Striking the Right Attitude
 If
you take a look at any success story and grasp the one element of similarity
between them, you'll notice that virtually every self-made, successful person
has this one super-important object of success in their mind- a burning desire
to succeed. What counts is your frame of mind. Age, location, ethnic origin,
gender, or any other individuality have absolutely no part in your attitude to
become what you desire.
This is where you start.
Take Some Positive Steps:
Look in the mirror and pick out your best feature. If it's your eyes, then keep
those eyes in the back of your mind when someone criticizes your calves or
points out your pimples or braces.
Respect Yourself:
Unless you do, getting anyone else to is next to impossible. You need to put
yourself first in order to keep everything else in perspective.
Get Better Every Day:
 Plan
to do one thing that will help you improves physically, intellectually,
emotionally, even spiritually. Making just one change for the better will boost
your attitude from the inside out.
Like All Your Parts:
Make
friends with every part of your body and face. You can lose weight, you can
alter and conceal anything, but your uniqueness will take you through your life.
Accept it all, and then you can make the necessary changes to those areas that
you like less.
Little Things Add Up:
 It's
amazing, really.
The seemingly meaningless things you do for yourself may not
have immediate results, but after just a short period of time they'll have you
looking and feeling better. So add those bubbles to your bath, make sure you eat
your vegetables, and the results will be worth it.
Live A Beautiful Life:
There's saying that thoughts become things. There's another saying that you
wear your spirit on your face. Whether you buy into either philosophy, the more
beauty you integrate into your life, the more familiar it will feel.
Mirrors Don't Lie:
Catty acquaintances can. Well-meaning friends might out of kindness or fear of
hurting the friendship, but if you've got spinach in your teeth, your mirror
will point it out.
Just Go:
 If
you just can't get rid of that cowlick in your hair, that pimple on your nose,
or those extra three pounds from yesterday's buffet, just throw some gel in you
hair, conceal that pimple the best you can, and wear something that's not too
clingy.
Be An Observer:
When you see someone who just shouts confidence and beauty, write down what it
is about that person that made her stand out. Was it her walk? Her hair?
Although it's hard to nail down "polish," there are probably things that this
person does that are just a little bit different or better that makes her
special.
Rely On Your Inner Cheerleader:
When you think you can't possibly walk through that door or go out "looking like
that," let the person who knows you best, that inner best pal, walk with you.
Appreciate :
 To
get that attitude going the right way, you need to appreciate your face and body
for what it is.
It may be unrealistic to tell you to love it, but you certainly shouldn't hate
it. You definitely need to value what life has thrown you. That's easier said
than done in this society of model adulation and unrealistic standards.
