One thing I share in teaching sessions with teenagers is. "Everything you need is in you." I have been saying this for years but today it really hit home. We are conditioned to look outwardly for what we need.
We see things and begin to desire them, thinking they will satisfy us. But they don't. We try diets because the experts tell us they work and will give us the "perfect" look. We listen to the fashion experts tell us what we should want to look like. We live like a yo-yo going up and down according to the so-called experts telling us how to live the best life. The problem is, life is not supposed to be based on how someone believes you should live it is based on you living and making your own choices. Experts are not there to tell you what to do but rather guide you with their wisdom. Don't look for them to answer all your questions and make all your decisions. You are unique trust your heart and allow the advice of others to aid you not make you.
The crazy thing is makeovers are temporary. They illuminate your outward beauty but only you can discover the beauty that is inside of you. Experts don't have to live with you, but you do. Make decisions that you can live with. Make choices that you will be happy with. You don't have to live hiding behind your fears, your weight, your addictions, your relationships, your insecurities. You can choice today to push yourself like you never pushed yourself. Challenging yourself to find out what you beyond who you see in the mirror. You don't have to be who you been, you can change now. Everything you need to is inside of you.
