So often we get caught up in the superficial ways of the world. Nowadays, it’s even easier to do because we have appearance-obsessed ideals thrown in our faces by the media 24/7. It’s totally fun to get dressed up and look nice for dinner or a night out, but fortunately there’s more to life than just what scratches the surface. There are hundreds, even thousands of things that this life contains that are more important than ‘looks’. Here are my top 21 – just in case you need a reminder.
- The way you treat your friends.
- The way you treat the people who can’t do anything for you.
- Finding your passion.
- Living out your passion.
- Calling your parents to let them know you’re doing okay.
- Being healthy.
- Listening to your favorite song over and over, just because.
- Your morning cup of tea/coffee that always wakes you up.
- The movies and books that remind you of your childhood.
- Spending time with your family.
- Long plane/car rides with a pretty view.
- Visiting the city you’ve always wanted to go to.
- Being accepting of all kinds of people.
- Your sense of humor.
- How happy your pet is when you come home.
- Enjoying the holiday season with people you love.
- A double scoop of your favorite flavor of ice cream.
- Being truly, genuinely, and deeply happy.
- Believing in yourself.
- Loving yourself.
- Realizing all the amazing things you’re capable of doing if you spend less time worrying about what you look like.
You are so much more important than your looks. Remember that.
