Hi BellyButton,

The truth is no one thinks about other people hardly at all. They are 99% of the time thinking about how they look themselves, what they have to do, where they have to go and who they have to see. Only if something is truly “off” (i.e. you have lettuce in your teeth) will they think of you. Or if you dress up beyond what everyone else is wearing.

But they won’t remember you for how you look. They’ll only remember you for how you make them feel! There are models no one cares about but they will care about the plain Jane who cares about them!

I’ve thrown out my scale. I’m not saying you should throw out your mirror, but have your hair and makeup be a routine, not an obsession. Same thing with food and clothes.

Looking good is so other people feel comfortable. But we are not here to decorate anyone’s world. We are here to do important things. And that is what you will be remembered for.

Blessings,

Inky
