I am constantly confronted by images in the media that tell me to look left, to look right, to look like someone else. I am guilty of it myself, I seek to be more attractive. I hope that if I just make myself a little more toned, then that one girl who I want to get attention from might actually look twice.
I think in the back of my head, that when I am on stage people must think I am awkward looking. I mean at my age should I be worried about that? Should I or you be thinking about what others think of us? The answer is yes and no… yes if it is your attitude or the way to carry yourself. What you say and do is far more of a measuring stick then how you look. No, if it is the shell. In fact, many of the images that we see of “beautiful” people aren’t even the people we think we are looking at.
One of my dear friends SuLa brought my attention to a video about Dove’s “Campaign for Real Beauty”. It is incredible… truly an amazing and at the same time, upsetting video about the unrealistic expectations that we put on ourselves and others to be “beautiful”.
If there is one thing I know, true beauty, as cheesy as it sounds, comes from the inside. The more we try and make ourselves into something we are not, the harder it will become to reach those false expectations.
Was Ghandi or Terry Fox not beautiful? I would rather have ten thousand of the “regular” people that I meet in schools every day then one Brad or Angelina! Here is a sad statement… we spend more time reading the tabloids then we spend reading to our children. What is more important to you… your children, yourself, your family or some fake expectation of what “true” beauty is?

Someone asked me a question the other day.
They wanted to know why this blog’s called the “Does it Work?” Diary.
It seems that they were expecting something about achieving dreams, being yourself to the max, reaching for the stars etc.The normal kinds of things people associate with personal development.
Nothing wrong with any of those ideas (and I often use them myself).
But the plain old vanilla-flavoured “Does it Work?” is much more powerful…
Here’s why
If you notice that there’s something you keep doing, and are not sure about, ask yourself, “Does it work?” and see how that affects your next move.
Think of something about which you’re curious, but sceptical, and ask yourself, “Does it work?.” Be aware of how that keeps the door open to new ideas, without taking away the critical faculties and sense of perspective that can keep you afloat in the modern world.
And finally, ask of actions that maybe you’re taking as part of a group, a family, an organisation, a nation, a continent, a world…”Does it work?”
