Look the way you want to look today. Become the person you want to be now. You can choose to see yourself as you want others to see you. Just do it!

There is so much truth to the statement; you are what you think you are. Your thoughts are powerful weapons. They can become your greatest asset if you learn to control them and not let them control you. Your thoughts produce positive or negative energy. We all see ourselves in a certain way. For many people it is undesirable. It can produce low self-esteem. We need to reverse that principle. Learn to see yourself as you want others to see you!

The mirror controls the lives of multitudes of people. It can make or brake our day; in fact, sometimes our entire lives. It is only a piece of polished glass that forms images by reflecting light. Yet it seems our entire personality depends on what we think we see when we gaze into it.

So often we gauge our attractiveness by the world's standards. We browse countless magazines and newspapers. We view pictures of the rich and famous. We think they truly look like that. We fail to consider the miraculous technology software of today that can take off excess pounds, erase wrinkles, shrink waists, elongate legs, and remove any and every visible flaw. Basically it can add to or take away whatever the situation requires to create an image of perfection.

If we were to meet these same people in real life, they would be hard to recognize. Have you ever stood in a grocery line and caught a glimpse of a tabloid picture of the rich and famous without their makeup? If you have then you know what I mean. No wonder they wear huge glasses and hats! If they didn't their flawless image would evaporate before our very eyes.

We are no different. When we prepare ourselves for a special occasion we look totally different and most likely 100% better than usual. What if we had countless makeup artists, hair dressers, personal trainers, manicurists, etc. at our disposal? That 100% advantage could rise to twice as much as it was before.

Life is more than looking at our reflection and reacting to it. Life is what you make it. You can choose to see yourself as you want others to see you.

The greatest thing about your mind is that you have the power to change its direction. If the thoughts that live there cause you to be depressed or unhappy, or take you down a path you don't want to go; then evict those negative squatters! They have no rights. You own the house they live in!

When you make the decision to see yourself as others see you, your life will change immediately. You will feel young and happy again. Why, because you have taken control of your destiny. Your self-confidence will be contagious. People around you will take note of it.

They will begin to look at you differently, because you are looking at yourself differently. They will notice a twinkle in your eye that they haven't seen before. They will probably think that you have fallen in love! You have. You have learned to love yourself, and see yourself as you want others to see you.
