Absolutely agree. THe first and foremost thing is to invest in your skill set and your health. WIthout a proper skill set, one can’t accomplish anything, and without a healthy body, it’s game over real soon.

Wow that’s a powerful post. I’ve not felt good about how I look for most of my life, I’ve had some cruel comments put my way, but yeah, what the fuck. If we are below the standards of airbrushed models who still have their bad skin days, so what. I have trouble looking at myself in the mirror. I am a skin picker. Been doing it since the age of 19. I’ll be 33 in August. Have scars all over my back and chest. I’ve always wanted to be accepted, even though I’m different. Different just isn’t accepted in this world. So by reading your post you have made me see that it is okay to be different, we just need to find that acceptance within ourselves. I am not there yet, but you are which is a great achievement. However, people tell me I have a lovely complexion, which I’ll put down to coconut oil and avocados, the good fats that many of us avoid.

Comment on Defining Your Own Gender by Chris Mowry

I think that a kinda limited limited few…from what i have seen when it comes to self identity and gender I’m pretty sure, given the opportunity, many individuals would change there genetics if they could (i mean HRT is a precursor to this and is already wildly in use, although to strictly regulated). I have even had this same conversation with several trans women…one of which was a transhumanist and believed it was an innate human right for her alone to decide her own gender. Perhaps we are not very far of from this actuality either with the advancements in bioengineering we are unearthing. I think we as a society should be tackling these as hardcore ethical question instead of relying on a dogmatic binary that science only appears to back, when choice is not an option.

[...] save this last piece for the end of the week because I loved it the most. It reminded me of what I blogged about earlier this week about expecting good things. The very idea of courting failure, of encouraging others to do it [...]

Yes! Persistence is so important, I think, because you’ll encounter obstacles along the way. It does seem that many people become disengaged easily if things don’t work out easily the first time around. You’re welcome! I enjoyed it. I don’t want to be addicted to failure!

Persistence is my word for 2013. It’s so important and as I progress in my career, it’s the singular thing I see that differentiates those who enjoy what they do and have a purpose. Thanks for linking to my post and sharing your great thoughts.

Comment on Day 1 || Do or Do Not. There is No Try. by Addiction to Failure | Sense of Life

[...] Because many aspects of life are hard, and if you’re being honest, you probably don’t have much desire to put in more effort than you’re currently putting in. And many ways, life can feel overwhelming, or like they have no viable solutions. So if things don’t work out, then it’s okay because someone will always be there to pat you on the back and say that you tried. [...]

I read your post the other day and it made me feel so sad. I just had to respond. I’m 4’9″ tall, 185 lbs (85 of those ponds are in my stomach) and I have male pattern baldness, I have good teeth (my only good PHYSICAL feature).I’m telling you this because I don’t want you to think I’m some pretty person that doesn’t understand what your going through. In spite of my lack of physical beauty, I have a wonderful husband of 15 years and 3 beautiful daughters! I figured out early on that I would never be a beauty queen but I’m smart, fun to be around, trust worthy and strong. Even though I’m not physically attractive I’m confidant in WHO I am and I’m happy with that. That is where my attractiveness comes from I don’t let people walk over me but I am very caring, compassionate and giving… TO THE PEOPLE WORTHY OF IT. Enhance your personality, I don’t know much about you so I can’t give you a specific coarse of action but if your interested in something, immerse yourself in it, become an expert at something. People are attracted to individuals that are passionate about life. i.e. If you love animals join an animal rescue group (you get what I’m trying to say) Don’t be a mope people tend to be irritated by someone that’s always in the dumps. I hope what I’ve said helps in someway, and if family is all you have then enjoy them and be grateful for that, you have more than some
Good Luck
