You are an Epitome of Perfection

Was there ever a time, when you were just doing your stuff you regularly do, say eating lunch or just chatting, and somebody, a friend or officemate, just popped out a strong compliment like, “You have such a nice skin!” You were caught off guard, that what you’re doing was shortly interrupted and your mind was hanging up there in the air perplexed, “wa-wait, what did I exactly do wrong or right there? I was just eating”.

     Another situation: Had you ever been in an event with your friends and you gleefully had a group picture. When you and your friends saw the outcome, you noticed how beautiful your friend’s face was, who was seated next to you that you actually feel inferior but before you vocally burst out the “unfairness” of life, you heard the same friend broadcasting, “I am so big, and I am right beside you”. And your bubble thought went, “hmm, I don’t think she’s that fat.”

          You know those situations are perfect examples of how other people notices their flaws first and compare them with their “better neighbors”. As the saying goes, the “grass is greener on the other side of the fence”. Seeing things in that viewpoint, then all of us, as in EACH of us is an epitome of perfection. Really! You don’t believe me?

     Let’s take some good practical activity here. Look back from, say your high school years, and think of the good comments you got back then, like you had such a knock-out smile or you had pearl-white teeth or you’re a black beauty. Or when your crush guy/gal quipped, “you have the most beauteous eyes”. I mean, c’mon you know what a sincere message is to not.

     My point is there are times, if not most of the times, that we lost confidence in ourselves which causes us to have low self-esteem. We didn’t see the “goodness”, in this case physical, there is in us. That if we try to put ourselves into the shoes of your neighbors, only then you’ll realize the goodness in you. In effect, you’ll be less harsh to yourself and actually appreciate what you have in a magnified way. 

     C’mon, try to collect all those positive comments you got, may it be in your physique or your character, throughout your lifetime and pile them up. Just try to bask in them for quite a few seconds. I bet you’ll find yourself smiling. And you’ll thank me for coming up with this theory that “each of us, is an epitome of perfection”.  After all, we’re all God’s children and no two persons are the same. You’re only you in this one heck of vast universe.
