Do you really need to fix that?

"Botched"--it's a show about plastic surgery...fixing and adding...I watched it and was blown by how many people have different reasons for completely modifying their look.  Yes, it's mostly about people who have had surgery to fix things that really need to be fixed; but there was a guy who wants to look like Justin Bieber...he has spent over $100K on hair plugs, and all sorts of facial modifications to look like Justin at 18...dude is probably in his 30's and is MUCH taller than Justin, so he can get but so far...

Why can't we just be happy with who we are?  Why is it that we spend our lives looking at others and seeing ourselves as less than???  We do this with all aspects of peoples lives. 

The reality is this:  NO ONE is perfect or lives a perfect life, even the richest person has issues and difficulty, so we should NEVER envy (a form of coveteousness) ANYONE!!  God even speaks to this in the Ten Commandments, " Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbour's." Exodus 20:17. 

This has nothing to do with taking care of your health--losing weight, getting fit, eating better, having procedures to improve your well being--I'm talking about focusing more on accepting where you are and who you are as God made you.  Sometimes it means taking a good, hard look at yourself and even finding the positive in yourself.  There is NO ONE like you!!  You are the perfect YOU...OWN IT!!!
