 Oh man! Oh man!!I bet you EVERYONE that reads this will tick at the least 5things they have said on that list!! me inclusive!
I am certain God sheds tears everyday when he listens to us talk to ourselves or each other like this!
it seems as though whats trending is Self-bashing! Many will agree with me that 'Thank you' just isnt cool enough as a response anymore...if someone walks up to you with a compliment, the first thing is to counter their compliment - I am such a culprit, I dont receive very well so I will forever find something good on you and compliment that as opposed to soaking in your compliment towards me.. here is a couple of scenarios:

1. You: you look so good
     Me: No, you do.. and your hair is amazing!

2. Another You: I like your Dress
    Me Again: This old thing, yours though.....

That is me a lot of the time, I cant stand compliments - I want them but they freak me out! I dont get it. But that's most of us. You think you receive compliments well but you really dont. Its either you soak it in too much (conceited) or you don't soak it in at all (weirdly insecure).
Right now you may think you are not insecure because you hit the gym one too many times, you have the perfect butt, your hair is amazing but i bet you something about you (according to you) is amiss. This is just sad!



To be honest, all our complaints are pretty much things we can change, and those we cant, we embrace because thats what makes YOU! ME!! Unique and wonderfully crafted!! like your HEIGHT!!! (Note to Self!lol)..

Solutions to your Problems are as follows:

I am too tall -
....... you'd make an awesome Model
I am too short -
........Wear heels if that's what you need but your height is perfect
My hair is too soft -
 .......research on how to get it a little more textured but no one hates u because of that
Mine is too Hard -
 .........moisturize, condition, steam.....
My Legs are too big - Mine are too skinny.......and I bet they are beautiful
I am too fat - 
........THE FAVORITE!! you know the solution is for you to put that chocolate bar down and start eating healthier, join a gym! don't be lazy!! its all achievable
 I am too skinny -
 ........Your metabolism is probably high meaning you burn what you eat quick, if you want to gain some weight, eat regularly and a lot of proteins I think.
I eat like a pig - I don't eat at all - 
..............Food is meant to keep you going not comfort you when depressed. its not your friend like that. and If you don't eat, how do you expect to survive?
You are beautiful - No im not, she is!! -
 ..............Yes she is, and so are YOU!
My Stomach has a stomach of its own -
 ..................... hahaha, now that's just funny #Exercise #Gym #Bootcamp #HealthyEating
My stretch marks - My Scars - 
..........................Scars are beautiful, they form this mini identity of you. Stretch marks however can be dealt with - try bio-oil. and some scars can fade too.
My fingers are too long - Mine are too short - 
...........and God meant for them to look just like that!
My teeth are too stained - My teeth are a maze -
.................Stained teeth can be whitened! If they are a Maze though, TRUST ME, someone is falling in love with that!
I wish i had a gap between my teeth - My gap is too wide -
 .......................its genetic, its part of you.. but if it is ridiculously side, braces can fix that however, its still beautiful. You wish you had a gap. That's a tough one, Black tape maybe!!
My eyes are too big - Mine are too small -
 .................Too big?? i say beautiful! Too small?? (story of my life) I say exotic!
My ears are too small -
...........But do you hear perfect?? (if the answer is yes then we have no problem)
My Nose is too wide -
 ...............Welcome, You are an African!
My Butt is too big - mine is too small-
 ..............Too Big?? you can either work out to get it trim or embrace your curves! Too small??? Squats work wonders!
My eyebrows dont grow as desired - No really, they dont! -
 ..........Fake them and fake them good!!
My skin is too bright - My skin is too dark - 
Too Bright? Tan, atleast its temporal! Too Dark??? I cant say Bleach because Dark is beautiful but its your choice entirely.
I hate my boobs -
 ..................With the right bra though.......
I love your body - 
..................THANK YOU!! #NuffSaid
I wish i had those arms -
 .......................whats wrong with yours? (dont think i want to hear the response to that!) well, work them out, they will be nice and toned
I wish my hair was as long as *insert* - 
..............Take great care and begin to grow it!
I wish I was HER!!!!! - 
..............................No you dont! you are YOU because God wants it this way! you are just having a bad day (month! year!)
My legs are too hairy - Mine have no hair at all -
......Too hairy?? shave! No hair..... do you need it?
My head is too big - 
............and your brain is comfortable so don't worry about it.
I wish i had a 6pack - 
............well man! Gym! Bootcamp! Healthy Eating!
I need steroids -
...................No you dont!! Hardwork can do for you what Steroids wont keep!!


According to God though we are so BEAUTIFULLY made! We are COMPLETE! WHOLE in every way manner and form. Everything is in its place. Every little hair, every dimple, every freckle is just right!! The day You align your thinking to that of God's, Oh My! you will be unstoppable! because it is at that point that you realise YOU are the master of your fate - what you become tomorrow is entirely upto what you do today and that's entirely up to YOU now!! Be the Change you want to see!!! Fortunately and Unfortunately YOU have the Power and if you don't use it, well, hence the unfortunately part!!

So next time, before you put to shame what God has done, count YOUR BLESSINGS ONE BY ONE and see what the Lord has done for YOU!!!

This article is not about all the suffering people in the world and counting yourself lucky, its just about a little self appreciation!!! No one will see you for you until you begin to show yourself! Find your true self and sell that to the world!!

Compliment Someone Today! Love yourself Today!! and Most Importantly THANK GOD for everything, Great and Small!

#Bless
