Look at the models on television and magazines and then at the mirror. Spot the difference?
Your cute smile is genuine.
That’s what you are supposed to look at and not how he or she looks in terms of physique and superficial beauty.

It is their business. It is a job. You don’t see a NASA scientist and feel bad that you are not one!
The model has to smile a plastic smile and pretend to like everyone. They are not supposed to grimace or even stop their ramp walk even when there is a wardrobe malfunction.
That’s their job description.
You are not in that business. You have something else to do. And you look and dress accordingly. If anything you can appreciate and critique the models on being what they are for the products they endorse and the performance they produce.
Do not imitate them and worst of all; don’t look down upon yourself in comparison to them.
That would be gross injustice to you.
And the idea of beauty itself…
Is a cute child beautiful or a perfect pedicure?
An amazing smile beautiful or a cosmetic-surgery inspired body beautiful?
A fit and healthy body beautiful or an anorexia-fueled pencil-thin figure beautiful?
Healthy is beautiful. Smiling personality is beautiful.
Body ages.
Soul doesn’t.
Trying to fight nature and going under the knife to wade off the wrinkles and extra flab is effectively stopping yourself from aging gracefully.
Every age brings with it, its own beauty.
Allow it to happen. Eat healthy, exercise and welcome the year next.
When in adolescence we want to age fast and when in mid age, we want to grow young.
The secret is that both can be achieved… In the mind.
