be afraid to show yourself to others. Life is too short to let other people determine how you ought to walk [Sounds ridiculous]. Go at your own pace!
  • We are the most amazing when we show who we really are.
    • The people we admire are the fearless people not being afraid to show their vulnerabilities and weaknesses. When Mother Teresa went out there to love on people, there are probably people that took advantage of her kindness. However, she kept going even though she was hurt inside, because she knew her mission & who she is. We don’t have to be as great as Mother Teresa, but we can take the challenge to express just who we are. We are supposed to be different as people, so let’s appreciate our uniqueness.
    • Korean Beauty Pageant - Lots of girls with the same face due to plastic surgery and strive for societal beauty. I was pretty sad to see how the world educated these young women that you can only look certain way to be beautiful.
  • I want to see the real you.
    • Most of the time people hide behind a fancy car, muscular body, face of makeup, or their job that I can’t see who they really are. It’s not bad to have these things; however, if that is all I see when I talk to them, that’s a problem. I think we prefer to talk to people, and not people wearing masks. Being genuine and authentic is attractive. I think we all like to talk to people that are real and honest. However, somehow people have the idea that you can “trick” someone into liking you by having all these “successes”. It doesn’t work that way. We can detect the fakeness [I just created a word] from a mile away. So, just be you. I BELIEVE in you! The only requirement you need to do this is to be very honest with yourself. We are all on the same journey. I am still working on myself too.
    • Looks fade, but people will always remember how we made them feel. - Culture has always embraced beauty, but looks fade. Also, looks doesn’t make you a nice person. Being a nice person makes you a nice person [obviously]. Invest in your character, your generosity, not in just your looks. Abs and beauty won’t even last until your 40s, but your personality will. =D
    • Being you is more freeing, and you can develop traits that matter. - The good thing about being yourself is people will actually like you for you. Also, you have the freedom to cultivate skills that matter to you, and not doing things for the expectations of others.
    • By being genuine, you set an example for the next generation.
      • Kids will copy your freeness to be yourself! If you be yourself around them, you teach them to express their individuality courageously. You are their heroes!
  • At times, we are people of high potential doing not the wisest things.
    • We all seen celebrities and sports stars ruin their careers because of bad decisions. We are people of amazing potential, so let’s make decisions that help us become more of who we are, not how others want us to be.
    • It would be amazing to walk down the street and relax without having to worry about how others think about you. - Practice being yourself.
