As heavily as we come down on beauty today we all strive hard enough to be part of the beautiful people. It’s Okay to want to look your best and to be part of the world that you resent. Why? You resent it mostly because it’s not something that you’re a part of. You would accept it if you felt you had a ticket in there.

Hollywood isn’t a real town. It is a town of face skin care that costs thousands and it is a town where night cream is purchased by the vat in secret. It is a town where celebrity fitness experts present fat loss solution ideas to 110 pound waifs for a mere $10, 000 per session. Is this really what you’re after?

We look at the beautiful women of the world and we know that we aren’t there because we have dirt under our nails from gardening with the kids or we have rugged nasty clothes on because we were out building our new boat. We have a different set of priorities and we should be fine with it.

We don’t have to look like a million bucks all the time. Sure, we all have things we want to change about ourselves, as do supermodels. Supermodels are just as insecure about their bodies and their imperfections as we are about ours. They just don’t show it because it’s part of the job not to.

Being beautiful comes in all shapes, sizes, and with all kinds of aspirations. Unless you want to join the supermodel ranks there is no reason why you have to be striving for perfect. Fix what you don’t like and embrace what you do like.

These are the things that beauty is really made of. It isn’t about the expensive hair appointments and the skin zapping. It’s about being someone genuine that others around you can feel. It’s about being honestly you in the moment.

It’s not such a competition among women. It’s a competition with yourself. When you stand next to someone bigger, uglier, with more zits, or that dresses worse than you it’s typical to feel a little better about your own flaws. Chances are she’s not judging you. You are judging you.
