Change What You Desire, Accept What You Can’t Change

There are many little treatments and schools of thinking that can culminate into full confusion for someone who has beauty or self-confidence as a priority. There are some who feel that you shouldn’t ever change your perceived flaws, because the reliability of your own opinion may not always be accurate. For example, we see those with eating disorders often feel they are too large to be acceptable, despite having trouble eating anything for months. This is quite clearly a saddening affair, and never something to celebrate. However, if we feel that we dislike the shape of our nose, or the angle of our chin, or sometimes the extra skin we have from losing a large amount of weight – should we feel so bad about wanting to change this?

This can get quite confusing if you think it through in a complex manner, but getting to the heart of your needs and wants is essential when considering changing your appearance. To that we would offer a simple philosophy to help you through this – change what you desire, accept what you can’t change. Let us see how this can come into fruition in the best manner possible:

Change What You Desire

There are many who look down upon those who get corrective surgery, or wish to feel more confident by improving certain assets, or by getting rid of a perceived flaw. This is because we see celebrities who completely change their faces in an effort to preserve youth, or those for whom surgery becomes an addiction. But we do not feel the same way about someone who dyes their hair, or has a mole removed, or wishes to cover up certain stretch or birthmarks. So why should we feel bad about ourselves if we wish to have small corrective work done, such as digital smile design procedures to get that glorious, warm smile we have always wanted? Sometimes, expressing yourself more healthily can be achieved through these methods. In some cases, such as removing gynecomastia in young men, it can make all the difference in the world.

Accept What You Can’t Change

Accepting ourselves as a baseline consideration will always be appropriate, and worth keeping hold of. It might be that you do have that mole, or that birthmark that is hard to cover, or perhaps you have a lazy eye. Sometimes, instead of worrying about this throughout our entire lives, accepting what we can’t change is important. Sometimes, your perceived weaknesses are actually strengths. If you can achieve that, then you are sure to accept what you can’t change more thoroughly.

Develop Self-Love Habits

It’s not all about your image. It’s about who you are as a person, what you have learned, and the love you have to give. You needn’t be the most attractive person in the world, nor the most perfect. It sounds cliche, but it truly does matter what is inside. When you think alongside these lines, aging, physical flaws or imperfections will not affect you nearly as much.

With this advice, we hope you can change what you desire, and accept what you can’t change.
