Until now, little was scientifically known about the human potential to cultivate compassion — the emotional state of caring for people who are suffering in a way that motivates altruistic behavior.

Be your own definition of beauty. Don’t compare yourself to the movie stars, models, porn stars, other students, co-workers, rich, famous, or anyone. You are your own person with your own traits. Express those however you wish whether it’s through art, style, fashion, make up, etc. Put on clothes that make you go, “I look pretty and if someone doesn’t like it, oh well because I do.” Take pride in yourself, your face, and your body. Or do dramatic make up. Hell, go on a beauty rampage and mess around with your looks until you figure out what you like. It’s fun. Heck, go to a Goodwill or some other store and try on the most hideous things because you might find something you like.
Never let anyone tell you are not beautiful, extraordinary, pretty, distinct, appealing, gorgeous, aesthetically pleasing, stunning, classy, charming, lovely, wonderful, or any other positive adjective.
I think it’s ridiculous for people to gain confidence from their looks, but that’s what we are programmed for. Look at the movies, they are all considered extremely attractive, successful, and rich. Therefore we associate being beautiful with success, which is not the case.
Another thing make your own definition for success. Whether it’s to be a stay at home mom someday with a mini van or working as a CEO of a company earning a ton of money. Mine is owning a 300 square house or apartment in a city working as a psych nurse. I am considered silly and frivolous for it, but it’s what I want that is important, not my relatives’, friends’, or society’s. It’s your life, no one else’s.
