How do you see yourself?
I found these videos today on one of my favorite sites, iamsecond.com and had to repost. As I watched the evolution video I was amazed a how we are constantly duped into this false impression of what beauty really is. Not only do we have the media pumping ad that set in motion this false sense of external beauty, but in most cases we don’t even bother to look at what’s on the inside. God sees us as His children, each uniquely and wonderfully made in His image.
This is an amazing glimpse into the world of marketing.
Here is the story of one woman who lived a good portion of her life buying into the lie.

Women (and young girls) are not the only ones who buy into the lie… men also dream of the “perfect woman” since they are more “visual”. While these models ARE very beautiful, they’re not “real” and men can wind up being just as disappointed in what they have as we women are that we’re not. It’s a horrible amount of pressure as beauty… the outside… is ALWAYS changing. We are aging from the moment we’re born…
But I know you will always love me
