People don't see what you see when you look in the mirror. Most of us, when we look in the mirror, are looking for imperfections. For one thing, when we look in the mirror, what we see that is on the right side, is actually on the left side when others look at us. And, when others look at us, they are influenced by the total picture - not just the physical aspect but the influence of all the senses. This was proven to me years ago while in my twenties, working for a large company in Chicago. There was a young woman in our office who aggravated the $%#% out of everyone until finally after being fired twice, she was gone. No one thought of her as being particularly attractive and no one missed her. Then one day, as I was watching the weather news on TV, I saw a beautiful young woman who was the new weather girl. I admired her beauty but after several minutes, as I looked more closely, there was something familiar about her and I then realized with a shock that she was the same unattractive (to us), fired twice girl from our office who had been having an affair with the married weatherman! We had been influenced by all the negative aspects of this difficult person and could not see the physical beauty. It works in reverse as well. If you allow all the beautiful parts of what makes you unique to the world, people will respond positively to you. Those who may only look at whatever imperfections there are, are not worth your time.

Listen to what Christine says. She is one very beautiful lady!
