How We See Ourselves


I found this a couple minutes ago on Facebook.  A friend posted it, and having liked the message of past Dove commercials, I was curious about the theme for this new one.  Nothing prepared me for the emotion I felt while watching this short video, because it's true.  I've fallen in these cracks.  I don't have the best image of myself.  And everyday I struggle to feel beautiful, even though others tell me I'm beautiful, I don't feel it myself.  But watching this video and seeing how others struggle with these same feelings opened something up in me.  We are all beautiful.  And now I want to try and see myself the way others see me, and not in the way my mind distorts and manipulates my perception.  Why are we so hard on ourselves?  It's not reality.
