PERFECT. Is this what
every woman wants to be? From childhood to adulthood, you're on a mental
journey where you're constantly getting messages and seeing images of how to be
just that. PERFECT. By perfect I mean the body of a model with no
blemishes; being skinny w/ long hair and a flat tummy. It is all what the world
would like to see, right? We get all types of signs whether it's on a
commercial or advertisements in magazines, where you can be a better looking
you.
But luckily we are in a generation where women
are kind of starting to enjoy the 'natural' them. So why is it still a struggle
to FULLY ACCEPT who God made you to
be??? I mean if you haven't notice, our God is very creative and not one
individual we see is alike. It's kind of amazing how beautiful the picture is
painted with many different shapes, sizes and colors. So why is the world
wanting us to look the same? Do you ever think of that? Why as a woman do I
have to worry about not eating certain things then feel guilty if I skip a
workout session?
It’s the mindset of trying to look
like the woman we see on the movies or that magazine. It’s subconsciously in
the back of our minds. The comparison may be unintentional but still in our
thought process if you’re NOT truly confident in yourself. Many women, as you can see on the media try to change things permanently to feel and ''look'' beautiful. Honestly in my opinion, they look more like a picked on projects, ready to fall apart. But hey, who am I to judge their choices to make them feel better about themselves.
My point for this topic is because
I struggle w/ comparing myself w/ other women sometimes who I think are
prettier, in shape or just seem to have their life in order. It’s not so much now, as I
am starting to accept my flaws and all. I had to accept the fact I am ME
and beautiful as I am . There may be things that I want to change
or tighten up but all I have to do is continue to take those baby steps. Nothing changes overnight. I have
to enjoy the journey and don’t stress myself about how far one woman is
compared to me. Everyone has to go crawl before they walk.
So if you’re a mother or a woman
who may be going through that season of comparison or not feeling like the best
you, take a look in the mirror. Remind yourself that you are unique and you are
beautiful just the way you are NO MATTER WHAT anybody says. If someone complains about how you look, just know they are unhappy with themselves. Remember God loves you. If you have to remind yourself of your beauty
and celebrate your imperfections, just look at your children. Children are
gifts from heaven, given to the chosen one’s to take care of them. So you must
be the perfect one right?
Celebrate your imperfections! It's okay not to be PERFECT.
