Insecurity...a phenomena of ignorance

Today I read a poll from Best Life magazine, and it reminded of me how much time and energy we spend fighting our fruitless insecurities.

This month's poll: What body part makes you most self-conscious in bed....
1. My belly(too big-59%) 2. My Penis(too small-20%) 3. My butt(too soft-9%) 4. armpits and 5. Hairy back.

Now, this may be a magazine geared towards men, but both sexes can identify with these in a parallel way. Again, insecurity, anxiety, and this cyclic self destruction is based on a simple cycle of IGNORANCE. We must educate ourselves on those parallels of being human that never change...where this a lean gut, there must always be a large gut, where there are small breasts, there must always be large breasts, and where there are small minds there must always be great minds. These are dependent existences that we must all learn to accept and see in ourselves as well as others.

I could wake up everyday and conclude that my back is too hairy...but for what purpose. I know several men and women who love hairy backs. If I shave my back, what then? Now, I will disappoint the hairy back lovers. YOU ARE PERFECT THE WAY YOU ARE. Nothing in life is permanent. We will never please everyone. So, take pride in what you are...the one simple fact here is...you are ONE OF A KIND. What more could you ask for?

I will say this...I know for a fact where I may be short, one man or woman may be longer...where I am found right, other men and women will find me wrong. Enough said....?

Take pride in being ONE OF A KIND and love yourself.
