3 Of The Worst Mirrors

In my blog post "5 Ways to Build Your Self-esteem Dream", I mention that you
should examine your face in the mirror. The purpose of this is so you'll realize
there's nothing wrong with your face, and that you look the way you should 
look.

This might sound petty, but I always look better in my mirrors at home. I felt
like I had to mention 3 of the worst mirrors to examine your face in.

#1 Your car mirror
     Although you're surrounded by plenty of natural light in the car; the design
     of the mirror must be skewed.

#2 Any clothing store mirror
     When it comes to clothing stores I'm going to blame it on the lighting. I'm
      not sure if that's it, but that's what I think.

#3 The doctor's office mirror
      Sure...go ahead and glance in the mirror, but leave the examining to the doctor.

I like this mirror. 

Bra Straps and Dirty Bras

When did showing your bra straps become a fashion statement?

There was a time when women didn't want their bra straps to be exposed, but I
guess that time has passed. Women used to purchase a t-back, racerback, or a
t-strap bra for those little tank tops and camis that the ladies are wearing. Hey--
not anymore-- some women don't hesitate to show the world what color bra they
have on.

When did showing your cleavage along with your dirty bra become a

fashion statement?

I have nothing against cleavage, but I don't care to see cleavage and the front of a
dirty stretched out bra. This year it seems to be an epidemic. Every time I'm out in
public, I see at least one woman with cleavage wearing a stretched out dirty bra.
Please... cover that ugly bra up!

The Person I Never Want to Be

I never want to be the person who...

* Tries clothes on in the fitting room and leaves them there... inside out.
* Honks my horn in front of someone's house, because I'm too lazy to get out of
   the car.
* Cusses up a storm for no reason at all.
* Brags about what I have.
* Abuses anyone physically or verbally.
* Borrows a lot of stuff to avoid buying it myself.
* Parks on the wrong side of the street.
* Can't be trusted.
* Is always looking for drama.
* Sends out negative vibes.
* Buys an outfit, wears it, and then returns it to the store the next day.
* Is cruel to people or animals.
* Doesn't say 'please' and 'thank you.'
* Takes anger out on an innocent person.
* Is always late.
* Spends money on cable if I can't afford it.
* Is unorganized.
* Puts people down.
* Is jealous.
* Throws trash on the ground.
* Never tries to improve and learn something new each day.

Negative T-shirts

I don't understand why some people wear negative t-shirts. Yesterday, I saw a
woman wearing a shirt that read "If you can't buy happiness steal it." I wondered...
How do you steal happiness? Do you steal items to be happy, or do you make
someone else unhappy as a way of stealing their happiness, therefore somehow
turning it into joy?

Wearing a negative t-shirt is like broadcasting to the world that you're a negative
person. I wonder why someone would wear a shirt that clearly tells everyone that
they're unhappy? I try to stay away from negative people, especially when it's
written all over his or her shirt.

Compliments List

Do you have a compliments list? This is a list of compliments that you have received.
I started my list to build my confidence up and it helped a lot. I use to read it over
and over again, until I got to the point where I finally didn't need my list anymore.
You should pay attention to the positive things that people tell you, and don't be
one of those people who says to themselves, "I know they're lying to me." When
someone gives you a compliment take it as the truth. Don't assume that it isn't true
and from the heart.

Plain and simple...write down every compliment that you get, and you'll build up
your self-esteem in no time.
